Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin took at shot today on social media at her states GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski.
“Hey @LisaMurkowski – I can see 2022 from my house…” Palin tweeted at the senator, whose term ends in 2023.
Hey @LisaMurkowski – I can see 2022 from my house…

Palin’s remark used a years-old misquote seized on by comedian Tina Fey in her portrayal of Palin on a 2013 “Saturday Night Live” sketch in which Fey, as Palin, quipped, “I can see Russia from my house.”
Murkowski is the only Republican senator who plans to vote against Kavanaugh’s confirmation.
Palin, however, has remained quiet about her son, Track Palin, who found out Wednesday he will spend a year in custody after his recent domestic violence arrest violated an agreement stemming from a previous case.
Anchorage District Court Judge David Wallace ruled that the 29-year-old has been disqualified from participating in a therapeutic program for veterans in the wake of his September arrest.
Palin was arrested in Wasilla, Alaska, on Friday, September 28, after state troopers were called to his home just after 10:30 p.m. in response to a report of a disturbance. The AP obtained court documents which allege that Track told a female acquaintance she could not leave his house before taking away her phone and hitting her in the head.
Palin was charged with domestic violence, interfering with a report of domestic violence, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. He appeared in court in Palmer, Alaska, on Saturday, September 29, and pleaded “not guilty, for sure” to the four misdemeanors.
He was previously arrested on domestic violence charges in December 2017 after he was accused of breaking into his parents’ home and assaulting his father, Todd Palin. He pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal trespassing in June as part of a plea deal.
Sarah Palin was the GOP vice presidential nominee in 2008, and served only two years of her four year term as Alaska governor.
