Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, who was Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)’s running mate in the 2008 presidential election, has been excluded from his funeral. Breitbart News has independently confirmed an earlier report in People magazine, which reported that Palin was not sent an invitation, and was told through intermediaries to stay away from the ceremony.
McCain fundraiser Carla Eudy confirmed to People that Palin had not been invited — possibly, People speculated, at the behest of the McCain family.
The news comes on the tenth anniversary of the date in 2008 when Palin was announced as McCain’s pick for Vice President.
Palin now joins President Donald Trump on the list of those barred from the funeral.
But unlike Trump, Palin never feuded with McCain and never criticized him.
When news broke on Saturday of McCain’s passing, Palin said: “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.
“John McCain was my friend. I will remember the good times. My family and I send prayers for Cindy and the McCain family.”

WELL SAID!
Oh man, now that is sorry. Another validation of how evil McCain was.
I had heard his dad was a competent, decent guy when he rose to CINCPAC during the Vietnam conflict, a tough time to do that job for sure.
Am I wrong in my impression? Do you have any pulse from that time from people under him?
Just curious...
If for nothing else, McStain owes Sarah for the fact that the words “suffered the worst electoral defeat in American History” are not part of his obituary.
We love you Sarah!
When I see DJT eating pizza with a knife and fork (as I do) I see a guy who does things his own way because he wants to and doesn’t give a rat’s ass if other people don’t like it!

Palin hits the trail for McCain (2010)
John McCain was worried that after having his aides and members of the corrupt media slander her time and again while McCain was not man enough to face her and admit he was behind this that Sarah Palin would end the funeral service by dancing on his grave.
Just a slight tweak.
When I saw the Project Veritas videos by James O'Keefe, he recorded a Dem talking about how they try to get conservatives to pop off at them, I recognized the behavior.
At that rally, I had a guy getting in my face trying to piss me off, and a whole bunch of his friends were recording it.
Faux Snooze is in on the whole shebang.
Hannity might as well be the safe in capones vault.
As Earl Pitts once said, Wake up America.
Maybe that saves her from the embarrassing situation from having to refuse an invitation? Hmm?
I doubt Sarah Palin is all that upset.

What you say is all true, but she wisely cashed in on her high profile and made millions.
Double edged sword, I guess.
I honestly believe that the man was energized via his hate and anger. The man’s psyche didn’t go all the way to the top floor for sure. He was definitely “one taco short of a combination plate” as well.
I agree with you, he brought her into the fray but didn’t lift a finger to defend her from the wolves. In fact as it turned out it was “his people” (him) behind a lot of it.
I cannot figure out why he picked her to begin with, he had no respect for her and obviously they were far apart on issues. She was much too conservative for him.
I guess she was meant to be a bone thrown to the conservatives to get their votes and get them to shut up. I truly don’t know.
It sure did seem like he didn’t try to win though...as if a deal was made. The Romney campaign was just as odd...if they gained on O they just backed off.
Man, talk about small, petty minds. The McCains are in a sad class by themselves. An inspiration to spiteful vampires the world over.
John McCain.. a real "PLICK", even after it's over!
McCain’s family hates Sarah’s guts, which means that they hate our Deplorable guts too.
That much is crystal clear.
So much for doing ‘what’s nice’ for appearances.
I have to admit, I’m disappointed, but not too surprised.
