The White House on Monday again refused to apologize for staffer Kelly Sadler's derisive comment about Sen. John McCain, saying the matter is "being addressed internally."

White House spokesman Raj Shah confirmed that Sadler called McCain's daughter, Meghan, to apologize for her remarks but indicated a public apology will not be forthcoming.

“I understand the focus on this issue, but it is going to be dealt with and has been dealt with internally," Shah told reporters.

The Hill first reported last week that Sadler dismissed McCain's opposition to President Trump's CIA nominee by saying "it doesn't matter, he's dying anyway."

1. I don't understand

the love for McCain. He never met a war that he didn't like. He was part of the Keating Five. He opposed MLK holiday. He sang "Bomb, bomb bomb Iran".

3. Love?

If you mean by democrats, it's more of a case of respect. The guys had a tough life in some ways. I wouldn't wish his disease on my worst enemy, much less on a guy that already endured suffering I don't even want to imagine.

6. I think you are conflating basic human decency with love.

Has Sadler been fired yet? I'm sure they are, LOL.

12. Handled "internally" by Trump himself......

Trump has decided not to publically apologize...no one else...even if the Sadler.. who spoke, said she wanted to apologize, then Trump overruled her...

.....It is so obvious....
.....It stinks from Trump
.....It is all about apologizing...Trump never does that
.....It shows who and what he is.......
..... Trump could publically apologize (if he wanted to for his staff), then fire her.
........Why?...an apology is due.....simple, easy to understand...that is what people do...but............
....................NOT TRUMP, Trump never apologizes.........

..........who is a miserable excuse for a person, let alone a leader.......

....let's get it out...clear and simple: a joke about a man with brain cancer..that gets out to the public, by a member of the Trump administration,,,is not being apologized by the government (who that person works for)
in a public and open matter...The leader of that government...has refused to punish or fire that person for saying something very insensitive.

Well stated, thank you.

16. BUllShit on their Propaganda Bullshit. There's no

"internal" about it. It LEAKED out into the Public domain and the idiot who said it owes a public apology to John McCain.. from the Revenge regime.

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

17. Apologizing would show some class

Which is anathema to the Trump administration.

18. "Being handled internally" means the perpetrator will get a promotion.
