WASHINGTON (AP) -- A White House official dismissed a view expressed by Sen. John McCain about President Donald Trump's CIA nominee, saying Thursday at a staff meeting that "it doesn't matter" because "he's dying anyway," two people in the room told The Associated Press.

Kelly Sadler was discussing McCain's opposition to Trump's pick for CIA director, Gina Haspel, when she made the comment, according to the two people, who described feeling shocked and stunned by the remark. They spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door communications staff meeting.

The White House did not dispute the remark. In a statement, they said, "We respect Senator McCain's service to our nation and he and his family are in our prayers during this difficult time."

The Hill newspaper first reported the comment.

The 81-year-old Arizona Republican, who has spent three decades in the Senate, was diagnosed in July with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. He left Washington in December and underwent surgery last month for an infection.

Sadler is a special assistant to the president. She did not respond to a request for comment Thursday evening.

McCain's wife, Cindy, responded with a tweet tagged to Sadler, "May I remind you my husband has a family, 7 children and 5 grandchildren."

So far, all we have heard are “sources”. I do not believe this crap anymore unless those sources are willing to identify themselves.

Three people...likely women...Sounds like a cat fight.

Any time you have two women in the same office, that is one too many.

She should have said: ESAD (soon), McNuts! You huge POS!

He has brain cancer and is planning his own funeral, so he IS dying. Kelly just stated a fact.

She should have known better

So he isn't dying?

“No matter what anyone thinks about McCain’s recent remarks and views, making a comment like she did is classless, and really dumb. She should have known better.”

I agree, that “She should have known better.” She should have known that it isn’t politically correct to speak the truth in this country anymore.

Freedom of speech has died a slow death (but FASTER than McCain’s).

So until Saint Juan dies and goes to hell, we must, (in political circles), keep the truth to ourselves.

At least here on FR we can still tell the truth about Juan the TRAITOR. One of the most despicable human beings to ever be in politics.

He betrayed his country during a time of WAR = TREASON.

Hero?, MY ASS!

This world will be a much better place after this piece of shite finally DIES! It can’t happen soon enough, as far as I’m concerned.

Songbird still running his mouth....

” “May I remind you my husband has a family, 7 children and 5 grandchildren.””

SO WHAT?

Hitler has a family, children and grandchildren.

None of them should have anything to do with this POS.

(Did I mean Hitler or McCain?) Same difference.

McCain’s wife, Cindy, responded with a tweet tagged to Sadler, “May I remind you my husband has a family, 7 children and 5 grandchildren.”

THAT LADY IS YOUR PROBLEM. NOT OURS SOON!

Brain cancer (Glioblastoma) is an insidious disease. It produces dementia until the person is completely incapable of reasonable thought.

Assuming it actually did happen...

Brain cancer (Glioblastoma) is an insidious disease. It produces dementia until the person is completely incapable of reasonable thought.

It's also widespread. Hillary Rodham got 65,853,514 votes on Election Day, and nearly half any of those were from living, non-fictional US citizen voters. That's a lot of dementia.

I think as Republicans we’re past critiquing people’s marital fidelity and honoring of vows, right? (Remember who’s in the WH.. shhhhh)

No, we're not. That is, we're not if we still have any honor and morality left.

And my post was to point out the hypocrisy of a woman who basically committed adultery with a man who thoroughly dishonored himself by leaving a woman because of how she looks, while that same woman is complaining about how her "husband" is being treated.

The command from Jesus to "Pull the beam out of your eye before attempting to pull the toothpick out of your neigbor's eye" seems to be totally appropriate here.

[Doc91678]

I thought that was due to mass propaganda.
But seriously I was married to a lovely woman that died of brain cancer. There is a marked transition from a logical person to dementia. Watching the process is horrible when watching a good loving partner waste away before your eyes.

Oh, he did? SO WHAT?

I’m sure many people share your view, but I’m not one of them, and I’m sure many others share my view.

>>The person who made the comment should go. She’s too immature to be in the WH.<<

Nonsense. You and others may not like her comments, but fortunately for her and for all of us we have our free-speech rights protected by the Constitution.
