Former VP nominee Sarah Palin offered some cautionary advice to Kamala Harris: “Trust no one new” and “Don't get muzzled.”
Former vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin had some warmhearted and uncharacteristically nonpartisan advice for Kamala Harris as she joined Palin in the small club of women chosen for vice president: "Trust no one new" and "Don't get muzzled."
In an Instagram post hours after Harris was announced as Joe Biden's running mate Tuesday, Palin recounted own experience as John McCain’s running mate as guidance for Harris. She provided the California senator with a six-point plan for avoiding trouble as a woman occupying the No. 2 spot on a major party ticket.“Congrats to the democrat VP pick! Climb upon Geraldine Ferraro’s and my shoulders, and from the most amazing view in your life consider lessons we learned,” began Palin’s post.
“Don’t get muzzled — connect with media and voters in your own unique way,“ she wrote, an allusion perhaps to complaints from McCain’s staff that she sometimes went off-message. “Some yahoos running campaigns will suffocate you with their own self-centered agenda so remember YOU were chosen for who YOU are.“
Palin was the second woman chosen to be the running mate on a major party ticket, selected by Republican nominee McCain in 2008 when she was the governor of Alaska. New York Rep. Geraldine Ferraro was the first, picked to be the No. 2 person on the 1984 Democratic ticket headed by former Vice President Walter Mondale. Both tickets lost badly.
And, she promised more: “More to come... including one of the funniest things in my life, right before my debate with Sen. Joe Biden ... stay tuned!“
