Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin released a statement Wednesday night defending Miss California against "the liberal onslaught of malicious attacks."The true believer constitutionalists are quick to point out that First Amendment really doesn't have anything to do with this case, but only protects someone from government persecution. While that is the correct interpretation, as long as the left is willing to consider urine and dung artwork as "free speech", then I think we can go with statements made at beauty pageants.
Prejean finished second in the Miss USA contest after voicing her opposition to gay marriage in response to a question by pageant judge and openly gay blogger Perez Hilton. Prejean was attacked by some on the left for her answer, but emerged as a star among social conservatives following the contest.
Palin said she spoke to Prejean soon after the contest and "can relate as a liberal target myself."
"What I find so remarkable is that these politically-motivated attacks fail to show that what Carrie and I believe is also what President Obama and Secretary Clinton believe — marriage is between a man and a woman," Palin said.
The Alaska governor went on "applaud" Donald Trump for not stripping Prejean of her Miss California crown after risque photos of her emerged following her answer in the pageant.
"I respect Carrie for standing strong and staying true to herself, and for not letting those who disagree with her deny her protection under the nation's First Amendment Rights," Palin said.
"Our Constitution protects us all - not just those who agree with the far left."
