Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin accused Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) of lying by claiming his campaign did not fundraise from lobbyists or special interests. Palin, who endorsed Donald Trump, posted on her Facebook a link to a conservative blog that has what looks to be a screenshot of a Cruz campaign email.

“I will never get — nor do I want — money from D.C. lobbyists or the special interest billionaires,” the Cruz email says, according to the blog’s screenshot. The conservative blog compares the email to a list of Cruz’s top donors, culled from Open Secrets, that includes various conservative political groups, investment banks, hedge funds and D.C law firms.

With the link, Palin wrote, “My oh my. Why must campaigns lie.”

Before she endorsed Trump, Palin was a vocal supporter of Cruz.

  1. Takes a grifter to know a grifter, and Palin is the queen of grift.

  2. Why are we still talking about the Facebook opinions of this half-term former governor of Alaska? Who cares what she thinks or says?

    We’re better than this, TPM.

    At least, we should be…

  3. Dude…watch out for the ice pick in her hand when you hug her!!!

  4. Coming from the Death Panels queen…

  5. Dear TPM, I used to be a TPM junkie. No longer. Pieces like this are a turnoff, especially when there’s so much out there deserving media scrutiny.
