Sarah Palin to Tucker Carlson: I Never Would Have 'Prostituted' Myself Like Kamala Harris

Appearing with Tucker Carlson ahead of Harris’ big speech on night three of the Democratic National Convention, Palin predicted that “the media” would treat the Democratic ticket like “delicate pieces of China” compared to the way she was treated in 2008 when she was running with John McCain on the Republican ticket.

Speaking carefully, Palin replied, “I would not have prostituted myself in terms of changing any of my positions in order to garner better press.” She went on to suggest that she would “gotten a lot better coverage” had she “compromised my convictions,” seeming to imply that Harris has done that, without providing specific examples.

Palin’s comments come shortly after Carlson used his show to spread a sexist smear against Harris that she used a relationship with an older politician to further her own career.

Later in her interview, Palin lashed out at MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace and Steve Schmidt, both of whom worked on McCain’s 2008 campaign but have since turned away from the Republican Party under Trump. “There was a lot of sabotaging going on, especially at the end of the game there,” she said, calling them “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”

She got made over, and probably had no idea how much some items cost. I wouldn't have wanted to be in her shoes, literally or metaphorically.

The Latest: Sarah Palin Offers Running Mate Advice to Harris
Former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is congratulating Kamala Harris on the historic nature of being selected as Joe Biden’s running mate — and offering some advice on how best to fill the role.

I remember that black go-go outfit with the disco-ball-mirrors when she appeared with Trump to endorse him. She looked like she was ready to go clubbing (without Todd) and got called-in at the last minute to say a few words. She really has zero class.




Nothing says, “Vote Trump!” like former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s Milly jacket, which she wore Tuesday when she endorsed the billionaire developer for president.

Sarah Palin was really on the fringe when she endorsed Donald Trump on Tuesday — and some stylists are wishing she had exercised a veto.

The GOP firebrand donned a glitzy beaded cropped silk chiffon jacket decked in red, white, blue and gold metal embellishments that would have been great on the set of “Electric Horseman” but not in the heat of a campaign.

“It was 100% the wrong choice for the occasion,” celebrity stylist Gretta Monahan told the Daily News, adding that the outfit was fine for a party, but not a political party.

“Her outfit distracted the public into a feeding frenzy about her clothing and not about what she was there to do for Trump,” she added.

But the public may disagree. After all, the $ 695 Beaded Silk Bolero Jacket made in 2014 by New York high-end fashion label Milly is currently sold-out on the Saks Fifth Avenue website.


Sarah Palin’s Milly jacket is sold out on the Saks Fifth Avenue website.

It’s unclear if Palin’s appearance in the jacket this week is driving those sales, as she wore the same garment for a “CBS This Morning” interview in November.

But on Tuesday, the coat of many colors played a supporting role as the former Alaska governor praised Trump as a military-loving deal maker.


Sarah Palin’s Milly jacket has people talking about her fashion choices. Some say it looks like a Technicolor porcupine.

But some voters said it was hard to take anything she said seriously as the light beamed off her dazzling duds.

“Is that chain mail on Sarah Palin?” tweeted Ashley Ciandella.

And that was one of the more charitable assessments:

“The jacket … makes her look like a disco ball hedgehog,” tweeted Shannon Miller.

During her vice presidential run in 2008, the Republican National Committee was forced to admit that it spent $150,000 on her and her family’s clothing from Saks and Neiman Marcus.

Palin told her to not listen to people new to her. That forms the basis of objecting to any expert in any field if you haven't met them yet.

No wonder the nation is so screwed up, with this kind of thinking.

This isn't prostitution, it's strategy. Palin never understood that. If she didn't want to align with McCain, she should have turned down the offer to be part of the ticket.

She thought the VP is in charge of the US Senate. IIRC, she said in some interview that she was looking forward to working with the Senators to promote Republican policies.

Go crawl back under your rock, Sarah. You are 100% irrelevant to anything anymore. Just go away.
