Sarah Palin (Today)
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin whipped up a social media firestorm on Friday after a tweet praising President Donald Trump included a phrase associated with the Neo-Nazi movement.
"Trump Gives Speech to the People of Poland, Says 14 Words That Leave Americans Stunned," Palin wrote, with a link to a story about the president's recent address in Warsaw. The article itself makes no mention of 14 words used by Trump.

But others doubted that Palin intentionally tweeted out a racist message.
Conservative author Ann Coulter similarly raised some eyebrows earlier this year when she tweeted out the message "14!" Several neo-Nazi affiliated accounts took the message a sign of support, but Coulter later said the tweet was a reference to the days left in Barack Obama’s presidency.
