‘Let me finish’: Sarah Palin in fiery interview ahead of impeachment trial

Sarah Palin did not pull any punches when she faced off with UK breakfast TV host Piers Morgan in a fiery 13-minute interview.

The tension emanating from Washington D.C. this morning extended all the way across the Atlantic as former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin went on Good Morning Britain to discuss the impeachment trial.

Ms Palin clashed repeatedly with hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid, who pushed back on her claims about election irregularities throughout the 13-minute interview.

“There is no question (the mob) were whipped up because they believed their president, who told them the election had been stolen, fraudulently stolen. That was a lie, wasn’t it?” Morgan asked her.

Donald Trump’s 2nd impeachment trial is set to begin in the Senate today.

“The president has been insisting, so many Americans have been insisting, that our elections are run legally and transparently. And when there were shenanigans, obviously, in so many of the polling areas, the president has insisted that we look into where all these votes had come from,” Ms Palin responded.

“But the election wasn’t stolen, was it Sarah Palin?” Morgan interjected.

“Let’s be honest. Let’s be clear. The election was won fair and square, by a thumping win by Joe Biden. Do you accept that?”

“I want to see that our elections, and every polling place, is run cleanly,” she said, at which point Reid jumped in.

Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial is set to begin in the Senate today.

“The question was, do you accept the election victory by Joe Biden?” she interjected.

“This is crazy. You guys invited me to come on. Let me finish please,” Ms Palin said.

“You didn’t answer my question!” said Morgan.

“Let me finish,” she repeated.

The rest of the interview continued in much the same fashion. Eventually, Morgan declared that Ms Palin was “bonkers”.

“I say this with the utmost respect to you, you’re sounding totally bonkers,” he told her.

“And part of the problem for the Republican party is that people like you, high-level members, high-profile members of the party are still perpetuating this utter load of nonsense.”
