“Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) was so unsettled after a 2010 meeting with then-Fox News executive Roger Ailes that she told staff members she would not meet with him alone again,” USA Today reports.
Said Palin: “I’m never meeting with him alone again.”
“The revelation about the meeting between Palin and Ailes comes from an excerpt from Jeremy Peters’ forthcoming book, Insurgency: How Republicans Lost Their Party and Got Everything They Ever Wanted.”
