Sarah Palin’s Tasty Word Salad of the Day: “When You’re Here, Let’s Speak American!”
Sarah Palin is angling for a job with President Donald Trump (shudder) as energy secretary, believe it or else, and today she appeared on CNN where Jake Tapper inexplicably interviewed her as if she’s a credible figure, and agreed with The Donald that people who are in America should “speak American.” Yep, she really said that.
She also said in this interview that she took both Spanish and French in high school, but she “shouldn’t have taken ‘em both” because she “got ‘em all mixed up.” Which is not difficult to believe at all.
And this part was especially wonderful:
I think Republicans and independents, that is the party of tolerance! It certainly doesn’t matter the color of your skin! And some of the other things that uh, you know, are banted round as being, um, kind of the judging barometer of whether somebody is welcome in the party or not.
“Banted?” What language does that come from? It’s the 2015 version of Palin’s classic made-up word, “refudiate.”
