Sarah Palin: My political crush on Marion Marechal-Le Pen (French National Front)

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35097760

"Ms. Palin, writing for the conservative news website Breitbart, described the Frenchwoman as "a clear voice of courage and common sense in a country and continent in need of both".

The young far-right candidate reminded her of Joan of Arc, she said.

The FN failed to win control of any of France's regions in Sunday's elections"

Love that last sentence. I guess an endorsement from Sarah Palin really is a political "kiss of death". Thank God!

Breitbart is not a news site. Well, not actual, factual news. But for fraudulent videos and other fabulist "conservative news", it's true that it's a go-to place.

She praised the younger French politician for being "unapologetically pro-life" and for speaking of "France's 16 centuries of Judeo-Christian history and heritage".

The Tea Party favourite writes of the threat to the West from the so-called Islamic State group and the suspicion by French authorities that some of the Paris attackers - European citizens - travelled to Europe from Syria by posing as refugees.

"Our insane politicians want to import more so-called 'refugees' ... This is why we need to seal the borders," Ms Palin writes.

Ms Palin, a former governor of Alaska and conservative activist, said in September she would like to serve as energy secretary under a potential President Donald Trump.

Anti-immigrant, pro-"family values"; they speak the same language with a different accent.

But hey, she knows who that is. That's an improvement, for her.
