Sarah Palin surprised her millions of Facebook followers Sunday with a post on Russia that began “John McCain is right,” a rare embrace of the former Republican presidential nominee whose ticket she infamously joined in 2008.
The former Alaska governor applauded McCain’s take on Russian President Vladimir Putin and his antagonistic relationship with the United States, which the Arizona Republican shared on Fox News Sunday. McCain said President Obama mischaracterized Putin as a “kid in the back of the classroom” and the Democratic leader didn’t appreciate that “Putin does not care about a relationship with the United States, continues to oppress his people, continues to oppress the media and continues to act in an autocratic and unhelpful fashion.”
