This is Carol McCain, John McCain's first wife. She was not invited to McCain's Arizona funeral either. McCain adopted his first wife Carol's two children, Douglas and Andrew, after the couple married in 1965 and a year later they had their only child together: Sidney. All of the McCain children attended his funeral service in Arizona, including Carol's children, Douglas and Andrew. The mother of three of his children, Carol, was not invited, and neither was Sarah Palin, his VP candidate in 2008.

Two years after marrying, John became a prisoner of war and was not released back to his family until 1973. In turn, Carol had to raise her sons and the couple’s daughter for an estimated six years, on her own. When McCain returned home from Vietnam in 1973 after being captured and held as a prisoner of war for five years, he found out about a car accident Carol had three years earlier that left her badly injured.

He left her because she was disfigured and started dating Cindy Hensley while still married to Carol. McCain pushed for a divorce in 1980 and, that same year, McCain married Cindy, who was 17 years younger.

Cindy was born into a wealthy family - her father was one of the biggest Anheuser Busch distributors in the United States. After her father died, she inherited the company and has an estimated net worth of over $100 million.

Ronald and Nancy Reagan were both appalled at McCain for what he did to his first wife. Carol McCain was Director of the White House Visitors Office during the Reagan administration. This is the guy the media is now holding up as a saint? I think not.
