The View’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck introduced Republican U.S. Vice-Presidential candidate Alaska Governor Sarah Palin during a campaign rally at the Silver Spurs Arena in Florida on Sunday. The conservative talk show host also took the time to defend Palin’s controversial $150,000 wardrobe allowance from the Republican National Committee.

“Let me tell you, this is deliberately sexist! I have a hard time not being sassy, I just can’t help it,” Elisabeth boomed.

“I’m most impressed by her accessories, you know, like the flag pin she wears in honor of her son and our military — men and women — fighting abroad. And they fight for our every right to be here today.”
