Lindsey Graham: 'I wish' the White House would apologize for 'disgusting' joke about John McCain

Sen. Lindsey Graham would like to see the White House apologize for a "disgusting" joke that was made about the health of his friend, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who is battling brain cancer.

Last week, a White House press aide, Kelly Sadler, joked to colleagues during a closed-door meeting mocked McCain’s health after he called for his Senate colleagues to reject Gina Haspel’s nomination for CIA director. “It doesn’t matter, he’s dying anyway,” Sadler said.

Graham, R-S.C., said if this was in fact a joke, "it was a terrible joke."

"I just wish somebody from the White House would tell the country that was inappropriate, that's not who we are in the Trump administration," Graham told "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan for an interview that will air Sunday on CBS....

I’m not defending him, and not judging anyone.

When does John apologize for turning over the lying dossier about Trump to the FBI? You know, Donald Trump has children and grandchildren.

My dear departed dad had a saying: Wish in one hand and sh*t in the other. See which one fills up first!

Why would the WH get dragged into being responsible for a catty comment made by one woman at a private staff meeting ?

If the WH gets involved it should be to identify and fire the 2 snowflakes who leaked this to the AssPress as if it was a national issue

It wasn’t a joke..seriously McCain is dying right? I never heard Michelle Wolf apologize for anything, in fact she doubled and tripled down..but stating a FACT about precious McCain gets the lefty freaks into a tizzy..in 2008 they hated his guts, now they adore him because he hates Trump

A few items I think he is a scoundrel and needs apology first:

Killier by 131 and 161 disabled sailors in 1967 more than killing the emeny
Traitor in a POW camp threating additional sailors with secrets
Divorcing his wife after supporting my him with his troubles
Thief part Keater Savings Bank Scandal.
Terrorist supporting of Islamic Terrorists in Syrian
Constitutional critical of free and fair US Election with he dossier

People are always being told they need to apologize to John McCain.

He’s a filthy liar.

Who are the people that keep voting Liberal Lindsey in?

FOX NEWs is going to dedicate 15 days of programming to John McCain specials.

Let me help word the apology.

I’m sorry if anyone was offended by my accurate observation about Sen. McCain. In retrospect, I should have said “It doesn’t matter, it’s John F***ing McCain” instead.

“McCain had leaked to the press sensitive information about the investigation that came from some of the closed proceedings of the Ethics Committee.[8] McCain denied doing so under oath, although several press reports concluded that McCain had been one of the main leakers during that time.[8][62] The GAO investigator later said, “There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that McCain made those leaks.”[46] Vice chair Rudman stated in his 1996 autobiography that McCain and his staff were responsible for some of the leaks,[62] but later repudiated the assertion.[46]”.

If Graham is truly concerned about what is and isn’t appropriate he needs to tell his good friend McCain how inappropriate his recent remarks have been. He also needs to realize some of us are not pleased that McCain is using his cancer like a race card.

McCain is dishing it out, then when there is understandable backlash reminds everyone he has cancer. As long as McCain is able to trash and insult conservatives, he is fair game for a few sharp sticks.

During the 2008 campaign, thousands of the 0bama troll army, posted thousands of comments about McCain and cancer, wishing that he would die. I don’t recall ANYONE denouncing that, or demanding that the 0bama campaign or the dems in general, apologize.

On March 6, 2007 Lindsey Graham was honored by the National Council of La Raza (the race) for his effort to enact comprehensive immigration reform. The always eloquent Senator Graham said that those opposing La Raza were “a few loud bigots” and they need to shut up.

A disgusting joke? Is the @sshole dying or not? If he isn’t, then he’s the one that is playing a joke. If he is, then it’s the truth. Lindsey, all I know is I wish you could be with him....all the way!
