Sarah Palin BLASTED For Blaming Son’s Domestic Abuse On Obama

While Sarah Palin was endorsing born-again conservative Donald Trump for president in Iowa, her son Track was working hard to make sure the Palin family lives up to its reality TV image. Track was reportedly arrested on fourth degree assault charges stemming from a domestic violence incident.

This couldn’t come at a worse time for Palin, who had just that day popped her head into the national limelight again. So how does Palin respond to such unfortunate family news? Blame Obama, of course.

“But my son, like so many others, they come back a bit different. They come back hardened,” Palin told a Trump rally in Oklahoma.

“They come back wondering if there is that respect for what it is that their fellow soldiers and airmen every other member of the military so sacrificially have given to this country,” she added.

Palin launched the crowd into cheers for veterans and their freedoms before bringing up her son.

You can watch the video of her remarks below.

Palin’s mixing of her son’s behavior with the very real issue of veteran neglect was too much for many. She was ripped apart on social media for it. Here’s just a couple examples:

I hope Track Palin gets help he needs, but blaming your son’s arrest on Obama in a campaign speech is…something https://t.co/IPp2dHNdZD
