Bristol Palin slams White House invite for Ahmed Mohamed
Bristol Palin is slamming President Obama for inviting to the White House a 14-year-old student arrested after bringing a homemade clock to school, saying the move “encourages more racial strife.”
{mosads}Ahmed Mohamed, a Muslim student living in Irving, Texas, was suspended from school after teachers at his high school mistook his clock for a bomb. No charges were filed against the ninth-grader.
“This is the kind of stuff Obama needs to STAY out of,” Palin, the 24-year-old daughter of former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, wrote in a Thursday blog post the day after Obama invited Mohamed to the White House via a tweet.
“This encourages more racial strife that is already going on with the ‘Black Lives Matter’ crowd and encourages victimhood,” wrote Palin, a “Dancing With the Stars” alum.
“The police made a mistake, clearly,” wrote Palin, adding, “But why put more people against them? Why egg it on?”
“Childish games like this from our president have divided our country … even more today than when he was elected.”
