Sarah Palin said Thursday on Newsmax that former President Donald Trump's indictment is bringing Democrats' weaponization of the federal government to the forefront.
Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate in 2008, told "Eric Bolling The Balance" that the New York grand jury investigating the Stormy Daniels hush money payment made an "un-American" decision.
"This goes against every aspect of our foundation, of a fair and a blind justice system," Palin argued. "But no, this proves, 'Show me the man, and I'm going to find you the crime.' And this proves the ... unshackled power, unfortunately, that those who have weaponized too many of our agencies, what they are able to do."
Palin said that although Trump has always had the Democrats, the media, and the Republicans-in-Name-Only targeting him, "we, the people," and the silent majority have backed him up.
"He is just a representative of what it is that we stand strong on. And those are pretty simple planks and a pretty sound platform that the Republican Party happens to espouse," she emphasized. "That is Trump. That's our leader."
Her comments arrive hours after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with 30 counts of business fraud, making him the first former president to be indicted while making another run for the White House.
"The Democrats have lied, cheated, and stolen in their obsession with trying to 'Get Trump,' but now they've done the unthinkable," Trump wrote. "Indicting a completely innocent person."
"I believe this Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden," he added.
