Palin acknowledges daughter’s marriage

ANCHORAGE, Alaska

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is acknowledging the marriage of her 25-year-old daughter, Bristol, to Medal of Honor winner Dakota Meyer.

The 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate posted a short message Thursday on Facebook, noting the pair’s “future is as bright as Alaska’s midnight sun.”

Palin didn’t directly mention the marriage but included a link to an “Entertainment Tonight” online story published Wednesday announcing the marriage.

Meyer, the father of Bristol Palin’s second child, previously was engaged to her, and the wedding was called off abruptly a week before it was set to take place last year. In January, Meyer filed a lawsuit against her, seeking joint custody of their child, who was born Dec. 23.

Bristol Palin had her first child in December 2008 with former fiance Levi Johnston. The two never married.

Actor: Conservative tweet was faked

“Ash vs. Evil Dead” star Bruce Campbell says he’s setting the record straight after a conservative Twitter account co-opted a photo of a bloody makeup test for one of his co-stars.

A Twitter account called Conservative Nation on Monday tweeted a photo of an apparently bloodied woman along with the note: “Here’s what happened to female Trump supporter when she met ‘peaceful’ and ‘tolerant’ liberals.”

Campbell tweeted Tuesday the photo is of actress Samara Weaving, who appeared in several episodes of the Starz series. He adds: “Check your facts, folks.”

The original tweet from Conservative Nation remains posted.
