In a lengthy post on her Faceboook page, the former governor of Alaska said “leftists” only use the race card in an effort to “distract” from their own faults as a candidate rather than deal with the scandals they are accused of — in this case ones involving the Clinton Foundation and Clinton’s time at the U.S. Department of State.

“Donald J. Trump was never called a ‘racist’ or a ‘bigot’ until he chose to run against the anointed democrat leader, Hillary Clinton,” Palin wrote. “For decades, Trump has enjoyed close relationships with Americans of all races, colors, creeds, genders, and demographic. The same media covering his relationships with his diverse friends, colleagues and competitors just got sucked in to the left’s politics of personal destruction by not holding Hillary accountable for her sinfully false accusation of racism in the Trump camp.” (RELATED: Sarah Palin Goes Off On #NeverTrump: ‘You’re Either With Us Or Against Us’)
“It’s beyond the pale that Hillary slaps the ‘racist’ label on Trump, thus labeling his supporters the same, for this is the politician who called one of the most renowned former KKK members & recruiter– the late democrat US Senator Robert Byrd–her friend, her mentor and a man of ‘eloquence and nobility,'” she added. “That’s the pot calling the kettle black, eh, Hillary? To Clinton supporters singing, ‘I’m with her,’ please explain how flying with Byrd and Hillary–and the likes of Jeremiah Wright and any other individual thriving on division – will cause America to soar in unity.”
“The jabs Hillary took today seek to divide our nation, which, if gone unanswered, media, will befall us all.”
