There’s no way this could have been done before the announcement of her as a VP. That would have completely destroyed her as VP choice before she ever got off the ground. And it would have been ridiculous to announce it the day of the VP announcement.
As a matter of fact, they raised this before it even became an issue. Remember, the issue was that the trolls said that Bristol was Trig’s mother.
So, they did announce her pregnancy beforehand!
The controversy was started on a totally different and untruthful rumor!
What makes me laugh is that the best the MSM and nutroots can come up with is:
Palin fired an in-law for corruption
and
Palin’s daughter fell in love, got pregnant, and is going to get married.
OH, MY, GOD, stop the presses.
