Sarah Palin slams "punk-a**" protesters who disrupt Donald Trump's events

At a rally for Donald Trump, Sarah Palin bashed the protesters who have been interrupting Trump's campaign events.

Trump cancels rally amid clashes between supporters and protesters
"What we don't have time for is all that petty, punk-a** little thuggery stuff that's been going on with these "protesters" who are doing nothing but wasting your time and trying to take away your First Amendment rights, your rights to assemble peacefully," Palin said. "And the media, being on the thugs' side. What the heck are you guys thinking, media? It doesn't make sense. Well, you all get it."

Palin also told voters her husband had been in a big wreck, and when someone is sick in your family, it puts things into perspective.

At the last minute, Palin had canceled a scheduled Trump campaign event in Arcadia, Florida because her husband was in a very serious snow machine crash, a source who knows Palin's travel plans confirmed to CBS News, but she stopped by the Tampa town hall with Trump before heading to the airport to return to Alaska, the source said.

Todd Palin, 51, crashed on Sunday night and is currently hospitalized in intensive care, the source said. It's unclear where exactly the crash occurred and whether it was on a snowmobile or involved another type of machine. The former governor and 2012 GOP vice presidential nominee was on the phone with doctors and family all morning.

1. I wish the best for Todd Palin as he passes through this critical time.

This is a human tragedy and I have no thoughts about their politics now.

[Skittles]

5. you're a better person than his wife

[Ghost in the Machine]

6. Thank you, CaliforniaPeggy, I couldn't have said it any better myself. In times like these, we have

to put our political differences aside and think about the people, other HUMAN BEINGS, who are suffering because of things like this. I hope he pulls through and has a speedy recovery... best wishes to him and his family.

Peace,

Ghost

2. Trump didn't immediately fly her to Alaska using his private jet? nice.

[Kalidurga]

3. I hope he pulls through

Losing a family member isn't something I would wish on anyone.

[Warpy]

4. Apparently the injuries are severe but not life threatening

CBS in Anchorage is a good source for news like this. He might be in ICU for security reasons or simply for observation if he lost consciousness at the scene.

Snowmobile accidents are nasty. I used to see the aftermath flown into Boston hospitals from time to time. I also hope he recovers well.

7. I feel bad for Todd.

He has eight broken ribs and a cracked collar bone.

[Frank Cannon]

9. That sucks.

Even one broken rib is bad. Coughing, sneezing, laughing are all absolutely excruciating. Eight broken ribs? I wouldn't wish that shit on my worst enemy.

Get well, Todd. You've had it bad enough being married to that woman. You certainly don't deserve this.

8. It put things in perspective, huh?

What perspective is sticking around for a town hall and talking about petty, punk-ass thuggery instead of catching the first plane back home? That woman is a piece of work.

10. "She says all of his ribs are now secured by steel bands,

his broken clavicle is anchored by plates and rods -- and doctors are mechanically inflating his collapsed lung.

"It sounds like he's beyond lucky to be alive, since Sarah says Todd's still wincing with every breath and dealing with several bruised organs. She joked he's gonna have a tough time at TSA with all his 'bionic parts.'

"Sarah says doctors still have to fix his broken shoulder and knees, but he has a lot of healing to do before those surgeries."

That wasn't serious enough to get her to return to Alaska immediately? But then again this IS someone who reacted to going into labor a month early with a child she knew had Down Syndrome by spending fourteen hours in a plane!
