Sarah Palin Comments On Chris Christie's 'Extreme' Physical Appearance, 'Liberal' Pope Francis

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) said New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's physical appearance is an issue only because it's "extreme."

In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, Palin discussed her experience with sexism, saying former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has experienced the same. Palin said Clinton "was mistreated when it came to appearances," dealing with "petty, superficial things that men don't ever seem to hear much about, but a woman candidate will."

When Tapper pointed out that Christie's appearance is regularly scrutinized, Palin argued he's a special case. "[I]t's been extreme, so it's hard for some people not to comment on it," Palin said.

Palin also discussed Pope Francis in her interview with Tapper, voicing concern over his more "liberal" statements. read more
