Gov. Sarah Palin responded to a question about sexual assault earlier this week by saying that she’d never experienced it likely because “a whole lot of people know I’m probably packing,” according to Breitbart.
“It’s not a partisan issue, so when we see this happening today, I think that it leads to a lot of questions about what standards are going to be applied to whom,” she said.
MSNBC caught Palin for an interview after she met with Kentucky Senator Rand Paul.
She continued:
“I don’t mean to be lighthearted because this is a serious issue. It really stinks for women in the workplace that for too long, men have thought they can get away with kind of being that old-school thinking that it’s OK to belittle and harass women in general. Though the floodgates are really open right now, that could lead to a lot of false accusations that really harm an innocent person.”
