I hope her and her lawyers wind up owning that fishwrap.
I’m smiling. Good in you, Sarah.
Fantastic!
Are you following Sarah on Instagram? When I get my page going I’m going to start following her.
Yep! She has even replied to a couple of my Instagram posts :)
Awesome!
That made me smile! Thank you for sharing your blessings with me!
Burden of proof high to prove actual malice. Come on, it was the liberal NYT writing about a Republican. A high profile female Republican. Should be a slam dunk. The NYT had no evidence, just their hate to go on.
That milk carton Where’s Sarah? campaign worked!
