Palin: Rubio, Ayotte "Should Be Held Accountable" And Primaried Over Immigration Bill


JOHN GIBSON, FOX NEWS RADIO HOST: Do you think conservatives should turn their back on Marco Rubio?


SARAH PALIN: I think every politician should be held accountable for breaking their campaign promise. Kelly Ayotte, bless her heart, she said on her website as a candidate that her top immigration priority would be to secure the border. No excuses is her quote, no excuses. And she was absolutely against amnesty and yes, Kelly Ayotte and Marco Rubio and all the others who had said that border security must come first before any talk about immigration reform, they turned their back on the American public, so why should they not be held accountable?


GIBSON: in what way? Do you think they should be denied — voters should deny them the big spots on Republican tickets?


PALIN: I think that they should be challenged. I don’t have a problem with a heated debate and contested primaries where they have to answer to constituents regarding their flip-flopping on such a fundamental position as amnesty for illegal immigrants. I don’t have a problem at all with contested primaries. In fact, competition makes us all better and makes us be held accountable. So I’d like them to be held accountable and have to answer to why it is that they flip-flopped.
