Palin: Obama believes same thing as anti-gay beauty queen

Donald Trump isn’t her only supporter. According to Sarah Palin, so is President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Carrie Prejean, the Miss California beauty queen who found herself embroiled in a national scandal after making remarks critical of same sex marriage, received an unlikely endorsement Wednesday night. Her defender? Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

In a statement, Palin said Prejean had been unfairly maligned by “the liberal onslaught of malicious attacks.”

Prejean found herself in hot water after her remarks, but the water only grew deeper after web sites published photographs of her posing topless. After fighting to retain her California title, Prejean got the endorsement of real estate mogul Donald Trump, who’d been tapped to decide if she should keep her crown. Prejean finished second in the national contest.

Palin said she “can relate as a liberal target myself,” and — not surprisingly– turned the focus on President Barack Obama.

“What I find so remarkable is that these politically-motivated attacks fail to show that what Carrie and I believe is also what President Obama and Secretary Clinton believe — marriage is between a man and a woman,” Palin said.

“I respect Carrie for standing strong and staying true to herself,” Palin continued, “and for not letting those who disagree with her deny her protection under the nation’s First Amendment Rights.”

“Our Constitution protects us all,” she concluded, “not just those who agree with the far left.”
