Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Thursday that he thought the media was “unprincipled” in its coverage of former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s son, Track, who was arrested earlier this week for domestic violence.
The Texas Republican skewered the media for covering Track Palin in an interview with Boston Herald Radio.
“You should leave our family members out of it,” Cruz said. “It’s dirty, it’s unprincipled, it’s wrong, and I’m sorry that Sarah and her family are going through it.”
Track Palin, an Iraq War veteran, was arrested and charged on Monday with three misdemeanor counts for assault. Speaking at a rally for Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump on Wednesday, Sarah Palin seemed to link her son’s post-traumatic stress disorder from serving in the military to President Barack Obama not allocating enough resources to veterans.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest responded to Sarah Palin’s comment Thursday, telling reporters that “domestic violence is not a joke.”

how dare the media report facts about attention-seeking conservatives! Don’t they know they’re supposed to imitate Fox News Channel and tailor their reporting to accord with GOP talking points?
In other words -
“Sara … Please be nice to me again” —
I’m always just a bit amazed, even as a nonbeliever, that this man can call people “liar” or “unprincipled” and not burst into flames on the spot as demons rise up and drag him to hell.
He is still trying to hold on to those outsider coattails but is slipping fast.
Didn’t Mama Grizzly bring up the subject herself?
