Sarah Palin is trying to make money off the Israel Prime Minister’s controversial presence in Congress, which many consider a slap in Obama’s face.
Despite Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu’s words in his address to Congress acknowledging all the public and private support he and Israel continuously receive from Barack Obama, conservatives are using the event to claim the President doesn’t support the  Jewish-majority state.
At issue this week is the fact that President Obama is refusing to meet with Netanyahu while he is in Washington. The Israeli Prime Minister came at the invitation of Speaker John Boehner, without any coordination with the White House, an error so large historian Elizabeth Cobbs Hoffman says it is not only a violation of the Logan Act, making it a felony, but “unconstitutional.”
Enter maverick Sarah Palin.
The former Mayor of Wasilla, former and half-term Governor of Alaska turned GOP Vice Presidential nominee and reality TV star, is now selling tee shirts to fundraise for her flailing political action committee.
This of course is the perfect scenario for Palin. A direct attack on President Obama and faux support for Israel, a cause of the religious right. Never mind her claims to support the Constitution, which Netanyahu’s speech, or at least his invitation, violates.
The tee shirts are selling for a donation of $35, $50, or $100.
And of course with your donation to SarahPAC, Palin gets to add your email, phone number, and home address to her database.
To drum up support for the tees, Palin posted about Netanyahu’s speech on Facebook three times Tuesday morning, before posting her tee shirt offer.
If there’s one thing she’s good at, it’s marketing.
