Sarah Palin Took True Blood’s ‘Republic*nt’ Reference Personally
Unlike Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sarah Palin was not referenced by name during Sunday’s episode of True Blood, which saw two vampire characters infiltrating a Republican gala. But that didn’t stop her from weighing in on the show, which notably used the term “Republicunt” to describe a certain type of conservative woman.
In a curiously non-exclusive interview with Breitbart, Palin revealed that the show had actually asked her to make a cameo in the past, but she declined:
“The brilliant minds of ‘True Blood’ were brazen enough to ask me to do a cameo on their show, apparently so they could insult a conservative woman in person instead of just all conservative women in general. Their offer wasn’t presented in any negative way, perhaps to benefit from a surprise factor after the guest appearance. I turned them down anyway.
To producers who throw these deceitfully ‘flattering’ bones that sound fun on the surface, is it really any wonder I don’t accept your offers to participate in your shows? Nice try HBO. I’d put any mama grizzly in America against a vampire any day; for only one of them actually exists. The left wants to talk about a ‘war on women’? Keep engaging in your misogynist attacks on women you disagree with and we’ll see who wins your self-inflicted war in the court of decent public opinion.”
Meanwhile, Cruz used his Facebook page to register his own feelings about being targeted by the HBO drama. “I’m sorry to have lost the vampire vote,” he wrote, “but am astonished (and amused) that HBO is suggesting that hard-core leftists are blood-sucking fiends….”
