‘It’s a hallmark of corruption’: Palin slams Trump’s Carrier deal

She’s gone rogue again.

Sarah Palin is blasting Donald Trump’s deal with Carrier to keep nearly 1,000 jobs from going to Mexico as a case of “crony capitalism.”

The former Republican vice presidential candidate — and early supporter of Trump — said in an opinion article on the website “Young Conservatives” that the deal is “political intrusion using a stick or carrot to bribe or force one individual business to do what politicians insist.”

“When government steps in arbitrarily with individual subsidies, favoring one business over others, it sets inconsistent, unfair, illogical precedent,” she writes.

Worse, Palin says, “It’s a hallmark of corruption. And socialism.”

But she has a good word for the workers who’ll be keeping their jobs. “I am ecstatic for Carrier employees! Their bosses just decided to keep shop onshore. What a relief for hundreds of workers. Merry Christmas Indiana!” she writes.

Earlier this week, Palin’s name was floated for a possible Cabinet job in the Trump administration.
