A White House official mocked Sen. John McCain’s brain cancer diagnosis at an internal meeting on Thursday, a day after the Arizona Republican announced his opposition to President Trump’s nominee for CIA director, Gina Haspel.
Special assistant Kelly Sadler made the derisive comments during a closed-door White House meeting of about two-dozen communications staffers on Thursday morning.
“It doesn’t matter, he’s dying anyway,” Sadler said, according to a source familiar with the remarks at the meeting.
The White House did not deny the account of Sadler’s remarks, which came amid a discussion of Haspel’s nomination and McCain’s opposition to it.
McCain (R-Ariz.), the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman, released a statement Thursday announcing his opposition to the confirmation of Gina Haspel to be CIA director, writing that her “refusal to acknowledge torture’s immorality is disqualifying.”
Sen. John McCain’s wife chastised a White House aide Thursday night who made a dismissive remark about the senator’s cancer diagnosis during an internal meeting.
“May I remind you my husband has a family, 7 children and 5 grandchildren,” Cindy McCain wrote on Twitter Thursday evening.

This woman deserves to be fired, but we all know that will never happen.

Just give him time. He'll get around to firing her.
I equally am sorry for your terrible lifes choices, resulting in a bitter person who can't accept a Trump Presidency and the death of a man who obstructed Trump at times and created this whole faux outage.

People die every day...why is this any different? He's a bitter old man who attempted to thwart democracy in our country and made MANY bad decisions and doesn't care that he did. Is there a reason we should be upset over a comment? Should we silence the one who commented?

Attempted to thwart democracy? So, when the vote goes your way, it's democracy, when it doesn't go your way is corruption and thwarted democracy?
Deplorable!

If true, that’s a pretty disgusting comment to make no matter how you feel about someone.

I heard from my inside sources that Obama is responsible for killing McCain. It was mentioned at a closed door meeting that you weren't part of, so you'll just have to take my word for it.
