Sarah Palin said on Tuesday that despite the “haters,” she may consider another run for political office.

Host Stuart Varney asked Palin during an appearance on the Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co.” about what he described as the “extraordinary” amount of “hatred” directed at her.

“Bless their hearts, those, uh, those haters out there,” Palin said. “They don’t understand that it, it invigorates me. It wants me to get out there and defend, uh, the innocent. It makes me want to work so hard for justice in this country.”

“So, hey, the more they’re pouring on, the more I’m gonna bug the crap out of them by being out there with a voice, with a message, hopefully running for office in the future, too,” Palin continued.

Varney then asked her about the scrutiny she and her family faced from people like Carol Costello, who last week mocked a police tape of her daughter Bristol Palin, taken after a brawl in which the Palins were involved.

Palin noted that there are people out there who have it “a heck of a lot harder than the Palins do” before launching into a rant against “liberals.”

“They’re out there playing the politics of personal destruction,” Palin said. “They do want to destroy personally those whom they disagree with. They’re very, very intolerant of those who maybe hold opposing views.”
