Sarah Palin, former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate, called her former running mate Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) a “maverick and a fighter” in a statement after his death Saturday afternoon. “Today we lost an American original. Sen. John McCain was a maverick and a fighter, never afraid to stand for his beliefs. John never took the easy path in life — and through sacrifice and suffering he inspired others to serve something greater than self,” she said.
“John McCain was my friend. I will remember the good times. My family and I send prayers for Cindy and the McCain family.”

McCain was not her friend. After he selected her he barely talked to her because her last name was not Lieberman. He basically refused to have anything to do with a conservative. Then a few months ago be blamed his loss on her and said he should have never picked her. Palin should have ignored his death. I am sick and damn tired of the media glorifying this RINO backstabbing SOB. The GOP is certainly better off without having to deal with him.
McCain and his family deliberately stabbed her in the back, and actively sabotaged her throughout the campaign, and even afterwards. They were all jealous that she could draw a crowd, and McCain could barely fill a phone booth.

No, Sarah, he was NOT a maverick.
No, Sarah, he DID take the easy path in life. That’s why his fellow soldiers called him Songbird, and despised him for turning his back on veterans who desperately needed the help he in his position could and should have given.
Your final sentence is correct, Sarah, he DID serve “something greater than self”. He served EVIL.
Truth is Truth, regardless of life or death. Speak truth or stay silent, but don’t “gush” crap.
I am grateful Donald Trump is our President. HE stands tall and true.
Will Cindy invite Sarah to the funeral? She should.
I’ve heard that VP Mike Pence will be there.
Very gracious considering his disloyalty to her
He trashed her again at the very end of his life when it was gratuitous
THAT IS AN AWESOME PHOTO! (Yeah, I was yelling.)
Its either classy or batter woman’s syndrome. He was terrible to her
BOY does SHE have class..!
His ENTIRE ticket was her, and he SUCKED.
I can’t imagine two more different people:
She, a totally legitimate American classic angel, paired with a priveleged, scum-sucking, 5 plane-crashing, power-hungry, back-stabber from Hell.
You know why on the trail she held her tongue about soooo much of the Clinton dirt..?
Cuz EVERY time she suggested doing so, McCain and all his peeps would say, “Naaww..! If we say THAT, the press will EAT US ALIVE..!”
They did that a million times, and she said so, much earlier when that scum was perfectly healthy.
REALLY respect Palin, here..!
He treated her about as well most of the other women who he came into contact with. She had the highest approval rating of any governor in the country, but after her association with McCain she was trashed mercilessly.
Proverbs 11:10
When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.
She’s being polite.
It does no good to be publicly rude or indifferent at this stage.
She’ll have plenty of time to tell what she REALLY thinks
I don’t know if everyone remembers, John ran back to Washington to get himself on Camera with Obama and put on a big show of dealing with the Financial Crisis and voted for the socialist takeover of the Financial System instead of breaking the banks apart to crush their monopolies.
I wasn’t against the bailouts themselves, but at the end of the day the US Government should have been able to break the banks apart and require their sale.
We didn’t need regulation, we needed to end too big to fail as being a threat and a tool against freedom in the United States.
We now know why this was done, the US Financial System became a weapon to use against the elites enemies and to introduce social controls.
When he did this, I felt betrayed and lost all respect for him.
I felt that somehow McCain had changed, maybe it was old age, maybe a medical problem, but I saw him as unstable and unreliable from that point forward.
I only voted for him for President because of Palin.
american original, what does that mean? I’ve seen that others said it about mccain too, but we are all originals, no two alike. if born in usa we are american originals. or do they mean mccain was an oddball nut and just trying tomake it sound like he was something great?
Yep. The ‘whoosh’ factor is strong in that statement.
Perfect photo!
She will always be OUR Sarah!
Of course, we remember!
He ran a stupid campaign.
I was just imagining how much evil will be at the funeral. It would be the last place I’d want to be.
I don’t see him as “unorthodox or independent-minded” at all. He served Satan just like so many others do. Nothing independent-minded or unorthodox about that.
