Sarah Palin, a former vice presidential candidate, has criticized the most sensitive former Republicans who have since joined anti-Trump reasons or got jobs on cable news networks, calling them “crazy” who are only interested in themselves.
“Oh, go forward and distinguish them,” Palin said of Steve Schmidt’s appearance on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News screen on Wednesday night. “It’s a job. The same is happening for Nicole Wallace and the other Yahoos, who were actually leading the McCain-Palin Array crusade… Some of them didn’t even vote for the ticket. They left the shipment early in terms of enthusiasm for Republicans to be elected that year in ’08, and this is demonstrated through what they are doing today.”
Schmidt is a contributor to MSNBC and a founding member of the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump PAC made up of former donors and agents of the Republican establishment. Democratic organization Joe Biden as president.
“Donald Trump was the worst president this country has ever had, and I don’t say it hyperbolicly. It is. But he’s an important president,” Schmidt said in June. “And it has led this country in three short years to a position of weakness that is only if you were wondering where we are today from the day Barack Obama left office. And many of us that day were deeply skeptical and very concerned about the Trump presidency would be like this. But this is a moment of unprecedented national humiliation, of weakness.”
Wallace was the communications director of former President George W. Bush and worked on his re-election crusade in 2004. Today, he is an MSNBC host and attacks President Trump and his allies.
“The right is not to perform an intellectually fair operation to determine whether Tara Reade is a victim or not,” Wallace said of the allegations of sexual assault that oppose Biden. “The right is conducting a defamation crusade against Joe Biden.”
Palin has accused former Republicans, including Schmidt and Wallace, of sabotaging her and Senator John McCain’s overdue candidacy for the White House in 2008.
“[These are] wolves dressed in sheepskin, and there was a massive exhibition,” Palin said. “Those of us who have suffered from what we are capable of is a kind of justification for us because it’s like, ‘Look, you said it. For one thing, they were never a component of our team.'”
