Sarah Palin: immigrants ‘seduced’ with ‘teddy bears and soccer balls’

Sarah Palin didn’t get the reaction she wanted during her speech promoting Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy to the Milwaukee County Republican Party on Friday night.

“What the heck are you thinking, candidates? What the heck are you thinking when you’re actually asking for more immigrants — even illegal immigrants, welcoming them in,” Palin said of Trump’s opponents. “Even inducing and seducing them with gift baskets: ‘Come on over the border and here’s a gift basket of teddy bears and soccer balls.”

Footage of Palin’s appearance showed audience members looking at her with bemused expressions ...
(Palin) had received no applause eight minutes into her speech, though there were “some eye rolls and phone checking.”

She even looked loopier than usual, like she forgot to fix her hair and makeup.
