The theory: Palin was not in fact the mother of her then-infant son, Trig — her daughter Bristol was. The blogger Andrew Sullivan fed into the theory, and it was resurrected in an academic paper by a Kentucky journalism professor in Salon has since thoroughly debunked the Trig Palin conspiracy theory. Now, Hillary Clinton is on the receiving end of her own health-related cover-up conspiracy theory — and Palin is using the story to skewer the media and illustrate what she sees as a double standard for how Democratic and Republican female candidates get covered.
Some background: In December , Clinton was treated for a blood clot on her brain after suffering a concussion. Clinton recovered and was given a clean bill of health, but Karl Rove remained skeptical. And when she reappears, she's wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what's up with that," Rove allegedly said at a conference in Los Angeles.
Trig accompanied Palin for stints on the campaign trail, which prompted scrutiny. Many said she was exploiting her baby for a political end. You're kind of, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't," she told Walters. Todd Palin joined his wife for portions of the Barbara Walters interview. He brought Trig along too.
Todd said that when his wife shared the news that their son would be born with Down syndrome, he knew his family could handle the challenge. And when she told me that our child might have Down syndrome, I asked myself, I just, I said, 'Why not us?
Our family is never one to have that, you know Todd, 45, a former snowmobile champion who worked on the oil fields of Alaska's North Slope, said that Trig will be able to keep up with his family's outdoorsy lifestyle. But he has, but he has just been a blast. Given medical advances and much-improved educational approaches, Trig should grow into a productive member of society. Oh gosh, bring on the grandkids. I can't wait. At age 17, Bristol Palin surprised the nation when her pregnancy was announced in September Bristol gave birth to Tripp Easton Mitchell in December.
Bristol and Tripp's father, year-old Levi Johnston , called off their engagement soon after their son was born. Since then, the relationship between Johnston and Palin has become severely strained, escalating into a full-blown war of words in the media. Johnston accused Palin of being a neglectful and insensitive mother and claimed she called Trig "the retarded baby," among other jabs. Today, 1 April, ex-Alaska governor Sarah Palin confirmed both she and her youngest son have tested positive for covid and urged people to wear masks and prevent the spread of the disease.
Trig is the youngest brother to siblings Track, Bristol, Willow and Piper. Palin kept her pregnancy with Trig secret until the seventh month of carrying him. In her autobiography, Going Rogue, she recalls how , on the day she went into labour, she delivered a speech in Dallas, Texas, and even got on a flight back to her home in Alaska before finally giving birth to her son, Trig, 20 hours after her waters broke.
We all have to rely on the word of Sarah Palin — something about as reliable as a credit default swap. I want to know the truth. Because if I am loony, I deserve the pushback and criticism for suspecting a story that turned out to be true. And because if Palin has lied about this, it's the most staggering, appalling deception in the history of American politics. Skip to header Skip to main content Skip to footer Feature.
