Watch: Sarah Palin Takes Swing at Beck at Wisconsin GOP Dinner
Sarah Palin took a swing at Glenn Beck Friday night, indirectly going after the radio host for visiting the Southern U.S. border in 2014 to deliver tractor-trailers full of food, water, teddy bears and soccer balls to underage refugees.
Palin, a top surrogate for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, made her comments on illegal immigration at a Wisconsin Republican Party fundraiser ahead of Tuesday’s primary. She contended that other candidates “didn’t want to talk about it,” but Trump “made them.”
“Now because he beat the media on that issue. … But knowing that Trump won on that issue it should empower you to go ahead and ask the candidates,” Palin said. “‘What the heck are you thinking candidates. What are you thinking when you’re going ahead and asking for more illegal immigrants?’ Even illegal immigrants. Welcoming them!”
“Even inducing them and seducing them with gift baskets,” she continued. “‘Come on over the border and here’s a gift basket of teddy bears and soccer balls.’ What are you thinking? It’s just inviting more.”
When Beck visited the border in 2014, Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) joined him. Beck has been a top surrogate for Cruz in the 2016 election cycle. (Read more from “Palin Takes Swing at Beck in Rambling Speech at Wisconsin GOP Dinner” HERE)
