The awkward moment Sarah Palin raised $25,000 for Hillary Clinton's election campaign
|
Version 0 of 1. Sarah Palin is so right wing, she thinks FOX News is left of centre. So she probably wasn’t expecting to be the catalyst of a $25,000 election campaign boost for her Democrat opponent Hillary Clinton. How? By not choosing her props carefully enough. During a speech at the Iowa Freedom Summit last week, she whipped out a Ready for Hillary PAC magnet. “I’m ready for Hillary, are you? Are you coming?” she told her largely Republican audience. “Hey Iowa, can anyone stop Hillary? To borrow a phrase, ‘Yes we can!’ And it starts here and it starts now.” Luckily for the Ready for Hillary campaign, they were. And tweeted an image of the event along with a link to a fundraising email, asking donors to give $20.16 to own a car magnet just like Palin’s: Did you see who has a @ReadyForHillary magnet?
