As Twitchy told you earlier, Sarah Palin had been scheduled to speak at a Trump event at The Villages in Florida. The event was canceled, reportedly so Palin could fly home to Alaska to be with her husband Todd following his serious snowmobiling accident.
But Palin just spoke at a Trump event in Tampa:

Unexpectedly, Sarah Palin is here in Tampa ahead of Trump town hall. That's after she cancelled another event. pic.twitter.com/KSuHOW4UY5

Palin’s presence at this event is raising questions for a lot of people:

I thought Palin canceled the Villages event because of her husband. Why is she at other events in Florida right now?

@ByronYork saw report she was headed home as husband was injured?

Wait. I thought she canceled the other event to be with her injured husband https://t.co/Wo64ZsgorF

@ByronYork I thought she had to cancel because of her husband's accident

@ByronYork I thought her husband was injured and she left Florida?

Perhaps Todd Palin’s condition isn’t as critical as was initially reported?
I guess Todd Palin is ok

Let’s hope that’s the case.
Meanwhile:
@sarahmccammon I saw an announcement that she would stop at this event; apparently it fit in with airline skeds out of Tampa. @CHueyBurnsRCP

More from NBC News:
In a brief unplanned appearance before Trump’s afternoon event in Tampa, Palin referenced the “little wreck” and thanked audience members for their prayers.
The former Alaska governor stopped by the Trump town hall in Tampa but canceled her other planned appearances with the GOP frontrunner, whom she endorsed earlier this year. She has been in contact with medical personnel and will be traveling back to Alaska today, the source said.

Transcript via RedState:
Palin: It’s good to be here, thawing out, from Alaska. Literally, I’m thawing out. Before getting on a flight up here, I was ice fishing on my frozen lake. And my husband was out snowmachining, and thank you guys for your prayers for my husband who is recovering right now in ICU after a little wreck on a snowmachine, so thank you. Big wreck. Thank you. But, uh, you know, when real life happens, right? When somebody is sick in your family, there’s an accident that happens, all these struggles… all these real life issues that happen, it really puts things in perspective, doesn’t it? And doesn’t it make you appreciate your time? Time is our most valuable resource. And it makes me appreciate the time that we have to spend in doing something so worthy, and that’s to get Donald J. Trump elected President. And what we don’t have time for is all that petty, punk ass little thuggery stuff that’s been going on with these quote-unquote protesters who are doing nothing but wasting your time.
Oh, and there’s this:
