Sarah Palin: Levi Johnston Doesn't Have Anything on Me

Levi Johnston Says Sarah Palin Wanted to Adopt His and Bristol's Baby

Following her interview with Oprah Winfrey on Monday, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin continues to promote her book, sitting down with Barbara Walters to set the record straight about claims made by Levi Johnston that her marriage is on the rocks and that she called her youngest child Trig a derogatory term.

Johnston, 19, claimed on "The Early Show" last month that Palin had called Trig, who is afflicted with Down syndrome, "retarded."

"That's heartbreaking to know that that he would say such a thing and that's not true," she tells Walters, who aired her interview with Palin on "Good Morning America."

Johnston -- the father to Palin's grandchild Tripp -- has also told media outlets that he thinks the former Alaska governor and her husband Todd will divorce. Palin reacts, "We remain a solid, blessed couple."

Walters addresses Johnston's claims that Palin did not mention him in her book Going Rogue: The American Life because she feared what information he had on her. "He doesn't have anything on me," Palin says of Johnston's remarks.

The former VP hopeful believes it's a "good sign" that Johnston has said he is going to court to get joint custody of his son Tripp. "It will be nice to see a desire to be a part of the baby's life."

  • Levi Johnston is all talk and not much more. The way he runs off at the mouth, if he had anything on the Palins he'd have spilled it long before this. He can't help him self. Some folk run off at the mouth instead of the other end and he is one of them. He's a nasty evil rotten little piece of work. Mumbling idiot should just shut up, grow up and try to grow into a decent human being and a good role model for his son...if God forbid he gets to spend time with him.

  • In the beginning I thought that it was hilarious they way you pretended to take Levi seriously. But, the more he talks, if you can call incoherent mumbling talking, the more he disgusts me and you seem to be exploiting an idiot. It's time to dump the moron and get back to the show.

  • No one would even know who Levi was if it weren't for Sarah. He just wants publicity and knows how to use it to jump start a career. Seriously if he was a decent person he wouldn't be on these types of shows airing his dirty laundry. To me he seems to be putting himself above his son.

  • can't we go on and get rid of this young man that gets a girl pregnant (I know it takes two) but uses that and then he poses nude and wants to get his son. When it is women posing nude everyone goes after her, why is he getting news with it. Lets get to important things like our men and women in the military that are keeping us safe instead of some jerk using badmouthing to get somewhere.
