The Hill was first to report on Thursday that White House special assistant Kelly Sadler said that John McCain’s opposition to President Trump’s CIA director nominee Gina Haspel didn’t matter because he’s “dying anyway.” The comment was reportedly meant as a joke, but it did not go over well with the rest of the people in the White House meeting, according to sources who spoke with the Hill.

John McCain’s wife Cindy McCain responded with a direct tweet to Sadler on Thursday, pointing out that “my husband has a family, seven children and five grandchildren.” Meghan McCain retweeted her mother.

1. Wasnt a joke, it was a statement of fact by a fascist who is anxious for McCain to die

so the fascist can complete an agenda.

And Meghan McCain is an idiot who isnt qualified to read sports scores at the local Little League game, let alone be on the FUCKING View, and anything that gives that BIGOT sympathy, works against the better good.

On the one hand what was said about her father is horrible, but why call the daughter, not the wife? The daughter goes on national TV daily and DEFENDS the traitor in the fucking WH

2. That remark wasn't something that can be easily taken back, if at all.

She apologized only because the remark became public, but the real problem isn't that it became public, but that she thought it and then said it. It shows you what kind of person she is - the kind of person who would work for someone who thinks those kinds of remarks are just fine and has made them himself. Fish rots from the head.

3. Didn't apologize to John or Cindy

but only to Mehgan who she thought would let her off the hook as a fellow MAGAt.

What a cowardly bitch.

5. "The conversation 'didn't go so well.' "

Imagine that.

As to why she still has a job - look who is sitting in the Oval Office.

6. That's like unscrambling an egg.

Saying something that utterly stupid can't be explained away.

7. How do you apologize for something so vile?

She needs to leave the public service arena and find another calling, somewhere in the bowels of the earth.
