Nicolle Wallace Reveals the ‘Most Challenging’ Thing About Working for Sarah Palin

The View host Nicolle Wallace will never be able to escape Sarah Palin. For the second time this week, she had to weigh in on her former boss, this time after Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen asked Wallace what the “most challenging” part of her job as communication director for John McCain’s failed 2008 bid for president was.

“It was when she started to go rogue, for real,” Wallace said, quoting the title of Palin’s campaign memoir. “You know, it was when she sort of didn’t care what, like, McCain thought anymore.”

“So that got a little dicey,” Wallace said, before admitting that it was “totally legit” for Palin to be mad at her after she set up interviews like the one with Katie Couric in which the vice presidential candidate could not come up with the names of any news publications she read. “I was making decisions about who should interview her, the interviews didn’t go well, so that was totally fair game for her to talk about.”

Wallace said she hasn’t talked to Palin since the morning after Election Day 2008, but people have been asking her for dirt on the politician-turned-reality star ever since.
