The satirical website The Daily Currant has struck again, this time convincing a rabid horde of Sarah Palin-haters on Twitter that she made a bunch of embarrassing gaffes while criticizing President Obama’s executive amnesty immigration plan.
For example, here is Hollywood’s Marge Helgenberger linking to the fake story:
Sarah Palin: Send Immigrants ‘Back Across Ocean’ to Mexico – The Daily Currant http://t.co/1ctlgTWSG8 Is this for real?!
— Marg Helgenberger (@MargHelgen) November 23, 2014
An excerpt from the Currant:
“If I were Obama I’d put all 11 million of these folks on boats and send them back to Mexico,” she opined. “The liberal media says it’s impossible to deport that many people. But I say we can do it if we have enough ships.
“Let’s commandeer all the cruise ships, all the fishing vessels and all the yachts those fat cat Obama donors own. And then let’s pack ‘em full of illegals and send these people on a one-way cruise to Mexico City.
So the very people who think Palin is an idiot can’t figure out that this statment isn’t true? Wonderful.
But Helgenberger wasn’t alone in her confusion. Here are some of the funnier tweets from others who consider themselves smarter than the former Alaska governor for your reading pleasure:

It looks like Michael deleted his tweet. Sorry, pal … it’s in our system!

Sorry. You thinking that Palin could have said this makes you just as misguided as the people who fell for it.
