Former Republican vice presidential nominee and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said that having the park that surrounds the nation’s tallest peak named Denali was “good enough.”
President Obama announced last week that the mountain, which sits in the park, would be renamed from “Mt. McKinley” to “Denali,” the Alaska Native name.
Palin told CNN’s Jake Tapper Sunday that she had one niece named “Denali” and another niece named “McKinley,” which is indicative of how there is a “bit of a split” on how Alaskans feel on the topic.
Alaska named the park “Denali National Park and Preserve” in 1980, according to CNN.
“I thought that was good enough,” Palin said.
She questioned why Obama chose now to rename the mountain, noting that “our economy still sucks.”

REALLY ? They gave her AIRTIME ? WOW!
I guess this resurrection is part of the Trump effect.
You know, she’d vanish forever if idiotic “reporters” seeking “controversy” would just stop thrusting microphones near her mouth. Can we make that a possible Pulitzer or Emmy or something, or maybe some sort of humanitarian award?
He did it to PISS YOU OFF.
She’s earned a Pukelizter for Vacuous Word Salad.
I guess TPM thought we needed something to comment about on Sunday. As I said before, who gives a rat’s ass what this dumb POS thinks. Having said that, the struggle to change the name to Denali has been going on for 40 or more years. She lives there and hasn’t a fucking clue.
