TYT: Sarah Palin To Be Trump's Secretary Of Stupid



Recently Sarah Palin was interviewing Donald Trump. They got along famously. She has since been asked about a potential cabinet position in the Trump Administration. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Sarah Palin is already picking out a job for herself in the forthcoming Donald Trump administration. She'd like to run the Department of Energy for a brief period, before abolishing it.

Sounds promising! Except for one tiny little catch — it's not clear she even knows what the department does. Here's what she told CNN:

"I think a lot about the Department of Energy, because energy is my baby: oil and gas and minerals, those things that God has dumped on this part of the Earth for mankind’s use instead of us relying on unfriendly foreign nations."

"I'd get rid of it. And I'd let the states start having more control over the lands that are within their boundaries and the people who are affected by the developments within their states. If I were in charge of that, it would be a short-term job, but it would be really great to have someone who knows energy and is pro-responsible development to be in charge.””*
