Sarah Palin on harsh Jan. 6 sentences: ‘Makes the good guy think, what’s the use in being a good guy?’

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called the Jan. 6 sentences beyond “disheartening” and noted that with a two-tier justice system, many think there is no point in being a good guy any longer.

Palin slammed the harsh over-the-top Jan. 6 sentences being handed down on Newsmax Tuesday with host Eric Bolling. She said they are a prime example of a political two-tier justice system.

Governor, blown away by these sentences. 15, 17, and 18 years for nonviolent crimes,” Bolling stated, referring to the lengthy prison sentences handed down to Jan. 6 defendants Zachary Rehl, Joe Biggs, and Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes. “What do you say to all these lefties?”

“It’s so disheartening, the examples that you’ve given, Eric. It makes the populace lose a lot of faith in our government and that’s an understatement. Unfortunately, what this leads to, when we recognize the examples that you just gave, the two-tier different justice systems that apply according to politics, you know it makes the good guy think what’s the use in being a good guy,” Palin asserted.

“We’re gonna be punished, you know, we’re picked on, is what we are under this system. But we can’t feel helpless and hopeless,” she urged.

Palin contended that conservatives “have to remember that we have three equal branches of government, right? And Congress has a lot to do with what’s going on in the judiciary.”

“Congress can’t keep sitting back, especially Republicans in the majority in some of these areas. Eric, they can’t sit back and just let all of this happen because it is dismantling our traditional judicial system,” the former governor warned.

Palin also recently made another appearance on Bolling’s show, raising the specter of civil war over the persecution of former President Trump. She was speaking as Trump surrendered at a jail in Fulton County, Georgia.

Bolling asked Palin once again about “the two-tiered justice system,” and whether she has “concern for the country.”

“We’ve talked about the two-tiered justice system, but when you see it happening, when you see the former president being fingerprinted, having to show up, turn himself in, you see the mug shots of the other, I don’t know, seven or eight who’ve turned himself in already… Do you have concern for the country, as I do?” Bolling asked her.

“Yeah, absolutely,” she responded. “I mean, I think those who are conducting this travesty and creating this two-tier system of justice, I want to ask them: What the heck? Do you want us to be in civil war? Because that’s what’s going to happen.”

Then Palin stepped right up to the line and said enough is enough.

“We’re not going to keep putting up with this. And Eric, I like that you suggested that we need to get angry,” Palin declared. “We do need to rise up and take our country back.”

“Now, I would, um, I would say the RNC, though, that’s what’s lacking when it comes to collective anger that can be healthy and it can be useful. Where is the RNC? They hold the purse strings to the party. They hold the funds that could be helping out in this situation. They have the platform. And yet they’re too timid, and a bunch of frickin’ RINOs running the thing,” she said ripping Republicans.

“So, the RNC, they better get their stuff together, or I have to ask them, too: What do they want as an outcome of this? Civil war?” Palin concluded.
