Sarah Palin has criticized the critically acclaimed HBO political drama ‘Game Change,’ which was directed by Jay Roach and premiered on the cable network last night, Deadline is reporting. The former Alaskan governor, who ran on the Republican presidential ticket with John McCain in 2008, sent an email to ABC, saying the movie is full of Hollywood lies. “I believe my family has the right priorities and knows what really matters….Being in the good graces of Hollywood’s ‘Team Obama’ isn’t top of my list,” she said.
Palin also told Fox News that she isn’t going to watch ‘Game Change,’ which is based on the book of the same name by journalists John Heilemann and Mark Halperin. She added that McCain also isn’t going to watch the film, which stars Julianne Moore as herself, Woody Harrelson as Steve Schmidt and Ed Harris as the former presidential candidate. “They’re going to do what they can to drum up their money and their machine, and their machine happens to be a very pro-leftist, pro-Barack Obama machine,” Palin added.
“Those campaign staffers essentially threw John McCain under the bus,” Palin also said. “I think that they should feel some shame, and they should feel some embarrassment, because the movie is based on a false narrative, as you can see in the trailer.”
