Sarah Palin Tests Positive For COVID-19 (Again)

Sarah Palin, former half-term governor of Alaska, was all set to begin her defamation lawsuit against The New York Times today. That is, until she tested positive for the coronavirus. Again.

Via Reuters:

Jury selection and opening statements had been expected to begin on Monday, but were pushed back 10 days to Feb. 3 after test results for the 57-year-old Palin became known. Palin had been expected to testify in person as soon as Tuesday.

“She is of course unvaccinated,” U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan said at a hearing. “Since she has apparently tested positive three times, I’m going to assume that she’s positive.”

I won’t do it, and they better not touch my kids either.” Palin also tested positive for COVID last March as well. Even after that, she’s continued to urge people to refuse getting their shot. Palin’s lawsuit accuses The New York Times of “damaging her reputation” in a June 2017 editorial linking her to a 2011 mass shooting in Arizona that killed six people and wounded U.S. Representative Gabby Giffords. The editorial pointed to a map circulated by Palin’s political action committee putting 20 Democrats – including Giffords – under “stylized cross hairs.” The Times quickly corrected the editorial saying it wrongly stated that political rhetoric and the 2011 shooting were linked.
