Sarah Palin Embarrasses Herself

In The Young Turks on YouTube by Hlarson2 Comments

 

“The latest video on Sarah Palin’s eponymous online network was billed as a rebuttal to Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) Netroots Nation speech, but some of Palin’s points were just too incoherent to follow.

In the video posted Friday, Palin responded point by point to eleven “commandments” that Warren outlined in her speech to the progressive confab last month. Warren’s sixth point, that fast food workers deserve a living wage, drew so much scorn from Palin that she stumbled over her words a few times.

“We believe — wait, I thought fast food joints — don’t you guys think that they’re like of the devil or something?” Palin said. “Liberals, you want to send those evil employees who would dare work at a fast food joint that you just don’t believe in — I don’t know, I thought you wanted to send them to purgatory or something. So they all go vegan. And wages and picket lines, I don’t know, they’re not often discussed in purgatory are they? I don’t know, why are you even worried about fast food wages? Well, we believe — an America where minimum wage jobs, they’re not lifetime gigs, they’re stepping stones to sustainable wages. It teaches work ethic.””* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
