Sarah Palin Announces She’s Running for Congress in Alaska
New York Times ^ | 04/01/2022 | Jazmine Ulloa and Jeremy W. Peters

Posted on 04/01/2022 5:24:21 PM PDT by Drew68

Sarah Palin, a former Alaska governor and the Republican nominee for vice president in 2008, said Friday that she was entering the race for Alaska’s lone congressional seat, marking her return to national politics after she helped revive the anti-establishment rhetoric that has come to define the Republican Party.

She will be joining a crowded field of nearly 40 candidates to fill the House seat left vacant by Representative Don Young, whose unexpected death last month has spurred one of the largest political shifts in the state in 50 years.

Ms. Palin said she planned to honor Mr. Young’s legacy, painting a dystopian picture of the nation in crisis, criticizing the “radical left,” high gas prices, inflation and illegal immigration.

“America is at a tipping point,” she said in the statement. “As I’ve watched the far left destroy the country, I knew I had to step up and join the fight.”

As long as Alaska has both RCV and RCV-enabled voting machines, Palin gets in only if Deep State allows it.

PALIN MOCKED IN 2008 FOR WARNING PUTIN MAY INVADE UKRAINE IF OBAMA ELECTED Breitbart ^ | Feb 28, 2014 | By Tony Lee

During the 2008 presidential campaign, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin warned that if Senator Barack Obama were elected president, his “indecision” and “moral equivalence” may encourage Russia’s Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine.

Palin said then:

“After the Russian Army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama’s reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia’s Putin to invade Ukraine next.”

She will be running against 40 opponents for this seat.

She will stand out.

She endorsed Trump early on and he may return the favor.

Excellent news since she has a statewide constituency. It could put her in position eventually to challenge Murkowski.

Nice to see she will attempt this. With something like 40 people in the upcoming Republican primary, should be interesting. Wonder if Trump will offer or change endorsement (don’t know if he’s already endorsed anyone).

Her speech at the convention was awesome!

"A small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities." Ha.

Wish she’d take out the Murk.

Kelly Tshibaka will make a fine replacement for Murkowski. We need Sarah in Congress. I think they will make a great team for Alaska and, maybe, just maybe, they will motivate Sullivan. Sullivan has been a sore disappointment for me.

True Conservatives have a LOT to run on this time around, thanks to Brandon & Crew!

RINOs and UniParty Members? Not so much.

Go, Sarah! But, watch your six! You’ll most likely be the most hated person by the left and the right, right behind President in Exile, Trump. :(

14 lawsuits were filed against Sarah Palin, all of which were eventually thrown out of court but for all of which she had to pay her own attorneys fees. The Democrats are evil and will stop at nothing to destroy the opposition.
