Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's stump speech for Donald Trump, unprecedented in its Americanness, was too much for MSNBC's live feed to handle on Wednesday.
After Palin burst back onto the scene Tuesday night with her endorsement of Trump for the Republican nomination for president, Palin made another appearance to support Trump in Oklahoma, where all three cable channels broadcast her remarks live.

A few moments later, MSNBC went back to broadcasting Palin's energetic support for Trump. Palin was the 2008 vice-presidential nominee on the Republican ticket with Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.). After they were defeated, Palin went on to become a Tea Party star, although her popularity among Republicans has sunk dramatically over the years.
