Sarah Palin: President Trump Should 'Call for the Unshackling of the Political Bands Tying Us to the UN'

"On Thursday's Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM, former Alaska Governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin talked with Breitbart London Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam about the return of national sovereignty that began with Brexit and might lead to a United States withdrawal from the United Nations in the wake of its anti-Israel vote.

'I think many of us have called for America to really step up and consider what it is that we are funding and supporting via the UN...'

'Unfortunately, the UN's presence even, in the U.S. – all that has done is said to people like John Kerry and his desire to essentially cave to other countries, he essentially is inviting other countries to exercise veto power over us, over U.S. national security measures,' Palin continued on a more serious note.

'He said during a debate some years ago, he said that our security measures must pass a 'global test.' So the presence of the UN here, unfortunately, just creates more fertile ground for leftist globalists like John Kerry to grow in their desire to make the U.S. continue to fund the lion's share of this globalist circus – where bad players, including dictators, they're going to keep griping, and complaining, and whining, and attacking us for not bending over backwards enough for their liking. Unfortunately, that's what the UN presence here has been doing,' she said.

'What does it say about the United States in 2016, at the tail end of 2016, that you have an administration not just willing to stab one of its most important global allies, Israel, in the front, but is being led, supposedly – listen, I'm going by what they're saying; they said they didn't lead, so they have to have been led – by countries like Venezuela?' Kassam asked.

'That's a great point,' Palin replied. 'I don't think people have been understanding that – that either our leaders, unfortunately, are caught lying in regards to orchestrating this non-supportive measure – to say the least – of Israel, or yeah, we've been led by bad characters that certainly do not have America's nor Israel's interests at heart.'...

Palin said there were two ways to look at how the incoming Trump administration should handle the United Nations.

'One is, I called for our next president, Donald Trump, to call for the unshackling of the political bands tying us to the UN,' she said. 'By exiting the UN, where injustice is actually rewarded, we then will be able to uphold America's reputation as the leader, and as the kind and compassionate and generous nation that we are – as the nation sharing values that, when emulated by any other nation, can bring justice and equal rights to any other nation.'...

'Our government, our bureaucrats and our elected leaders, work for us,' she stressed. 'We are the ones that need to call for this, that the UN shackles be next on the chopping block.'..."
