The jury deliberated a little over two hours before reaching its verdict. A judge and a different jury had reached the same conclusion about Palin’s defamation claims in 2022, but her lawsuit was revived by an appeals court.
Palin was subdued as she left the courthouse and made her way to a waiting car, telling reporters: “I get to go home to a beautiful family of five kids and grandkids and a beautiful property and get on with life. And that’s nice.”
Later, she posted on the social platform X that she planned to “keep asking the press to quit making things up.”
The saga of Sarah Palin is a perfect example why you should NEVER, EVER, as a ‘normal’ politician, associate yourself with fascist/populist politicians.
Who is the normal politician in this saga?
She’s terrible, but more normal than McCain.
The main thing is that she would have avoided national scrutiny and pushes for ethics investigations, if she just stayed in Alaska. She was the first woman and the youngest governor of Alaska and early on she had around 90% popularity among voters there.
Then she saw dollar signs and hitched her ride to the far right, and has been laughed out of Alaskan elections ever since, and ended up doing Fox shows and failing to sue the press for defamation.
She rose to national fame riding on John McCain’s coattails ofcourse.
