Sarah Palin said Thursday that Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) admission that he regrets picking her as his running mate in his failed 2008 presidential bid is "like a perpetual gut-punch."
The former Republican vice presidential nominee said the senator's recent remarks were "not what Sen. McCain has told me all these years, as he's apologized to me repeatedly for the people who ran his campaign," she told the Daily Mail before speaking at a pro-Trump PAC fundraiser.
In his upcoming memoir, The Restless Wave: Good Times, Just Causes, Great Fights, and other Appreciations, the 81-year-old senator laments not selecting former Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) as his vice presidential candidate.
McCain still gives Palin high marks for her work on his campaign.
"I attribute a lot of what we're hearing and reading regarding McCain's statements to his ghostwriter or ghostwriters," Palin told the Daily Mail, saying she would have to hear from McCain herself.
McCain is currently at home in Arizona where he is receiving treatment for brain cancer, but remains a strong voice in the GOP and the Senate where he often criticizes the Trump administration.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
You, and a great many others.
I would not admit that, Sarah. Don’t give that bitter bastard the satisfaction.
Man the crap folks right here
She really got the poopy end of the stick. Disgraceful. Shes a fine patriot. Shame on those who didnt support her and let the idiots run all over her.
Don’t even think about it or lose sleep over it woman. McCain is vile piece of human filth, not worth a second thought.
I think she may very well be right. McInsane would never admit having done something wrong.
People accuse Trump and Palin of having hubris, but the truth is that McInsane is full of himself.
Nice to see his usually obedient partner in crime Linda Graham is going to ignore John's advice and vote for the eminent Gina Haspel.
Dear Mrs. Palin,
forget about it.
McShame has been working as fast as he can....to pee as much on America, the American voters, President Trump, and... and....
For HIS information, almost NOBODY wanted to vote for him..once they watched him, learned about him. Many of us only voted for him trying to save America from Soroz’s illegal IslamoNazi infiltrator puppet BO. And yes, many of us voted for McShame because YOU were on the ballot.
I damn well believe this ass-clown doesn’t have cancer at all.
This is all media and deep state bovine excrement.
Yes. And a lesson to any others who think about attaching their wagon to a politician. There is no honor in giving unconditional support - such a position is a recipe for a back-stabbing. She should have distanced herself from McSlime long ago.
And too, his remark says more about him than it does about her.
Sarah is the ONLY reason I voted for McLame
It doesn’t cross McCain’s mind how Sarah might feel about what he said.
I think this info is flowing from the wife if not it would be stopped
It is hard to take anything meaningful from the words of a man with terminal brain cancer. If he hadnt been such a blockhead before he got sick, id Be pitying him.
McCain needs to be removed from the public eye before his dementia gets much worse. He is in a big hole and keeps digging.
Or McCain has no problem lying to people while looking them in the eye...
No wonder Chuck Grassley punched him.
