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.”

Then all five should be fired. Immediately. Also, how is “he’s dying anyway” that “tasteless” when McCain, himself, is out there in public making lists of who he wants at his own funeral?

“Linda Graham a top Republican?”

He’s a bottom-of-the-barrel RAT!

The truth is behind closed doors both side's political operatives say some pretty damn cynical things.

The difference between this White House and Bammy's is this one leaks like a sieve.

Had a hunch, wasn’t quite sure but pleased I had to look it up to verify.
Quite a bit & way too much for me, knowledge about tops and bottoms here on Free Rep. and not just on this posting.

I think the fact that McCain started this particular pissing contest isn’t lost on ANYONE who voted for Trump and this dustup won’t hurt him with the voters he needs to increase the senate majority but, all of that being said, whoever leaked it needs to be fired for creating three days of media feeding frenzy over a nothingburger because his widdle feewings were hurt because Kelly Sadler said something mean about his butt buddy, John McStain.

Maybe it doesn’t leak. Maybe it’s tapped.

It's no joke, Tuco. It's a rope ... and the noose is tightening.

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

Yes, sadly the good often die young, but not so for the worthless turds!

He and McCain have changed positions because McCain is down in the mouth.

What’ the deal?

Whoever said this was an idiot. It has given MSM just the distraction it desperately needed from all the good things happening and brought sympathy to a worthless back stabbing traitor.

that too... but he's a true weak bottom

Weak Bottom:

A weak bottom is a submissive gay man who likes to be on the receiving end as opposed to the giving end.

as in - Weak bottom seeks strong top for anonymous gay sex in public restroom.
