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."

We have to keep listening to this blabber mouth because he or his relatives constantly reminds us that he was a former POW.

Two rat snowflakes at a WH staff meeting ran to the AssPress with this?
They should be identified and fired

WTH will the WHITE HOUSE again admit adults only to staff positions?

[Reno89519]

Find and fire the leakers.

[Pollster1]

Now that we know McCain is dying from brain damage, we finally know why he talks like a leftist so often.

“Chocked and stuned, I tell ya.”

I CONDEMN this WH aide’s statements about John McCain! She should have added, “and when he dies, I hope he burns in hell!” She missed a golden opportunity!

"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."

She neglected to include .... and is an asshole.

[neverevergiveup]

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.

[grania]

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

[abb]

Assuming it actually did happen...

[goldstategop]

He’s dead, Jim.

When was the last time McPain was actually on the job?

[McGruff]

Good riddance. The world will be a safer place without McCain.

[goldstategop]

Or he’s turned into a zombie - one of the Walking Dead.

[KamperKen]

One quits reading after the “AP sources”

[SkyPilot]

From Moonstruck (1987):

ROSE: How's the mother?

LORETTA: She's dying. But I could still hear her big mouth.

[McGruff]

...according to the two people, who described feeling shocked and stunned by the remark...

Must be Obama regime holdovers.

[Chickensoup]

He is dying and crocked up with major painkilling medications.

Who knows who is speaking for him, he sure ain’t. As usual Leftists never leave a good disaster (?) to waste.

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."

Actually, Cindy, John has two families. Remember his first family? You know the one, the one he abandoned because he wasn't man enough to honor his vows to his first wife so he, like the coward he is, walked away from his Wife and Kids and chased you because you were much younger and had money?

[CommieCutter]

Bingo.

[goldstategop]

How longer before he steps out of the closet and reveals himself to be a Democrat?

It would have the same shock value as McPain declaring he’s been gay all along.
