So she probably wasn’t expecting to be the catalyst of a $25,000 election campaign boost for her Democrat opponent Hillary Clinton. How? By not choosing her props carefully enough.
During a speech at the Iowa Freedom Summit last week, she whipped out a Ready for Hillary PAC magnet.
“I’m ready for Hillary, are you? Are you coming?” she told her largely Republican audience.
“Hey Iowa, can anyone stop Hillary? To borrow a phrase, ‘Yes we can!’ And it starts here and it starts now.”
Luckily for the Ready for Hillary campaign, they were. And tweeted an image of the event along with a link to a fundraising email, asking donors to give $20.16 to own a car magnet just like Palin’s:
The campaign’s HQ have since confirmed the following: “Sarah Palin inadvertently gave herself a new title — Co-Chair of Ready for Hillary’s National Finance Council!
“Yesterday, we sent an email to our supporters telling you how Sarah Palin held up a Ready for Hillary car magnet during a recent speech.
“Here’s the kicker — by raising $25,000, Sarah officially qualifies as a Co-Chair of our National Finance Council.
