On Fox News, Palin used a sexist smear to suggest Harris betrayed her convictions.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Fox News hosts on Wednesday night devoted four hours to Day 3 of the Democratic convention but carried little of the convention itself.

Instead, the programming included more criticism of the Democratic Party; its nominee, Joseph R. Biden Jr.; his running mate, Senator Kamala Harris; former President Barack Obama; and the 2016 Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton.

An example: The host Tucker Carlson asked Sarah Palin if there was anything she could have done in 2008, when she was the Republican vice-presidential nominee, to warrant what she and Mr. Carlson described as the fawning media coverage that Ms. Harris is enjoying.

"I would not have prostituted myself in terms of changing any of my positions in order to garner better press," Ms. Palin said.

{{!!THIS!!}} from a dried up, NEVAH WUZ, (& from what I've been told from friends & family I TRUST IMPLICITLY in & around the Wasilla Valley, [some of them have lived in Alaska since BEFORE the gold rush of the late 19th century], she's the LAST b***h that needs to be calling ANYONE a prostitute, renown in "SOME" circles for "pulling trains" w/AFRICAN cars, if ya'll get my drift)

She has a family full of tweakers, alcobolics, grandbabies born on the wrong side of the blanket, (doesn't bother me BUT DON'T LIE about being pregnant when EVERYONE knows that Trick or whatever that poor kids name is that monstrosity's grandbaby, NOT her child), f*cked up
marriages, felons, ghetto-ized behavior, jumping folks in their own homes, kids who like to put paws on the mentally deficient folks who WILLINGLY get involved with them, ad nauseum & ad infinitim!

I am SO sick of that bitch, (I know that there are SOME here who have a problem with using that kind of language but considering what she said EXPLICITLY about Kamala, {saying that she "prostituted herself" WHAT THE FUCK?!}) Soooo, f it's A-OK for her to LIE about Kamala using VILE language and KNOWING her behaviour, then, she has EARNED the moniker....FUCK IT!

Remember the popularization of her saying "lipstick on a pig"? (From the person that originally injected it into the bodypolitik"?).

Classy.....

5. Sarah Palin's Son Arrested for Burglary and Assault in Alaska

Track Palin, the oldest son of former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, was arrested on burglary and assault charges on Saturday.

The 28-year-old, who was picked up by police in Wasilla, Alaska, was arraigned Sunday morning after his arrest on charges of felony burglary, assault in the fourth degree, and criminal mischief for causing property damage between $250 and $999, NBC News reports. All charges are said to be related to domestic violence.

Details regarding the incident have not been made available, and John Tiemessen, a lawyer for the Palin family, said that Track Palin’s parents were unable to comment at the time.

“Given the nature of actions addressed last night by law enforcement and the charges involved, the Palins are unable to comment further,” Tiemessen said. “They ask that the family’s privacy is respected during this challenging situation just as others dealing with a struggling family member would also request.”

This isn’t the first time that Palin has faced trouble with the law. The 28-year-old Army veteran was arrested on domestic assault charges in January 2016. He was charged with assault in the fourth degree, interfering with a domestic violence report, and misconduct involving weapons. Palin’ girlfriend told police that she had been punched in the face.
