(CNN) Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin insisted Monday that she "never blamed" President Barack Obama for her son's recent arrest on domestic violence charges.

Stumping for Donald Trump last month, Palin alluded to her son's arrest earlier that week and suggested that Obama did not respect and honor military servicemembers returning from duty.

"What my own son is going through, what he is going through coming back, I can relate to other families who feel ramifications of PTSD and some of the woundedness that our soldiers do return with," she said at a Trump rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a day after endorsing Trump. "And it makes me realize, more than ever, it is now or never for the sake of America's finest that we have that commander in chief who will respect them and honor them."

Palin insisted Monday in an interview on NBC's "Today" that she did not say anything "offensive" and was not blaming Obama for her son's arrest, nor the post-traumatic stress she has suggested led to his arrest.
