Sarah Palin said that the GOP nominee should consider selecting Florida Rep. and Tea Party favorite Allen West for the VP slot. “Top of my list is Allen West,” she told Sean Hannity on Fox News Tusday.
I love that he has that military experience. He is a public servant willing to serve for the right reasons. He understands the Constitution. He understands our national foreign policy issues that must be addressed. He has served. I really like him. There are so many, Sean, that are out there. And when I talk about going rogue, what I want to do is encourage the GOP nominee to not think that they have to go with somebody necessarily safe that conventional wisdom perhaps would lead somebody to believe that, if it’s somebody, quote-unquote, safe, that they’re not going to get beat up by the media, because no matter who it is.
Palin noted that the GOP had a “wonderful bench” of potential picks, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, whom she called “great.”
