WASHINGTON — The father of Bristol Palin's baby
boy says he's been treated like an outcast since the
end of Gov. Sarah Palin's run for vice
president.
Appearing in an interview broadcast Wednesday on
CBS's "The Early Show," Levi Johnston said he felt a
need to "get my side of the story out there."
A worsening feud has developed between the 19-year-
old Johnston and the governor's family in the wake of
Johnston's complaints about not being able see his
young son Tripp, often enough. Now there is a dispute
about whether Johnston had actually lived with the
Palins. Palin denies that he did; Johnston's family
says the Palins are lying.
Johnston says that the biggest misconception about
him is that his family is "probably that my family's
white trash." He called the Palins "snobby."
Bristol Palin is Sarah Palin's daughter, and at one
point she had agree to marry Johnston, but that is
now off. Johnston said he was heartbroken by the
split.
Johnston said he "wouldn't call any baby a mistake. I
love him more than anything. I wouldn't trade him for
the world." Tripp was born Dec. 27.
