Palin praised Meghan McCain’s statement regarding her dad, which she tweeted on Wednesday.
“Knowing Senator McCain, he doesn’t want us to be anxious,” she said. “He is one to endure.”
After saying that personal loyalty was “an almost nonexistent virtue,” Palin praised McCain for always being loyal to her family.
“I just wish more people could know him personally, as my family does,” she said.
