Bristol Palin, daughter of former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, said Thursday that Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton "fears my mom's power," referring to a newly released Clinton email that mentioned her mother's name, reported the Huffington Post.
In the 2011 email from then Secretary of State Clinton to her former chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, Clinton asked why the State Department had decided to alter the wording on U.S. passports, changing "mother" and "father" to the more gender-neutral language of "parent one" and "parent two."
"Who made the decision that State will not use the terms 'mother and father' and instead substitute 'parent one and two'?" Clinton asked in the email. "I'm not defending that decision, which I disagree w and knew nothing about, in front of this Congress. I could live w letting people in nontraditional families choose another descriptor so long as we retained the presumption of mother and father. We need to address this today or we will be facing a huge Fox-generated media storm led by [Sarah] Palin et al."
Bristol caught wind of Clinton's email and took to her blog Thursday to tell the world how much the former secretary of state feared her mother's influence.
"The liberals like Hillary Clinton would have you believe all sorts of lies about my mother. But, behind closed doors, we find out all sorts of truths, including the fact that Hillary fears my mom's power," Bristol wrote in her blog on the Patheos website. "Maybe that's because she knows deep down that millions of Americans know that what my mom talks about in public is right and what Hillary pretends to stand for is wrong."
She continued: "Hillary Clinton, the great tolerant one with rainbow Twitter avatars granting open-mindedness to any family formation under the sun, seems a bit more traditional in private than she does in public. One might call it hypocritical if it didn't come across as so focused on self-preservation instead of any actual policy stance. But this is just more of the same of what we've come to expect from Hillary Clinton. Does she actually believe anything or is she just seeking power and trying to avoid embarrassment?"
