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.”

OH MY!!!...I forgot that I had a bottle of champagne chilling for about a month now, so time to pop the cork!
Salute!
Lots of people died to make the Kenyanesian Usurpation happen.
More died as a result of it.
More will die to keep it under wraps.
if true, that is about as petty as it gets. i guess the country club would be mortified by that particular hobbit.
I clearly remember going to a McCain rally in Tampa on the Monday morning before the 2008 election that would occur the next day.
Not being an avid McCain supporter I went late with the expectation if the rally was full I would go home.
In reality when I arrived 20 minutes before the rally was to begin there were no other supporters. In fact it was so lacking of supporters that they had me stand directly behind McCain and Lieberman and be part of the cheering section.
As Obama would later say: “It was a teachable moment.”
Fast forward to yesterday and when I read that Adam Putnam held a breakfast rally at a very small Bradenton FL restaurant holding 50 people one week before yesterday’s FL primary, I knew that Ron DeSantis was going to be a huge winner.
Similarly, I sent an email to my friends in September 2016 saying that Trump was going to be the winner because he would draw thousands of people to his rallies while Hillary felt good if she got a hundred to her rallies.
Ignore the polls has been my game plan. Pay attention to the rallies. Is a candidate drawing hundreds or is the candidate drawing thousands? The answer is who will be the winner.
Why not? Does their ass-holery, the wreckage they no longer have to explain, or perhaps even be ashamed of, evaporate with their last breath?
John McCain...an asshole to the very end.
Spit...
Pathetic.
The wife and I voted for Sarah, not the (thankfully formerly) talking anus.
That manthing was a scourge upon humanity.
He was an ultimate demonstration of how much an untalented (but Admiral fathered) one-celled brain can do.
His morality was so low that he hung around with Dead Ted, the fat *ass of mASSachusetts.
May McButtface meet the next life’s version of global warming.
“John McCain...an asshole to the very end.”
It goes much deeper than that.

It's sad that the brave cancer cells who took down this POS had to give their lives, too. They could have gone on to do good work with Ovomit, Kameltoe Hairyass, "Dick" Holder, "Dementia" Pelosi & Schucks Chumer...
So Sarah was actually dis-invited from the funeral. Even after she publicly praised McCain's memory.
Talk about some low down, dirty rotten people. What on earth do they have against her?
They are horrorshows.
All of them.
Filthy Deep State is having a Pow Wow.
No name stop flattering yourself, she nor the President wanted to come...
Oddly enough, I believe BushRoveElites were behind all of it.
They did not want a Christian Conservative in the Executive office.
Bush met with Obama, but not Palin or McCain, with Bush’s top economic people like Bernake at the Bush White House during the financial “crisis” of 2008.
They were backing Obama, because Palin/McCain meant JEB would have to wait too long.
You've coined the Latin form of Juan's last name:
McAnus
Here’s a repeat of my first FR post on hearing that John McCain was discontinuing treatment and preparing to die:

Sad!
John McCain lived his life as a jackass..and that is how he died, a jackass..you can’t change a person and make them a decent human being, either they are one or they are not..McCain never was..this is how he treated those who actually tried to HELP him..Sarah Palin didnt need this, she had a great life in Alaska, 80 percent approval rating, family who loves her..she was overjoyed with excitement to be a potential Vice President, heck who would bail on that chance..she took it, she had no idea that McCain NEVER wanted to win, that is entire team was comprised of goons who wanted Obama to win..they grew sick of Sarah Palin the second she tried to WIN..she wanted to WIN, they didnt
I heartily agree that it is because of McCain that Sarah Palin had all those bogus legal troubles that forced her to resign as Governor of Alaska.
Sad!
They blame her for the creation of the Tea Party..and ultimate, Sarah’s biggest “Crime” voting for and supporting Donald Trump
Same here. Sarah Palin go him to where he could at least show some respectable numbers.
