White House press secretary Sarah Sanders on Friday confirmed that Kelly Sadler, the top White House aide accused of joking about Sen. John McCain's death in a staff meeting Thursday, is still employed by the administration. But Sanders otherwise repeatedly declined to comment on the reported remark, or how President Trump views McCain, who is being treated for brain cancer.
As The Hill first reported and other publications later confirmed, Sadler, in a conversation about McCain's disapproval of Mr. Trump's pick to run the CIA, said, "It doesn't matter, he's dying anyway." But Sanders declined to comment further, and only divulged Sadler's employment status after she was pressed about it a second time.
"I'm not gonna' comment on an internal staff meeting," Sanders said multiple times, when reporters prodded her as to whether the White House believes it should address those remarks.

If McCain doesn’t resign until June 1 or later then the Az. governor can name a replacement who will serve until November, 2020. If he resigns before June 1 the seat stays open until this November when it will be voted on. With J. Flake resigning it would be a tough one for the ‘Pubbies (two Senate seats at once.)
I hope I remembered and corresponded accurately...ssz
I’mso sick and tired of that bitter creep. But, as one aide said, he i dying anyway and that is small comfort for the damage he has caused all through the years. Sen. McCain also got Obama elected. Juding by his remarks about Palin, he didn’teven want to win.
Why would she not have a job? She told the truth. She stated a fact!
McCain is gonna die. Period. (Hopefully sooner rather than later)
and Sarah Palin
McCain is a low life scoundrel
Absolutely. The comment was in bad taste but so are many personal internal communications in PRIVATE settings.
The only opinion you are allowed is one that is politically correct to the lefties. So much for free speech. I’d like to see Trump say...”well McCain is an A$$hat...so what.”
Boot- bulshit
If McCain wants to go out a daughter and bitter old man then it’s game on in slings and arrows go both ways
However if he wants to go out with dignity he should
If his family knows that he’s a Madman in his final days then shame on them for allowing this to happen
He should have gone to jail over the Savings and Loan Keating 5 cabal
They all hated McCain in 2008 for no reason other than he was Barry’s opponent.
He was the exact same McCain they all praised prior to the 2008 election ... however, he was in Barry’s way ... he had to be humiliated and trashed by the press since he wasn’t their guy.
Now the press is acting all shocked and outraged due to someone saying something relatively harmless about McCain dying ... something nowhere near as bad as the filth in the press said during Barry’s rise to power in 2008 ... amazing.
These maggots in the press make me want to vomit. If they were serious I might understand, but this fake outrage is disgusting.
The same people that were dancing and cheering when Reagan and Thatcher died are now “outraged” when someone in the WH says that John McCain is dying in response to some of the stuff McCain has said about the Trump Administration ... got it ...
Good.
One thing is for certain, John McCain is the example that torture works
Plenty of Fake News journalists still have jobs. Let that sink in.
Media, fake news reporters aren’t used to reporting facts. That is why the words spoken bother them.
Still has her job?
Where’s the mention of a promotion?
Here comes the MSM trying to make a saint of that POS McPain. Also, they will start a new narrative of the president and his staff making fun of a dying American hero!
He should get a promotion, a raise and a medal.
Government employees are hard to fire. Yeah, that’s it.
This was an attempted character assassination by one of the Never Trumpers in the White House.
