Bristol Palin shames Ted Cruz in brutal rebuke for slamming her mom
Palin’s pick serves a stinging blow to Cruz, who received the backing of the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate during his Senate campaign in 2012. “I am proud to have her support”.
Sarah Palin announced her vote in the coming USA presidential elections goes to Donald Trump. “You deserve the best!”
In an interview with NPR after the rally, Palin said she is happy that Trump is running.
Palin’s support will likely provide a big boost to Trump’s campaign in Iowa, where he has been neck and neck with Texas Sen.
She said last month: “What a nice problem to have if it came down to Cruz and Trump”.
The second line of the cover story reads “Hate Minds Think Alike: Palin Endorses Trump”.
“I don’t think she’d want to do it”, Trump said on NBC’s “Today” show on Wednesday.
Trump, whose team had been touting a major, surprise announcement, praised Palin as “a friend, and a high-quality person whom I have great respect for” in a statement.
“He is from the private sector, not a politician”, Palin said in an animated speech after joining the business mogul and former host of TV’s “The Apprentice” onstage.
Trump has been campaigning in Iowa over the past days.
Mr Trump, on a three-stop visit to Iowa, promised reporters that a “special guest” would be at the third and final of his stops. However, The New York Daily News shared that Palin has many supporters in Iowa from the many political connections she’s developed with the state over the past years. And then the tabloid ran a headline about Palin’s son being arrested on suspicion of assaulting a woman: “SARAH’S DRUNK SON BEAT GAL PAL, WAVED RIFLE: COPS”. Cruz-bashing has become a recent fixture of Trump rallies after the two butted heads over Trump’s challenges to his eligibility because of his birth in Canada.
Though both Trump and Cruz both have a combative history with Palin’s former running mate John McCain, it seems Palin was able to overlook Trump’s comments about the former POW not being a war hero, and had no qualms supporting the wigged Cheeto.
“I think it helps Trump overwhelm the news cycle with Trump coverage at a critical time”, he said.
