The father of Sarah Palin’s grandchild accused the Alaska governor on Wednesday of lying about him and his family.
Levi Johnston said during an interview on CBS’s “Early Show” that he moved into the governor’s house a few weeks before Bristol Palin gave birth to their child.
Palin’s camp has denied the claim, but Johnston insisted the governor is not telling the truth. “They said I didn't live there,” he said. “I was like, 'OK, well, whatever you want to call it. I had my stuff there.'”
Asked if the Palin was lying about him, Johnston simply said: “Yes.”
Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton lashed out at the 18-year-old over the weekend, prior to his appearance Monday on the “Tyra Banks Show.”
“We’re disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration and even distortion of their relationship,” Stapleton said. “It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well-being of the child.”
Johnston denied Wednesday that he is trying to “exploit” his relationship with the governor’s family.
“We're not cashing in on their name,” he said.“I'm just trying to get my side of the story out there and letting people know who I am.”
Looking back at his time in the spotlight, Johnston said the biggest misconception about him is “that my family’s white trash.”
Did he get his driver’s license reissued with the new address? Isn’t that what you need to prove residency these days?
Why is the press still covering...
Oh, nevermind.
Real classy guy - He should just Shut up!!! Be a man you spinless whimp!

That’s spineless with an E
Todd will handle it.
I liked you better before I knew who you were.
The only people who care what this lyin’ trash says are libs.
They want us to care.
This is ridiculous. Why did the media even ask him again. This won’t be resolved as it is a he said she said scenario. Plus where is his proof. Since he made the statements, I think he should provide proof of his statements.
“This is why Palin never should have said anything beyond “No Comment” the first time this punk opened his mouth. Every time she responds, it gives the media another excuse to put this guy on TV.”
Yep. There wasn’t anything all that horrifying on the Banks show. Shouldn’t have responded.
DNC press monkeys doing what they do.

You know you're white trash if ... you have to deny you're white trash.
> This is why Palin never should have said anything beyond “No Comment” the first time this punk opened his mouth. Every time she responds, it gives the media another excuse to put this guy on TV.
Yeah, but “No Comment” is always a foolish response to make to any media enquiry. It is always interpreted to mean you have something to hide, and it makes them dig deeper and harder.
I’d prefer to say “This is a private family matter, and we are dealing with it as such. We’d be grateful if you would please afford us our privacy, which we believe is a reasonable request.”
That says the same thing as “No Comment” but makes it unreasonable to dig further.
That’s what I wonder. Why is the saga of Bristol Palin and her baby and her ex-boyfriend considered important national news? Why is the MSM covering this stuff?
Good question too, why is Governor Palin apparently responding to any of this? The MSM will simply twist whatever response she gets into their template of trying to discredit her, by any means necessary, over any subject in her life.
Heh - all kinds of white trash in AK. It’s like a cold Mississippi.
>>>Looking back at his time in the spotlight, Johnston said the biggest misconception about him is “that my family’s white trash.”<<<
The Johnston’s aren’t white???
Political death by a thousand media cuts. You can’t pick your family and you can’t shoot your inlaws.
Doesn’t change my support of Gov. Palin.
Go Sarah!
I didn’t exactly RESPECT him before...and this is not the way to earn it, either.
Dim bulb. But as a parent, you cannot choose who your daughter sees. May want to, but it doesn’t work that way.
