Bristol Palin is clearly now of member of the Republican intelligentsia






Bristol Palin, former reality television star and daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R), criticized President Barack Obama for inviting a Muslim teenager to the White House after he was arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school.

Ahmed Mohamed, a 9th grader at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, was arrested on Wednesday and asked if he tried "to make a bomb" after showing a homemade clock to a teacher. Later in the day, Obama tweeted at Ahmed and invited him to the White House:

In a post on her Patheos blog Thursday, Palin argued Obama should "STAY out" of the situation with Ahmed.

"This encourages more racial strife that is already going on with the 'Black Lives Matter' crowd and encourages victimhood," Palin wrote.

Palin said the police "clearly" made a mistake by taking Ahmed to juvenile detention, and accused Obama of trying to "egg it on." .............(more)

It's strange to see Palin and a version of the word intelligent in the same phrase.

Bristol should be in the Wiki entry. She greatly overestimates her own intelligence and understanding and whether anyone gives a crap.

Or maybe she SHOULD start going to Planned Parenthood, as she obviously doesn't understand (or use) birth control. . . .
