Sarah Palin issues response to Azealia Banks’ past comments about gang-rape.
Former Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin has responded to rapper/singer Azealia Banks, in an open letter uploaded to Facebook.
In her response, Palin criticized Banks, who she referred to as “female rapper” and “little darling,” for letting a fake news story lead her to the “bizarre, violent rants” made earlier this week. Later in the letter, the politician suggests that the two work together to fight racism and empower women.
“In this life, you’re blessed to have been given an influential platform,” Sarah Palin wrote in her Facebook post. “So have I. Why don’t we strengthen both our platforms and work together on something worthwhile – like condemning racism, along with empowering young women to defend themselves against a most misogynist, degrading, devastating assault perpetrated by evil men – rape.”
Banks issued a response of her own yesterday (April 5), as well. In her letter addressed to Palin, she attributed her past comments to her “really crass, New-York-City sense of humor,” and also offered an apology to Palin.
