Politico Editor Who Mocked Palin Over Ukraine Doubles

The former Foreign Policy editor
who dismissed former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's warnings about Ukraine
during the 2008 campaign still refuses to give Palin credit for her prescience
and not engaging in the groupthink that has plagued the mainstream media and
the chattering elite.
As Breitbart News reported, Blake
Hounshell, who was then editor of Foreign Policy magazine and now edits Politico magazine, wrote in 2008 that
Palin's remarks that Russia's Vladimir Putin may invade Ukraine if Barack Obama
were elected president were "strange" and depicted an "extremely
far-fetched scenario."
Palin took to Facebook on Friday,
linked to the Breitbart News piece, and then simply wrote, "Yes, I could
see this one from Alaska.
I'm usually not one to Told-Ya-So, but I did, despite my accurate prediction
being derided as 'an extremely far-fetched scenario' by the 'high-brow' Foreign
Policy magazine."
However, Hounshell doubled down,
dismissing Palin for calling him a "dummy," before sarcastically writing,
"Yes, Twitter, Sarah Palin totally called this exact Ukraine scenario 6
years ago."
Hounshell then said that he was
getting heat on Twitter and asked a BuzzFeed reporter where she got the
strength to deal with barbs.
Politico even wrote about the editor
who derided Palin (Hounshell), but conveniently omitted any reference to the
fact that he now edits their magazine.
