Sarah Palin tells defamation trial jury that Times editorial 'kicked the oomph' out of her

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin testified Monday at a defamation trial that an editorial about gun control in The New York Times in 2017 was devastating and “kicked the oomph” out of her. The former Republican candidate for vice president answered questions in Manhattan federal court at a trial of her libel claims against the newspaper. “This was the gamechanger,” Palin said of the effect on her life after the newspaper in June 2017 published an editorial about gun control.
