While drumming up support for Donald Trump, Sarah Palin was forced to face the growing controversy involving his son. Track Palin, the 26-year old son of Palin and an Iraq veteran was arrested recently for domestic violence.
The former governor of Alaska said his son's condition stemmed from the effects of PTSD. She then blamed Barack Obama, the U.S. president for not giving enough medical and mental care to war veterans.
Based on documents provided by the police, the younger Track was arrested Monday night after an altercation with his girlfriend that occurred in his parent's home at Wasilla, Alaska. The report said that he beat his girlfriend and threatened to commit suicide. He was charged on the same day that his mother was declaring her support for the candidacy of Trump.
The incident may have probably caused Palin to cancel her appearance at a morning event related to her Trump endorsement. It appears that her son's arrest the night before has overshadowed the euphoria connected to her announcement.
To mitigate her son's actions, Palin said her son's behavior is caused by post-traumatic-distress-order and immediately turned the focus on President Obama, by saying that he is 'disrespectful' in treating war veterans.
"I guess it's kind of the elephant in the room - because my own family, going through what we're going through today with my son, a combat vet having served in a Stryker brigade, fighting for you all, America, in the war zone. But my son, like so many others, they come back a bit different. They come back hardened," Palin lamented.
She added that war veterans returning home from the battlefield are also bringing their own battles within by coming back entirely different when they initially left their country. It is very important, she added, for the country to have a commander-in-chief that will show them respect.
