The conservative co-host suggested she didn't enjoy working for Palin during a segment about the former VP's bar brawl scandal.
“The View” co-host Nicolle Wallace explained on Monday how she was struck with fear after she heard Sarah Palin was speaking out for the first time since her family was allegedly involved in a bar brawl.
“I worked for Sarah Palin,” Wallace said. “I have the political staffer version of PTSD, so whenever I hear that she's breaking her silence, my heart stops.”
Whoopi Goldberg led off the “Hot Topic” segment by referring to Palin as a “crazy politician,” and the remark received a rousing applause from the audience.
Wallace went even further to distance herself from her former boss, saying that she has lived through a Palin-family crisis before.
“Sometimes with the Palins, it's exactly what it looks like,” Wallace said. “This was a family night out, it would appear. And one of the kids, one of the sons got into a fight and the family rushed to their defense, which is admirable up to the point when everyone is punching other kids in the face.”
Eyewitnesses at the bar earlier this month pointed to 25-year-old Track Palin as the instigator of the fight, with sister Bristol Palin also allegedly getting involved. Sarah Palin was reportedly present and yelling at people, “Do you know who I am,” although she has since denied doing that.
Wallace isn't buying Palin's claims though.
“She has denied that she screamed out, ‘Do you know who I am?’ which I think they did and I think there inlaid part of the problem for them,” Wallace said.
Nicolle Wallace worked on the 2008 McCain-Palin campaign and served as George W. Bush's communications chief while her was president.

Congratulations, and nifty thread hijack! I hope that you pinged everyone...?
I never watch the show, never have , but I could not put her face to the name.
I did a quick search and I remembered her.
Yes I remember when she had her stuck up elitist mug on the TV , and could not stand her back then
She;s no republican, let alone a conservative so why the media tries to paint her as a conservative just reminds me how much I hate the media
She farts constantly like a Whoopie cushion.
That’s where her nickname, Whoopi, came from.
IOW, she stinks. I don’t know how they stood the smell on the STNG set every time she appeared.
Yep. This is Nicole saying “Do you know who I am????”
No! Nobody cares.
Whoever came up with that “living rent-free in their heads” line was a genius....couldn’t be more accurate.
Congrats, KC. Now, on to your next 9,000 ;-) (No more hiatuses ;)
They stupidly just left out the word, “candidate.”
“...former VP candidate...” is what they should have said.

As you may have heard through some of our pathetic news media outlets (like the one Governor Palin called out just a few weeks ago), there’s been some nasty gossip out there surrounding the personal lives of the Palin family. We haven’t remarked on it here because we have always felt that Governor Palin’s personal life should never be up for speculation (aside from what she shares). It holds no significance to her record as a reformer or to her strong commonsense positions she has championed for these last few years.
These careless members of the news media decided to run with it out of sheer sensationalism without waiting for facts and using known Palin-deranged sources to reference it. As a result, there’s been some expected dissing of the Palins including their son, Track.
To that, I’d simply remind those that Track Palin went overseas to give all he had to protect people and their opinions in this great country, even the ones who go out of their way to embellish details meant to slander his entire family. Of course, that fact alone makes him the better man. As Governor Palin has said, "what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger," and we know that just like similar attacks of the past hurled at the Palins, this one too is only meant to distract and will only strengthen them for truly significant fights down the road for our country.
As for the details, Scott Conroy has a piece up at Real Clear Politics that sets the record straight on the gossip in question which is sure to send all liberals into a rage:
[W]ith The Washington Post, “Good Morning America,” the New York Times and dozens of other media outlets all filing reports on the incident over the last few days, it’s clear that there’s a high level of interest in the events that transpired on that regrettable night in Anchorage.
[...]
According to previously published eyewitness reports, the fracas began when Track Palin, the former governor’s adult son, confronted a former boyfriend of his 20-year-old sister, Willow.
But according to the Palin family’s version of events, the instigator was actually the former boyfriend.
The initial tussle occurred, the source said, after the young man in question “tried to get in” to the Hummer limousine after he’d engaged in some unspecified “questionable behavior.”
Track Palin soon found himself struggling to fend off four men who had “piled on him,” according to the source.
Todd Palin then inserted himself into the brawl, which left the former “First Dude” of Alaska bleeding.
Next, it was Sarah Palin’s turn to leave her own mark on the most talked about rumble in Anchorage since the 1964 earthquake.
On the previous night, she had been in Houston to speak at a fundraiser benefiting the Mighty Oaks Warrior Foundation, which helps wounded veterans. That event apparently was fresh on Palin’s mind when she engaged in the tumult on Saturday night.
According to the source, as her husband and son were trading blows with their adversaries, Palin was yelling (in reference to her son), “Don’t you know who he is? He’s a vet!”
This rendition of her words differs slightly but significantly from a previous report, which had Palin shouting, “Don’t you know who I am?”
Over the years, Sarah Palin has spoken frequently about her son’s U.S. Army service in the Iraq War, and Track currently serves as a counselor, working with veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
“From my understanding, she was in full ‘mama grizzly’ mode defending the kids,” the source said of Sarah Palin’s mindset.
According to the source, Track Palin left the fight nursing four cracked ribs, while his father was bloodied up.
At some point, Bristol Palin became involved in the free-for-all, but the Palin source took issue with a report suggesting she had brandished a “mean right hook,” noting that the eldest Palin daughter is left-handed.
[...]
In an unrelated episode, a 25-year-old man was arrested last Sunday on charges of stalking Bristol Palin after allegedly sending her approximately 1,000 Facebook messages and then appearing in her driveway — an incident the Palin source described as “scary.”
Read the whole thing here.
Yes, having Barry's Palace Guard media tell her flat out to "shut up" with numerous articles and fake "polls" didn't work, so they brought in a fake Republican hitdouchebag to hammer at Palin some more.
Plus, this is how the Left pays off their tools like Nicolle Wallace.
Congrats! Carry on!
Everyone knows who Sarah Palin is. Why would she have to ask a question like that?
Name every vice-presidential candidate of the losing party over the 8 national elections. Then try to name every vice-presidential candidate of the WINNING party over the last 8 national elections.
Only one really bubbles to the top of the lists.
She worked for Sarah Palin....
It’s Not unusual for some people to dislike their superiors or bosses.
She’s just a disgruntled former employee.
Nicole can only dream of reaching the heights of running a state or being on a presidential ticket or being talked about in the national press daily. Not to mention making millions.
Poor Nicole.
where do you find your post count?
One of McCains top consultants in the campaign said a while back that Nicole Wallace was an outright liar when concerning Sarah Palin
It has been on for about 15 years always appealing to the lowest common denominator. Never underestimate the willingness of the American public to grovel in the muck and mire.
Mazel tov! (-:
B’karov etzlech! :)
Or, since we're talking about The View ladies, they could be so stupid they really think Palin was vice president.
