<\/p>\nWhite House Official Apologizes for Joke About McCain\u2019s Vote on CIA Director: \u2018It Doesn\u2019t Matter, He\u2019s Dying Anyway\u2019<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n
White House aide Kelly Sadler apologized to Meghan McCain for remarks she made about Senator John McCain\u2019s opposition to Trump\u2019s CIA pick Gina Haspel.<\/p>\n
The remarks prompted a tweet from McCain\u2019s wife Cindy, who said: \u201c @kellysadler45<\/a> May I remind you my husband has a family, 7 children and 5 grandchildren.<\/p>\n \u2014 Cindy McCain (@cindymccain) May 10, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Hill reports: \u201cSadler later called the senator\u2019s daughter Meghan McCain to apologize, according to a source. Meghan McCain has not\u00a0publicly responded to the comments herself, beyond retweeting her mother, Cindy, who\u00a0chided the White House official<\/a>.Sources\u00a0told The Hill that they believed\u00a0Sadler\u2019s comment was intended as a joke, but that it did not go over well with others at the internal White House meeting. Sadler did not respond to The Hill\u2019s request for comment, and the White House did not make her available for comment. In a statement, the White House did not deny that Sadler made the remarks, which came amid a discussion of Haspel\u2019s nomination to lead the CIA and McCain\u2019s opposition to it. \u2018We respect Sen. McCain\u2019s service to our nation, and he and his family are in our prayers during this difficult time,\u2019 the White House said.\u201d<\/p>\n The post White House Official Apologizes for Joke About McCain\u2019s Vote on CIA Director: \u2018It Doesn\u2019t Matter, He\u2019s Dying Anyway\u2019<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\nSaid Sadler, a former editor for the Washington Times<\/em> charged with sending press releases to reporters, in a meeting: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter, he\u2019s dying anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n@<\/s>kellysadler45<\/b><\/a> May I remind you my husband has a family, 7 children and 5 grandchildren.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
