WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A top Republican has urged the White House to speak out against an aide who mocked Senator John McCain’s brain cancer during an internal meeting, but stopped short of calling on U.S. President Donald Trump to apologize.

South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a close friend of McCain, told CBS’s “Face the Nation” program in an interview to be aired on Sunday that he was not satisfied with the White House’s response to the controversy surrounding Kelly Sadler, a communications aid.

“It’s (a) pretty disgusting thing to say, if it was a joke, it was a terrible joke,” Graham said. “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.”

So McCain starts all of this by making headlines about not wanting Trump at his funeral and saying that selecting Sarah as his running mate in 2008 was a mistake. The self righteous nonsense from ones like Graham over this comment therefore does not compute.

It isn’t true. Nobody said this. It’s fake news.

All these preaching, judgement morality experts are becoming tiresome. Why can’t these people just mind their own business?

Lindsey Graham is grandstanding in effort to boost his credos for a run at the WH, but just like McPain he’s taking a stand at the bottom of the wrong hill.

McCain should’ve retired when he found out he had brain cancer

Since when is what they skimmed out of a scummy pond a “top Republican”? I have NEVER heard ‘’Lindsey Graham” and “top Republican” uttered in the same sentence! They should have a game show pitting Graham Cracker and David Camera Hogg against one another to see who vies for lens time more and who is fuller than the other of pure ______.

McCain lived far longer than the men he left behind in Nam or the ones who died because of him on the carrier.

I have seen this crap story recycled for 2 days now. Where is the call for an apology from McCain for the things he said?
