Sarah Palin is not usually one to make public appearances with the international media.
So you can be sure that when she does — she’s got something to say.
And her latest media appearance was nothing short of fireworks.
Palin appeared on Good Morning Britain with talk show host Piers Morgan, and the two clashed over former President Donald Trump’s role in the Jan. 6 Capitol siege.
Morgan insinuated that Mr. Trump — formerly a close friend of his — should be held responsible for the insurrection.
Palin disagreed.
She maintained focused on the actions of the rioters, referring to them as “idiots who stormed the Capitol.” Palin also called out the rioters for putting the onus of the blame on Trump’s doorstep.
“Now they’re blaming the president for their own actions,” she said. “I think that’s a symptom of a societal problem where people just cannot take responsibility for their stupid — and criminal — acts.”
And she didn’t forget to rope the media in for its fair share of blame.
“Well, isn’t it convenient,” she went on. “Because the media has made it sound like, President Trump had instigated or certainly encouraged rioters. Which is bull.”
“There is no question they were whipped up to because they believed their president, who told them the election had been stolen, fraudulently stolen,” Morgan fired back. “That was a lie, wasn’t it?”
Though Palin never denied that President Joe Biden had won the election, she insisted that she simply wanted to see fair elections.
“… when there were shenanigans, obviously, in so many of the polling areas, the president has insisted that we look into where all these votes had come from.”
She went on to explain the particular instances of voter fraud “shenanigans” before she grew frustrated after being talked over by Morgan and his co-host.
“This is crazy,” she said. “You guys invited me to come on. Let me finish please!”
Heated moments came and went during the spirited interview, but perhaps most of all when Morgan’s frustration boiled over as he continually shouted, “Where’s the fraud?”
