Track Palin Arrested For Beating His Girlfriend After She Called His Mother A “Media Whore”

The elder son of former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting a woman and carrying a gun while intoxicated, police in the family’s Alaska hometown said on Tuesday. The arrest came just hours before Palin, the politician-turned-reality TV star, endorsed Donald Trump, the reality television star-turned-politician, in his bid for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. Track Palin, 26, was arrested late on Monday night after authorities responded to a domestic disturbance call at a home in Wasilla, Alaska, police said in a statement.

Palin family attorney John Tiemessen told the media that “Track simply reacted as any loving son wanting to protect his mother would react. The fact that he was a bit tipsy and happened to have a firearm on him has nothing to do with the fact that he was provoked by his girlfriend of one year.” Asked in what way Palin was provoked, Tiemessen added that “a rude and disrespectful term was used to refer to Mrs. Palin by her son’s girlfriend, which is why Track Palin reacted by striking her in the area of her left eye, which was a completely understandable reaction.”

“Anyone out there who loves their mother would have done the same thing. The only reason why this is labeled as a high-profile case, however, is because the parties involved are related to a prominent politician. Other than that, this is no different than what goes on all across America daily,” the attorney said.

Tiemessen also read a statement prepared by Track Palin in his holding cell: “To whom it may concern, I wish it to be known that what they say is true. I also want to say that I have no regrets about the way I acted, or better to say, reacted, and I would do it all over again. Involving someone’s family in a personal argument should never be done, and I wish that all the children in the world would react the same way I did if someone were to insult their parents. My mother is not perfect, but she is my mother and I am her protector. And to anybody out there who also thinks my mother is a media whore, you can’t see it right now, but I am giving you the finger, and as soon as I get out of here, I’m coming after you.”

Palin’s girlfriend, who requested anonymity, stated that she was “right to call Sarah Palin an attention-grabbing media whore.” She added, “I would have said it even if I knew he’d kill me. The woman is a degenerate who gave birth to degenerate children, one of whom I happened to end up falling in love with. Every time we were at Track’s house, his mother would come round with the rest of their family and the other children would all have cameras and would pretend to be interviewing her. She would pretend to rehearse her speeches, even though she kept flirting with the cameras, which was a bit sick, since they were in the hands of her own children. And the worst part was, everybody was so normal about it, as if it were the most common thing in the world. That should have been an alarm for me right there, but people are willing to go over a lot when they’re in love. She is a manipulator, and she is manipulating the American public. The woman should clearly be institutionalized, along with the rest of her family.”
