NEW YORK — GOP firebrand and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin described herself to a Manhattan jury on Wednesday as a single mom leading a quiet life far from the national stage in a snowy mountain town in the Last Frontier.
“Holding down the fort in Wasilla, in Alaska — it’s not supereasy conditions living up there, but I’m used to it, and I don’t complain about it,” Palin testified at her civil defamation trial against The New York Times.
“Single mom now, and my youngest child, he has special needs, so my life revolves around him — his name is Trig — and his schooling and his therapies,” she said.
