Prominent Democratic strategist came out in defense of Sarah Palin

A prominent Democratic strategist came out in defense of Sarah Palin on Friday, blasting a journalist who moved next door to the former Republican vice presidential candidate as having “crossed the line.”

Mo Elleithee, a lead spokesman for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, argued in POLITICO’s Arena that Palin and her family deserved privacy in their home. Palin announced on her Facebook page earlier this week that investigative reporter Joe McGinniss, who is writing a book on Palin, is renting out a home next door to her Wasilla, Alaska, home.

“I am no Sarah Palin fan. But on this, she is absolutely right,” Elleithee said in POLITICO’s Arena. “No public official should have to worry about a voyeuristic journalist peering into their backyard and kitchen window every day.”

Palin took several shots at McGuinniss on Fox News host Glenn Beck’s radio show earlier this week, saying the journalist’s move up north has made her nervous about her children’s privacy.

“Do your thing,” she said to McGuinniss on Beck’s show. “But keep your distance and you better leave my kids alone.”
