It was probably just a little boo-boo, what's the big deal?
We got you another COMPLETELY SURPRISING story about how people in the Trump White House are disgusting trash people, because the guy at the top is a disgusting trash person and we guess it rubs off on the disgusting trash people he hired to serve his dishonorable ass.
Turns out a lady in the White House comms department named Kelly Sadler has been caught with her mouth open, LOLing about how it doesn't matter that John McCain, a former prisoner of war who was tortured for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS ALAN in a Vietnamese prison, is opposed to Gina Haspel's nomination to lead the CIA, because LOL HE'S ABOUT TO DIE! LOL! LMAO!
“It doesn’t matter, he’s dying anyway,” Sadler said, according to a source familiar with the remarks at the meeting.
Christ, what an asshole.
But you guys, it was just a big joke, because Kelly Sadler is a well-known comedian who knows what good jokes are. She would have said John McCain has a perfect smoky eye, but she didn't want to be rude or anything.
A WH official confirms WH aide Kelly Sadler mocked John McCain’s cancer diagnosis saying “he’s dying anyway” in response to his opposition to Haspel nomination. The “joke... fell flat” the official said.

Turns out Kelly Sadler is pretty well known in Washington for being a total fucking asshole. The Weekly Standard reported last year that Sadler likes to send out really gross and racist anti-immigration emails, from her White House email account, with headlines like "CRIMINAL ALIENS SET FREE BY SANCTUARY CITIES" and "'I wish I had killed more of the mother‐‐‐‐‐‐-,' says illegal immigrant accused of killing two cops," and indeed, she even does an "immigration crime round-up" on a regular basis. So let's say it together: SHE SEEMS NICE.
While the White House is very mad that people leaked this asshole's asshole words to the press, out here in the real world, people are very outraged but not surprised that a Trump person said a Trump person thing. And the McCain family is none too pleased. Cindy McCain, wife of John, tweeted this Thursday night:
@kellysadler45 May I remind you my husband has a family, 7 children and 5 grandchildren.

Highly doubt the asshole cares.
According to Annie Karni, Politico White House reporter, Sadler called Meghan McCain to pretend she is very sorry, and it "didn't go so well." And Meghan McCain had some WORDS for Sadler on "The View" on Friday morning:
Here's a little newsflash ... we'are all dying, I'm dying, you're dying, we're all dying ... it's not how you die, it is how you live.
Note to Kelly Sadler, you shitheel: What Meghan McCain is saying is that YOU LIVIN' LIKE SHIT. McCain also said Sadler's ass should be fired. We really aren't big fans of Meghan McCain around these parts, but when she's right, she's right.
MSNBC reported this morning that senators are PISSED about this, with McCain's best buddy, Lindsey Graham, who is voting for the torture lady despite McCain's advice against doing that, saying that "nobody's laughing in the Senate," and Joni Ernst issuing a statement about how if she wasn't such a polite person she might kick her Iowa bread bag shoes up Kelly Sadler's ass. (Just kidding, Joni Ernst does not make bread bag jokes about HERSELF. But she did issue a statement.)
Jeff Flake tweeted that there are "no words." How about "I vote no on the torture lady"? Those are some words.
But of course, the fish rots from Donald Trump, who once said of McCain, “He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”
Do we loooooove John McCain around here? Not so much. But the one thing he's been unflaggingly correct about is torture, because he's lived it. Leave it to Cadet Bone Spurs' racist aide to butter up her boss with the most disgusting shit possible. Bet she's Chief of Staff before we know it.

I think you can hate his positions but still be civil. I also think that a dying man might be having his regrets. Yep, he was a jackass, a lot. And yep, he was ALSO a surprisingly nuanced person sometimes. But Jesus Christ on a bike. The people dragging him have ZERO character!
Gee I don't hear The Beltway Media losing their collective shit the way they did with Michelle Wolf.
