Sarah Palin defended Donald Trump from ‘gotcha questions’ on CNN’s “State of the Union” this morning.
Jake Tapper asked the former Alaska governor and vice presidential nominee what she thought about Trump’s interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, in which Trump appeared to confuse the Quds Force – an Iranian military group – with the Kurds.
“I think I’d rather have a president who is tough and puts America first, than can win a game of Trivial Pursuit,” Palin said.
“I don’t think the public gives a flying flip if somebody knows who, today, is a specific leader of a specific region or religion,” Palin added. “Because that leader will change, of course, when the next president comes into power, just based on the volatility of politics in these other areas.”
