"You talk to someone who snorted it with her and you talk to many of Todd's friends who describe him as having been at the end of the straw frequently in his youth. I'm not saying that Todd and Sarah Palin, today, abuse cocaine or even use it. But, there's no question that they both did, at one point in their lives," McGinniss told the NBC reporter.
McGinniss also describes Palin as "at best she's a hypocrite at worst she's a vindictive hypocrite."
In the Palin's Reality TV show, “Sarah Palin's Alaska,” Sarah commented on McGinniss moving next door and viewers getting a glimpse of the author.
According to the DailyMail, a source also informed the National Enquirer the breaking point occurred when Sarah's brother told a friend, "They don't have a marriage."
In addition to being upset for being the nation's laughing stock, Todd is reportedly upset at the author's public confirmation of the allegations and his brother-in-law's breach of loyalty.
The Palins have not yet confirmed any allegations.
