Lindsey Graham: 'I wish' the White House would apologize for 'disgusting' joke about John McCain
The Washington Examiner ^ | May 12, 2018 | Daniel Chaitin

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 wish John McCain would apologize for screwing over the American people. Honest to good God these aholes think they’re some kind of saints.

Yeah, Hillary’s a treasure alright. I wish they’d stop digging her up.

Agree totally. It was a simple factual statement.

John should have shut his mouth. The real point is... He's not even voting.

The two snitches should be fired.

I'm a lonely person here on FR with my view on this kind of unforced error. There's a coup going on. It's almost a year and a half, yet there are STILL coup members on the WH staff. They're either traitors who haven't been outed, Trump appointees, or some really stupid people who say things that are innocent to friends in the media. I get it that the statement made was innocent and off-the-cuff. What's obscene is that anything from a staff meeting leaves the room.

Last week, President Trump had a week which from a historical perspective is perhaps unequalled in the history of the Presidency, on so many fronts. But the coup members in the press and media will talk about anything negative they can find. This flippant statement fed that beast. Until the traitors are out of the WH, those who are way too careless with what they say are remediated, and the press starts acting professional (when pigs fly), statements like this are unmitigated disasters.

Is it fair? NO. Nobody said swamp creatures would play fair.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a very classy act.

McCain and Lindsey are not. McCain has a mole on the White House staff.Thats where the apology should be, to the white House and to the president.

And what of McCain’s sordid history?

The Gang of 14,The Keating 5, the continuous ruination of conservative policy legislation in the Senate etc...

The final straw for me was McCain’s vote against the repeal of Obama care, cast out of spite, not because he cared anything about the bogus replacement bill drafted by Ryan and his cronies..

Then there was the boondoggle million dollar arms fiasco through Obama in Syria where a cadre of men of this bogus Syrian “resistance” made themselves rich selling the McCain armaments on the black market to ISIS.

The list goes on and on.

McCain’s disrespectful comments from his bitter death bed about Sarah Palin assure McCain will go down in history as a POS with a POS legacy......a loser.

And no one did it to him, not Donald Trump for sure.

John McCain did it to himself.

I would say that the White House is still being tapped.

I would fire every White House staff person and cleaner and bring in new.

I would say you’re right on all counts.

...”When does Graham apologize for his miserable job as a Senator?”...

Just curious. Has he shown any interest in the Wall Street Journal's story from Kim Strassel, that the FBI spied on, and perhaps even planted someone of their choosing in the Trump Campaign which is against the US law. That is a big issue unlike this nitpicking gossip and fortune telling we see and hear every day from the left wing media. If we didn't have prostitutes, lies and gossip, we would have no news.

Agreed. The security checking of staff by the FBI also has been weaponized against PDJT and the People.

Ah, geez. Does Lindsey get to comment on everything? Can’t he just let something go?

What a freaking moron. Do we ever see Democrats splay themselves out and ask for forgiveness? Hell no!

I wish the State of South Carolina would wake up and replace Lindsey Graham with a real conservative.

Saying Hillary plundered the national treasury would be a more accurate assessment that what Lindsey spewed forth.
