Palin safeguarded from ‘witchcraft’
A YouTube video has surfaced showing Sarah Palin being blessed in her ex-church three years ago by a Kenyan pastor who prayed for protection from “witchcraft” as she prepared to seek higher office.
The video shows Palin standing before Bishop Thomas Muthee at the Wasilla Assembly of God church, holding her hands open as he asks Jesus Christ to keep her safe from “every form of witchcraft.” She keeps her head bowed and does not speak.
Palin formally announced her bid for governor a few months later, in October 2005.
