Appearing on Newsmax’s The Chris Salcedo Show Thursday, serial liar and far-right extremist 2008 VP nominee and 2022 Congressional candidate Sarah Palin (R) whinged and moaned about Traitor Tot Donald Trump’s 3rd indictment that was handed down on Tuesday by calling it “injust”. This indictment was for Trump’s role in spreading lies about the 2020 election outcome that fueled the Capitol Insurrection.
Former Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin is very concerned that Donald Trump’s indictment is “injust” and like Orwell’s 1984 is making people “afraid of their thoughts.”
Sarah Palin says former President Donald Trump’s D.C. indictment is “injust” and making people “afraid of their thoughts.”
Ms. Palin said, “It’s surreal what’s going on. It’s injust. My other word for this though is Orwellian.”
The Republican compared it to Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece of 1984, “Remember, the book 1984. We saw freedom of speech in that book once it was thwarted, people began then to be afraid of their thoughts, of thinking something, because they were afraid to articulate it or they were going to be busted by the government.”

“That is what is happening to Donald Trump,” Palin continued. “He expressed his opinions on the elections. A whole lot of Americans expressed their opinions on the elections. Democrats for years have denied election results.”
This is not actually true. The indictment actually addressed Trump’s right to freedom of speech. He’s being indicted for his actions, not his thoughts.
“And now, what has that resulted in? The head honcho, the attempt to jail him for expressing his opinion. That is Orwellian, and it leads a slippery slope and into much more than controlling speech.”
Dear Mrs. Palin, Donald Trump was indicted for his actions regarding the 2020 elections, and not for his words. This indictment is NOT about “free speech” in the slightest.
No, Donald Trump is NOT the “victim”, Mrs. Clueless Asshat. He is the perpetrator, plain and simple.
