Palin Skewers Harris, Accuses Her Of Prostituting Herself To Get Where She Is

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 running mate and vice presidential nominee of the late Sen. John McCain, tore a stripe off of Sen. Kamala Harris.

In an interview on the Fox News show “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Palin accused the California senator of prostituting herself for the vice presidential nomination.

“Looking back, is there anything you could have done to get the kind of coverage that Kamala Harris is getting now?” host Tucker Carlson asked Palin.

“Like you care about equality deep within your soul, that you’re a rockstar, a celebrity, you’re the Dalai Lama reincarnated. Could you have done anything to get that kind of coverage?” she said.

“I would not have prostituted myself in terms of changing any of my positions in order to garner better press.” She said.

Palin insisted that she would have “gotten a lot better coverage” if she “compromised my convictions,” the way she implied Harris did.

“Remember, these Democrat candidates, they are treated as delicate pieces of china whereas someone like me, and other kind of hardcore common constitutional conservatives, we’re more like the bull in the china shop,” Palin said.

And she is correct. Imagine if President Donald Trump would not take questions from the press and campaigned from his basement the way democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has.

The media would have a field day mocking him, calling him unfit and chastising him for avoiding them, the way they are not doing to Biden.

“I think that those who are just really, really close philosophically, even with politicians and those in the media, the media is going to treat them with some kid gloves.” She said.

Palin said that media does the “complete opposite treatment when it comes to the different philosophies.”

“I would’ve gotten a lot better coverage had I compromised my convictions, had I decided that I was going to go with the flow in order to get that … liberal coverage that would have been so much better,” she said.

A week ago on Instagram Palin offered a much more friendly piece of advice, and congratulations, to Harris.

Congrats to the democrat VP pick. Climb upon Geraldine Ferraro’s and my shoulders, and from the most amazing view in your life consider lessons we learned: 1) out of the chute trust no one new; 2) fight mightily to keep your own team with you – they know you, know your voice, and most importantly are trustworthy; 3) don’t get muzzled – connect with media and voters in your own unique way. Some yahoos running campaigns will suffocate you with their own self-centered agenda so remember YOU were chosen for who YOU are. So stay connected with America as you smile and ignore deceptive “handlers” trying to change you; 4) some fun terms you may learn: “OTR” – an orchestrated campaign stop that’s meant to look un-orchestrated where you “normalize” in front of voters. (I’d remembered not packing my running shoes, they turned it into a whole campaign stop with media detailing my every move trying on shoes.) OTR’s get bizarre (try eating in front of vultures looking for the “gotcha” shot!) but my team made OTR’s the second most fun thing! “Ropeline”: thee MOST fun thing! Every single handshake and holler and hug and smile melted my heart, energized my soul, and gave me the utmost hope in the greatest country on earth! The ropeline is often the only way to literally touch those whom you wish to serve, so be sincere in looking in their eyes, understanding why they’re there, never forgetting they represent the innumerable Americans putting their trust in you to serve for the right reasons. It’s who and what they represent that is all that matters! 5) don’t forget the women who came before you; 6) have fun! This IS the greatest country in the world and hopefully you’ll be blessed beyond belief, like I was, with meeting new people from all walks of life and see just how great it is! 🇺🇸 more to come… including one of the funniest things in my life, right before my debate with Sen. Joe Biden… stay tuned! – Sarah Palin
