Sarah Palin Arrives in Chaotic Haiti

MISSION

Working with religious relief organization.

In the midst of Haiti’s post-election tumult—two presidential candidates have rejected a recount of the contentious vote, threatening renewed chaos—former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin arrived on Saturday as part of a humanitarian mission. Palin traveled with Rev. Franklin Graham of Samaritan’s Purse, an organization dedicated to building temporary housing for the victims this year’s massive earthquake.

The rest of her itinerary is being kept under wraps for security reasons.
