Petty: Palin not invited to any McCain memorial services

President Trump was called petty by many because he didn't genuflect to the memory of John McCain.

But is McCain--or his family--the petty one?

From CNN:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is not invited to any of the memorial services for her former running mate, Arizona Sen. John McCain, a source tells CNN.

Palin was rocketed onto the national stage in the summer of 2008 after McCain picked her to be his running mate in the presidential race he would eventually lose to Barack Obama.
A representative for Sarah Palin did not return a request for comment.

Palin mourned McCain in a tweet Saturday night after his death, calling him her "friend."
From The Hill in May:
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.
Well McCain, also known as St. John the Maverick of Sedona, is petty for sure.
