Sarah Palin: Trump should pull US out of 'globalist circus' UN over Israel vote



Sarah Palin urged the president-elect to pull the United States from the United Nations.

The former half-term governor of Alaska and failed vice-presidential candidate, joined other Republicans in urging punitive action against the international body after the Security Council approved a non-binding resolution to condemn Israeli settlement, during an interview with Breitbart Radio.

“I think many of us have called for America to really step up and consider what it is that we are funding and supporting via the U.N., and how it works so hard really against U.S. interests, and just saying – look what the U.K. just did,” Palin said, referring to the United Kingdom’s vote to withdraw from the European Union. “This is such an encouraging time, where it’s not just us, but those across the pond, too, are understanding that their nation’s sovereignty and security are on the line here, with the ties that bind us to interests that really don’t further our agendas.”

Other conservatives — including Mike Huckabee, who said he’d like to “jackhammer” the UN headquarters into the East River, and Sen. Cruz (R-TX), who called on Congress to defund the UN — have loudly condemned the vote and the Obama administration for not stopping it.

You've had your 15 minutes, and more of fame.

You've made your millions and, one hopes, you still have some of it. Just go away. No one cares about your opinion and I think that even the horny Republicans are now looking for someone younger.

Just go away.

I hope Palin's husband and his secessionist friends succeed in making Alaska a separate country soon.

The only thing the EU has in common with the UN is the word Union. Does Sarah not know that the UN is a totally different type of organization than the UN? FFS, of course she doesn't.

Why does anyone listen to that moron?

The position that the Obama administration has taken is exactly the position the Reagan administration took in December 1987, and the same position that caused President Bush to hold up $10 billion in loan guarantees to Israel in 1991. Is Palin saying that Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush were working against America's agenda, too?

And make up their own versions of facts, history, and logic to suit their own agenda. Remember when Palin made up that shit about Paul Revere's ride and got tons of shit for it? Yeah it's kind of like that.

I have yet to hear one peep from the chronically outraged about it. They're sure mad at that Obama, but they don't really know why. Well, except that it has nothing to do with race, because nothing is ever about race nowadays.

Just like it was okay that Reagan raised taxes and granted amnesty.

It just morphed into the TeaBagger movement. Of course our new fearless leader has zero core beliefs other than "Money = Good" so he'll be grabbing any horseshit the new Republican/Birch/TeaBagger Party shoves in his face.
