Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin issued a thinly veiled threat in a Facebook post Thursday afternoon for House Republican freshmen who would vote to raise the debt ceiling: primary challenges.
The warning came about 90 minutes before House Republicans delayed a vote on a debt-ceiling bill as they tried to round up last-minute support.
“Out here in proverbial politico flyover country, we little folk are watching the debt ceiling debate with great interest and concern,” Ms. Palin writes. “P.S. Everyone I talk to still believes in contested primaries.”
The former Alaska governor, who has said she will decide on a possible presidential campaign by September, referenced a letter she wrote to all Republican freshmen in November 2010. The Facebook post includes a copy of that letter with sections in bold that Mr. Palin feels “are especially relevant to the current discussion.”
