EXCLUSIVE — PALIN CALLS FOR BOYCOTT AFTER BUZZFEED HIT PIECE ON TRUMP
Breitbart Big Journalism ^ | 19 Feb 2014, 9:13 AM PDT | Tony Lee

Posted on 02/19/2014 2:55:07 PM PST by onyx




Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has a message for Donald Trump about BuzzFeed blogger McKay Coppins, and it's one that other Republican officials might heed when liberal journalists come looking to "humanize" them.

"This nervous geek isn't fit to tie the Donald's wingtips," Palin told Breitbart News after Trump ripped Coppins for lampooning him with what he alleged were out-of-context quotes and boorish behavior at Trump's Florida resort. "Don't ever give him attention again."

Coppins tricked Trump's advisers into thinking he would profile Trump as a potential "major" GOP 2016 presidential hopeful. As Breitbart News reported, the Jan. 5 email from Coppins to now former-Trump aide Sam Nunberg read:

“I've already done big profiles of all the major 2016 GOP players, including substantial sit-down interviews with Rand Paul and Scott Walker, and features on Ryan, Rubio, Cruz, etc,” Coppins told Nunberg, adding that choosing BuzzFeed for the profile would “show that he's ahead of the curve and understands the new media landscape.”

His access secure, Coppins attended Trump's speech at New Hampshire's famed "Politics and Eggs" breakfast, which has hosted nearly every major presidential candidate. The resulting piece, "36 Hours on the Fake Campaign Trail with Donald Trump," was one of the most venomous hit pieces in recent memory. Coppins trashed Trump as a joke, with all the preconceived notions, snark, backhanded compliments, innuendo, and mockery that those like MSNBC's Chuck Todd, a notorious Trump hater, and Coppins' editor, Ben Smith, have been throwing around for years.

Trump was good to her and she is loyal to her friends.

Just look at McCain. She’s a much better friend to him than he is to her.

God will reward Sarah Palin, if He isn’t already.

Coppins looks like a soft larva to me.

What a pathetically embarrassing excuse for a 'male' that sissified creature is.

It’s a good thing I don’t have the kind of money Trump has. I’d be sickin’ my dogs on those bastards and ruining their lives.

"This nervous geek isn't fit to tie the Donald's wingtips,"

Seriously, I'm not sure it's a good idea for Governor Palin to appear to suck up so much to "the Donald and his wingtips."

Trump is a clown. Why go out of her way to defend him. I don’t get it.

Sorry, here is the direct quote: ...isn't fit to tie the Donald's wingtips

Hopefully, in before the grammar police...

I read the Trump piece...I’m not sure I see how relating how events unfolded and sharing what people say can be construed as a hit piece.

But then, I think Trump is a buffoon, a liar, a megalomaniac, a cheat and has zero interest in anyone but himself and perhaps his children.

I wish he would just quit pretending to be interested in any political office...of any kind...in any place.

And I wish people would just ignore the orange jerk. Now...I normally don’t like to pick on what someone looks like...but in Trump’s case...his skin color (orange) and his hair color (also orange) are not something he was born with. He voluntarily does the orange thing to himself. It really does indicate that Trump has no one who tells him the truth...NO ONE seems to dare tell him the truth.

I read the Trump piece, and it wasn’t all that bad. Yes, it paints him as a narcissistic, self-aggrandizing fake “politician,” and suggests that he is stringing us along and will never actually run for office, but who didn’t know any of that already?

I should have read farther before responding. You wrote what I wrote...you just did it in fewer words. Good on you! :)

Sarah, while you may be right about your advice to Trump, my advice to you would be to stay away from Trump. He is nothing but a loud-mouthed opportunist.

Because he has LOTS of money that someday, may come in handy for her.

Fewer words, yes. But not nearly as eloquent (or scathing) as your comment.

“Trump is a buffoon, a liar, a megalomaniac, a cheat and has zero interest in anyone but himself and perhaps his children.”

I like it :)
