“I think that's unfortunate because he had some strange people around him and... disloyal people, and you know, I don't say that as like hate speech or griping about it, it's just a fact they were just some not nice people.”

Guy I worked with was a staunch Bush supporter but he went Obama in 2008 because of her.

And he never had anything good to say about Hillary
(But a lot of the usual nasty stuff) but he voted for her instead of Trump in 2016.

He actually put some thought into his vote.

She had a nice condolence tweet, but she couldn't STFU, could she?

Whatever you think of McCain, he did unleash Palin on America, and it wasn't pretty.

The people to whom Palin is referring likely included Nicolle Wallace, who served as senior adviser to the McCain-Palin campaign in 2008 and is now a political commentator for MSNBC. Palin has been jousting with Wallace ever since she was assigned to help transform Palin from small-state governor to vice presidential candidate. Palin has been blaming Wallace for years for her disastrous performance on the campaign trail. Wallace, meanwhile, wrote a novel featuring a mentally ill female vice presidential candidate that many believed was a thinly veiled dig at Palin.
