Sarah Palin assailed fellow Republicans on Friday for failing to support Donald Trump as their party’s presumptive nominee, suggesting that they feel “threatened.” Her message: You’re either with us or you’re against us.
“That gang, they call themselves Never hashtag, whatever, I just call ‘em Republicans Against Trump, or RAT for short,” the former governor of Alaska told attendees of the Western Conservative Summit in Denver, ahead of Trump’s address.
Recalling a past speech she was asked to give at an event that went unnamed, the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate related that the topic of her address was to be on “How is Trump winning” but “more specifically, it was, ‘Why, oh, why is Trump winning?”
“And you know it was really funny, to me, the ‘splodey heads keep ‘sploding over this movement because it seems so obvious,” she said. “[Colorado Republican Senate candidate] Darryl [Glenn] wins, Trump wins, America will win because voters are so sick and tired of being betrayed.”
Those Republicans who oppose Trump, she continued, “want to take their [Denver] Nuggets ball home and stay home instead of vote because their guy didn’t win this time around. Now, you know, I shouldn’t call them thumbsuckers because they’re not all bad. I’m kidding. They are,” Palin said. “And Hillary [Clinton] thanks them because she cannot win without them.”
