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."

WOW had no idea about the melanoma scare. My uncle has melanoma, but its the kind that does NOT spread but keeps on having to be cut out every so often. SO glad that Sarah is OK God Bless her!!
I wonder who she “called out” that got her fired from Fox? Karl Rove? Dana PeRINO? One of the GOP “elites” they are supporting?
Me too!
Sarah’s heart and mind are in the right place.
I’m guessing Bill O’Reilly.
Got to love Sarah!
I Stand With Sarah Palin. FNC can die. They’re already on my sh*t list over Trump.
My guess would be Karl Rove, Perino I doubt it she doesnt have as much power at Fox like Rove has
If I was her.. I’d take a nice long cruise.. To Tahiti.. Just use sunscreen.
Wouldn't be surprised, she's not the type to put up with his arrogance.
She was too conservative for FOX.
I love Sarah.
Hey Sarah, I hear that Alaska could use a new Senator.
I’m wondering if Trump has plans for her. Secretary of Energy or something. Drill Baby, Drill.
O’Reilly is a fake,always blathering gr8 o wing up in tough Levittown on the HS football team(an Al Bundyism)...
Trump/Cruz/Palin that is my dream team..Either Sarah could be energy secretary or secretary of state I would be happy with either
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!
