Log Cabin Republicans Endorse Sarah Palin in Alaska House Race
To no one's surprise, the Log Cabin Republicans have endorsed Sarah Palin in the race for Alaska's sole House seat. In a tweet, the conservative organization wrote that "Palin is a trailblazer who paved the way for the America First movement. Her commitment and dedication to Alaska is unparalleled and admirable."
"Palin will protect individual liberties for all Americans!"
Palin lost a special election in Alaska to replace deceased Rep. Don Young (R) and complete his term. Democrat Mary Peltola thumped Palin and Republican Nick Begich III to take the seat. The three will face off again in the general election to represent Alaska in the new term. "Peltola is the first Alaska Native and first woman to serve as Alaska's sole representative. The last time a Democrat held the seat was 49 years ago," reported LGBTQNation.
Palin responded on Twitter to the endorsement, writing in part: "Thank you @LogCabinGOP!" with an American flag emoji. She included a graphic with a longer statement. Neither the tweet nor the statement mentioned that the group was for LGBTQ+ people.
