Chuck Heath, Jr., brother of Gov. Sarah Palin, has provided the statement below to Big Government and Big Journalism:
The McGinniss book is filled with one lie after another. The final straw
for me was when I learned that he used me as a source for his lies
about my sister and brother-in-law’s marriage. He included in his book
comments falsely attributed to me by one of his unnamed sources. Neither
McGinniss nor Crown/Random House reached out to me to verify, or even
comment on, this alleged hearsay from an unnamed source. They just ran
with it, and as a consequence, the tabloids picked it up and used it to
fuel false rumors about my sister getting a divorce. All of this is a
total lie, and I’m sick of seeing my sister, her family, and our
extended family being trashed by smear-merchants like Joe McGinniss and
his publisher.
