myfoxphilly - JERSEY CITY, N.J. - Sarah Palin took a moment while talking to the press Wednesday to hand out flowers and say her daughter, Piper, is sorry for pushing a photographer.
Palin may have been referring to some of what was caught bhy MyFoxPhilly.com cameras during the former Alaska governor and vice-presidential running mate's quick "One Nation" tour visit Tuesday to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell.
Piper, 10, could be seen putting her body in front of a reporter trying to interview her mother in one clip captured by Fox 29's Chris O'Connell.
Later, as a large swarm of media surrounded a walking and talking Palin, Piper could be seen lifting into the air microphones held toward her mother.
Then, as the family prepared to climb into an SUV, Piper pushed away another reporter's microphone and said "thank you" to try and stop questions of her mom, who was still answering questions.
Outside the Hyatt Hotel in Jersey City on Wednesday, Palin dodged questions on her possible presidential run and made light of her pizza date with Donald Trump the previous evening. She was headed to the Statue of Liberty with Piper in tow.
And aide tried to wrap things up, saying they had to catch a ferry. But Palin spoke up and said to reporters, "No, Piper apologizes for pushing kinda one of the photographers the other day. She was trying to protect me. So, she's going to give her little flower to somebody."
When Piper turned and seemed to shy away, embarrassed, her mother tried to encourage her to hand them out. But Piper handed them to mom and walked away.
Blog author's comments - I thought Piper Palin was great. I must say she has a lot of her Mother's fight, even though she is only 10 years old.
Also, I do not think what Piper Palin did required an apology to the reporters/photographers.
