Bristol Palin
Have you been paying attention to what’s happening in Alabama? Judge Roy Moore is running against a guy named Luther Strange who was appointed under very suspicious circumstances. My Mom — who’s been against “The Swamp” for years — decided to endorse Moore over Strange. “When people realize the background of one candidate, as opposed to the background of another candidate, it’s just abundantly clear who it will be who will have the people’s back, who will fulfill the promises, and put the people first,” she said.
From Moore’s bus, she gave an interview with Breitbart to explain why she chose to endorse this candidate:
“This movement has been rumbling underground for so many years,” Palin told Breitbart News. “We finally, during the last presidential election, had a spokesperson for what it was we had been saying and thinking and that was ‘put America first.’ Put America first. A lot of that movement, for Republicans, has to do with the battle against the Republican Party hierarchy that seems more concerns about party politics and positions—their own titles—versus what’s best for their own constituents. I’ve been fighting that since I was 18 years old and first registered to vote against the Republican Party in my own state, bless their hearts, running against them when they were not believing in smaller, smarter government and they weren’t exercising Reaganomics. Running against them, winning, and it’s helpful to see it wasn’t just little old Wasilla, Alaska, that had those types of battles. Those battles have been going on all across this country, and finally enough people stood up and said ‘enough is enough’ and that’s the movement. It’s all good, it’s all positive. It’s all energetic.”
The special election is going to happen tomorrow, and it seems like Moore is the hands down favorite… She also warned against the “establishment” taking over the White House. “Did anybody think they were going to give up power easily and gently? No. It’s a battle,” she said. “It’s a battle for the future of this country. No, the swamp creatures don’t want the swamp drained. That is what we voted for and our duly elected president is sent there to represent that way of thinking. So, no, they’re not going to give up their power easily and gently and just go on their merry way.”
She went on to describe Judge Moore as a “happy warrior:”
“We can [win this war],” Palin said. “This is what we need, the happy warriors who are in it for the right reason. They’re in it for a reason, not just a season and not just a business for them. They have a servant’s heart that we need in our government. So, yeah, we certainly can. I’ve followed Judge Moore’s career for many years, as I said, and the ups and downs and the battles that he’s had inside and outside of the party and always standing up for what he believes is right. Some of the things he’s done, I’ve just gotten a kick out of, and I think they need some of that in Washington—like when he showed up to vote riding a horse, I thought we’d probably do the same thing. He’s a good man and he’s got great character. Yes, this is what we need. We don’t need the lobbyist mentality in the Senate, because that lobbyist mentality has too often proven to the people that special interests that will enrich that lobbyist will come before the people’s interest. We can’t afford any more of that. That has led us to the $20 trillion debt that we’re in. That has led us to the government growth and overreach that we see. So, no, we don’t need to elect more of the problem—we’re not going to solve the problem by electing more of it.”
It’ll be good to see Moore win tomorrow!
