Want to know what Sarah Palin thinks?
No matter what’s being discussed, your answer is hopefully ‘no’. Nevertheless, the controversial American politician has shared her thoughts on Ahmed Muhammad, the 14-year old boy who was arrested for building a clock.
While Muhammad, a Muslim, thought his device would impress his teacher – he instead ended up being put under arrested when a member of staff at his school mistook the clock for a bomb.
The incident reeked of ethnic profiling, and Barack Obama had to step in to make things look a little better for America.
Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great.
— President Obama (@POTUS44) September 16, 2015
Palin, presumably desperate to maintain her fading relevance, took a different tack, saying this on her Facebook page: “That’s a clock, and I’m the queen of England.”
She further added to the bullying and harassment Ahmed has endured by calling him “an evidently obstinate-answering student”.
With all due respect, shut up Sarah.
