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.
that pissed me off even more than his disrespect toward Trump. Sarah stood by McCain and had nothing but high praise for him through thick and thin.
Very sorry, Sarah... you deserved better.
I voted for Sarah, along with millions of my close friends who wouldn’t have been caught dead voting for McCain if not for this great lady. Would have been a near 50 state landslide for Obama without her.
“I suspect Sarah wont be invited to the funeral either.”
It’s beginning to look like there will be a bigger celebration of his demise than a celebration of his life.
I couldn’t agree more...Well said.
Same here.
Songbird regrets picking you?
That’s a Yuge Badge of Honor, Sarah
Just prior to death there is a period of ego agitation where people say things like this out of fear. I’ve seen it many times in dying people. It’s normal.
“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. “
You know McCain’s at death’s door when this a$$hole does something on his own.
I believe Tom Dewey later said that he regretted choosing Governor Earl Warren of CA in 1948. Warren could not hold CA for Dewey, but John Bricker in 1944 held OH for Dewey.
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.
Geez, no need for more evidence than this regarding The Hill’s bias.
Sorry Sarah. McStain has always been a selfish ungrateful traitorous and hateful ass.
I have never witnessed a person so hateful on his death bed. He will see many turn their back on him. That is the ones who aren’t lined up to piss on him.
His stoopid campaign was dead and that is why he chose you.
Yes, she is classy.
You give me hope, you sweet talker you...
Costco had a John McCain coffee table photo book for sale. The hagiography of McCain is getting ridiculous.
Sarah and her entire family got drug, still do, through hell for that ingrate asshole.
He was responsible for the loss of 5 military aircraft. That makes him an Ace.
That they were all American aircraft makes him an Ace Hole...
Same here!
