Wearing Lions gear when it wasn't cool
Analysis | Jake Tapper asked whether Sarah Palin was harassed at Fox News. She didn’t exactly say no.
In a cagey interview on CNN on Thursday, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin declined to give a direct answer when anchor Jake Tapper asked whether she witnessed or experienced sexual harassment when she was a Fox News contributor.
TAPPER: Did you ever witness or experience, God forbid, anything like that at Fox?
PALIN: I wouldn't put up with anything that would be perceived as intimidating or harassing.
TAPPER: But you said you're “former,” so was that part of the reason you left?
PALIN: Um, you can ask them why I'm no longer at Fox. You know, I'm not going to speak for them. My contract wasn't renewed — that is, um, that's the line.
TAPPER: I don't want to be a jerk, but it sounds like you experienced something.
PALIN: Um, I just, you know, it was just time to part ways and get out there in, you know, I guess a more diverse arena to express views and speak for the public, and that's what I've been able to do now.
TAPPER: All right, well, I'm not going to push any farther on that.
