Sarah Palin denies then seems to confirm that Trumpism is a cult

The 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee’s tongue was tied as she tried to defend the ex-president’s supporters

The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin courted controversy when she denied that supporters of Donald Trump behaved like cult members.

Palin’s attempt to deny that Trump has a cultlike following, however, prompted predictable pushback on social media by those who thought her attempt to define a cult actually precisely described Trump’s enthusiastic fan base.
