Former Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin left an earnest message of advice for Kamala Harris.
The former Alaska governor has already congratulated Harris on Instagram, urging her to learn from her as well as Geraldine Ferraro, the first female vice presidential nominee who ran alongside Democratic nominee Walter Mondale in 1984. Palin said on Thursday that despite her and Harris' differing political parties, she wanted to reach out because she herself had a great conversation with Ferraro when she was initially chosen to run alongside McCain.
"We were able to kind of bond over this unique experience that she had had, and that I was ready to have," Palin said of her and Ferraro."I wish that more people -- more women -- would have reached out to me at the time because you know, it was a tough job running for that office. But I think Kamala is more... she's in a better position in terms of what to expect than I or Geraldine Ferraro back in the day because again, people have come before her to be able to run.
"And you see the big feminist list of women who've already come out to support her and say, 'Hey media, keep your hands off her when it comes to certain issues that you're gonna attack her for,'" she continued."Nobody did that for me, nobody did that for Geraldine. So she has a bit of a privilege there and we'll see how she handles that.
She later reflected on her own vice presidential run and said she was treated"rough," specifically when it came to her family. At the time, plenty of media attention was given to her having a pregnant teenage daughter -- then-17-year-old"A lot of the coverage of me was quite unfair, and I'm not saying that as a victim or a winer, I'm saying that as fact," she said."I hope that they will treat her fairly, But at the same time, no kid gloves.
