Lincoln-Reagan Dinner Photos

Sarah Palin, the ninth governor of Alaska, levied accusations against the press, attacked “fake feminists” and called Texas to “revitalize our identity” during the Lincoln Reagan Dinner, hosted by the Denton County GOP, recently. More than a thousand people attended Saturday’s events, which included a silent auction and a tabling event for local election candidates, as well as a dinner that honored Palin as the night’s keynote speaker. The Denton County Republican Party’s 39th annual event was hosted for the first time at the new Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center. Lt. Gov.

Texas Senator Jane Nelson handled the microphone as the night’s master of ceremonies. In her speech, she berated news reporters for perpetuating “press propaganda.” Addressing the “state of the news media,” she said, “It’s tragic because America’s finest are fighting, and even dying, for those freedoms in the free press.”
