Sarah Palin Saturday slammed liberal and feminist websites that mocked the wife of Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence for running a small business on the Internet that sells "towel charms."
"Absolutely amazes me that the liberal mindset allows mocking the American work ethic," the former Alaska governor said on
Facebook. "Belittling an entrepreneurial spirit got us into the mess we're in with dependency on a failed, bankrupt government.
"Big-government libs love the cycle of dependency because with it comes control of those who are dependent," Palin said.
Jezebel and other sites have bashed Karen Pence's company,
That's My Towel Charm Inc., which sells items that be placed on towels to prevent them from being lost or taken by someone else.
"Karen Pence, Your Future Second Lady, Sells the Least Useful Item in Existence," screamed the headline on a July 15 report on
Jezebel.
The report quotes from Pence's website, which was taken down shortly after her husband was named Donald Trump's running mate:
"I have had so many times where I was swimming at a friend’s beach house, pool, or lake house, using their matching beautiful beach towels.
"Lo and behold, I would go in the water for a dip or up to the house for a beverage, and when I came back to my towel, it was gone!" the statement said. "Someone else had grabbed my towel unknowingly … because all of the towels looked the same."
But the Jezebel report slammed Karen Pence's product, which cost $6.25 each.
"The Towel Charm anticipates a number of problems that do not exist, or problems so insignificant that they might as well not exist."
However, Palin praised Pence's entrepreneurial fortitude.
"Good for those who do what it takes to independently make a living," the 2008 vice presidential candidate said. "Leftists condemning women entrepreneurs owning their own businesses and parents holding down more than one job to provide for family?
"It's shameful, Democrats."
