Piers Morgan Lays Into Sarah Palin For Absurdly Ranting About 'Shenanigans' During 2020 Election

Piers Morgan Lays Into Sarah Palin For Absurdly Ranting About 'Shenanigans' During 2020 Election

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was launched to infamy thanks to her wacky antics as John McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential election campaign.

But although that race has come and gone and her governorship now sits in the rear view mirror, Palin has managed to stir up trouble anyway.


Palin, a longtime supporter of former President Donald Trump, recently appeared on Good Morning Britain, where she was asked to weigh in on Trump's continued insistence that President Joe Biden stole the election win through voter fraud and other illegitimate means.

There has been no evidence to support Trump's claim of election fraud.

Even after the violence at the Capitol on January 6--which was waged in service of Trump's lie--Palin couldn't bring herself to let go of the lie as she spoke to hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid.

When Morgan asked Palin if she accepted Biden's victory, she dodged:

"I want to see that our elections and every polling place is run cleanly, I was a Governor and as a Governor."

Morgan then interrupted her to repeat the actual question--whether she accepted Biden as the legitimate President of the US. Palin dodged again, this time pointing fingers.

"This is crazy, you guys invited me on, let me finish please."
"No, let me finish. I am talking about clean elections and I know that shenanigans do take place in elections, as a Governor I witnessed that."

Morgan was forced to interject again:

"We normally like having you on the program because we have a good two-way, robust debate. Today you've just come on and you're just talking nonsense. I don't think you believe this!"



When Palin asked how Morgan could possibly accuse her of nonsense when she was speaking facts, he thundered back again:

"They're not facts! There was no fraud!"

Reid then took over--letting Morgan simmer for a moment. She added some context of Palin's wild claims.

"Part of the problem for the Republican Party is that people like you - high-level members - are still perpetuating this utter load of nonsense that somehow there was fraud that stopped Trump winning. Trump got hammered in this election!"

People on Twitter were not at all surprised that Palin's appearance ended the way it did.





There is truly no knowing just how long these lies will continue to be told. If a failed coup and dozens of judges ruling against the claim won't do, it's difficult to imagine what will.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
