Former Republican nominee for vice president Sarah Palin called out former McCain campaign strategists turned Biden operatives Steve Schmidt in an appearance on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' with host Tucker Carlson. Palin said they are part of the uniparty system and were never on our team to start with, calling them "wolves in sheep's clothing."
"He's a piece of work," Palin said of Schmidt. So is Nicolle Wallace and these other yahoos who are actually running the McCain-Palin campaign."
"To think that they were the ones rolling out, for instance, my candidacy and setting up the interviews," Palin said. "There was a lot of sabotage going on there especially at the end of the game there. But look where they are today. I mean, Steve Schmidt, Oh, my goodness, MSNBC contributor. And Nicolle Wallace is a host. They're wolves in sheep's clothing."

(7,859 posts)nothing would change...they were GOP operatives and some of them still are...it took them years to exhibit any kind of remorse...Rick Wilson, George Conway, Bill Kristol, and all of the good little GOP boys and girls who legitimized Trump and his enablers in the Senate, are now horrified with their monster...so they're serving their penance...I want their self-flagellation to hurts like a bitch!

This woman will do or say anything to get attention. Just when you think she is finally gone, she rears her nutty face again like the monster in a horror movie who refuses to die.

(3,765 posts)Of all the woman politicians he could have picked, she was probably the worst. Even considering they were Republicans. She could have picked someone like Kay Bailey Hutchison or Carly Fiorina or Christine Todd Whitman and instead he chose Sarah Palin. I don't agree with most of their policies but at least they would have been serious candidates.

Ok. I cant help it. It has been 12 years since
@NicolleDWallace
and I had to deal with her paranoia, pathological lying, profound ignorance, brittleness and insanity. We had to deal with her for 70 days. It has been amazing to watch her soar and prove all her critics wrong
