Former Gov. Sarah Palin on 'My Toughest Year So Far'
CBN News ^ | December 1, 2015 | Wendy Griffith

NEW YORK -- Two presidential campaigns ago, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin became a conservative superstar. Seven years later, the self-proclaimed "Mamma Grizzly" is calling 2015 one of the toughest years of her life.

"Some things happened that I haven't talked about publicly, things like getting canned from a job I really liked, sort of out of the blue, because I called somebody out," she said.

Palin was let go from her job as a Fox News political analyst in June. 

"Next morning I got word, 'Oh, we no longer need you anymore,'" she recalled. "Yeah, it was a shock, but more power to Fox News."

"They're a private enterprise," she continued. "They can fire someone for wearing the wrong color tie that day - that's their prerogative and I've been on both sides of the hiring and firing."

"They (Fox) still interview you?" CBN News' Wendy Griffith asked the former governor.

"Heck, yeah. I have a great relationship with them," she replied. "It was just kind of a little bit of a shocker of knowing that the 'haters' are going to love this one."

Then, the tabloids went into overdrive when the long-awaited marriage of her 25-year-old daughter Bristol didn't happen, even though she's pregnant with her ex-fiancé's baby.

The cancelled engagement was then followed by a cancer scare.

"Bristol said, 'Mom, you need to go into the doctor and get that thing checked," Palin recalled. "She insisted and I resisted so I finally went in to a doctor and got something checked, came back, biopsy - a cancer."

"Melanoma?" Griffith asked.

"Yeah, something like that," Palin said. "Anyway, a surgeon dug it out and everything was okay."

I wonder who she “called out” that got her fired from Fox? Karl Rove? Dana PeRINO? One of the GOP “elites” they are supporting?

Wouldn't be surprised, she's not the type to put up with his arrogance.

I’m wondering if Trump has plans for her. Secretary of Energy or something. Drill Baby, Drill.

Yeah, Melanoma is a very bad thing. We just got word from a relative that a member of their extended family had let a Melanoma on his arm go untreated, and when he finally got to the right doctors, they had to remove his entire arm to save his life. If this country is going to have “A War on Something,” it should be on cancer!
