Sarah Palin, former governor of Alaska and vice presidential candidate, took to Facebook to issue a strongly worded response to rapper Azealia Banks, saying the musician’s call for her to be gang raped was simply a show of her low IQ.
She also indicated she’s taking legal action against the rapper, Time reported.
“I’ve had enough of the unanswered threats and attacks against my family and me,” she said, in an interview with People magaZine. “So, for the first time, I’m going to enjoy the only retribution some protected ‘celebrities’ seem to understand – I’m suing Azealia Banks and can’t wait to share my winnings with others who have gone defenseless against lies and dangerous attacks far too long.”
Her Facebook post didn’t indicate a lawsuit, but was condemning, just the same.
“Hey Female Rapper – listen up, little darling,” Palin wrote. “No one has any idea what you’re wigging out about in these bizarre, violent rants against me, but you’re obviously not exercising enough intelligence to acknowledge you’ve been sucked into believing some fake interview in which I supposedly offered comments representing the antithesis of my truth.”
Palin’s comments came after Banks took to Twitter to slam the former governor over what turned out to be a satirical article. The fake quotes attributed to Palin in the hoax story painted her as saying blacks “liked” slavery.
On that, Banks tweeted, WND previously reported: “[Palin] needs to have her hair saved off to a buzz cut, get headf–d by a big, veiny, ashy, black d– then be locked in a cupboard.”
