Discussion: WH Staffer Still Hasn't Apologized For Remark About 'Dying' McCain

Okay, they’ve got the prayers but where are the ‘hopes’?

And I don’t believe she will apologize because Trump views apologizing as a weakness. So while she’ll prosper in the short run while working for Trump, I believe even Republicans won’t forget this in the longer run. She’ll be as hireable as Sean Spicer.

Most likely, Sadler never will. Both she and the regime will just move on and forget it happened because it’s not important enough for them to remember.

Another reminder, GOPers – this is exactly how the trump administration would treat any of you if you were terminally ill.

okies, this is Caesar Rodney

Now its possible that McCain might stay in Arizona and get his affairs in order, but it would be funny as hell, if they lost this vote, because of two simple words.

Trump will remember all of this, should Haspel take a ‘L’.

Of course, they all figured that out by now Kelly, Sarah Hamhocks, Kellyanne, all of them never apologize, doing will guarantee a kick in the behind all the way to the Potomac.

Yep, I think he should not come back to DC, and spend the rest of his term and his days in AZ denying the GOP his vote. Just as a last FU to Dumpster. At least that’s what I would do.

Basic human decency toward a member of their own party is missing in the trump camp. To me, what else needs to be said?
A very dear an long time friend said to me in October of 2016 “Let’s give trump a chance”. As well as I could I did. It lasted about a month I think. It crashed and burned when I heard trump bragging about the size of the inauguration crowd in January 2017 and then was sealed utterly at the first full cabinet meeting when each secretary was made to kiss the Emperor’s toes-- in public…for the cameras. It was a meeting with a “Dear Leader” moment. The personal loyalty harkens back to Hitler and the German Army pledging personal loyalty to him and not the nation.
As I said. Basic Human Decency is missing from the trump camp

Any apology from this moron is worthless.

Due to Manchin saying yes, ‘Cecil’ doesn’t need McCain’s vote.

If McCain were to show, it would be a plus (not sure of the magnitude) for Schumer.

Even genuine apologies, motivated by true regret, don’t completely make up for what was done. So you can imagine this clenched-teeth one. I give her a morsel of credit for calling Meghan McCain, and I give Meghan credit for its not going well. There’s no law of God or humanity that says you have to accept an apology. She got caught, is all.

I think it may be a question of spending the effort needed just to get to DC in his condition. He can spend little energy and still accomplish what you offered …a last FU to trump. In that I applaud McCain.

“We respect Senator McCain’s service to our nation and he and his family are in our prayers during this difficult time.”

“Why pray?..he’s dying anyway.”

It was grotesque that the remarks were uttered. It was grotesque that some called it a “joke.” It was grotesque that Sanders strained credulity by saying she wasn’t going to comment about remarks made in a private meeting. It was grotesque that there was no apology. This administration is grotesque.

Why is it when the GOP are called out on something asinine that they said there go to excuse is it was a joke? I call BS on that one. It was beyond the pale of civilized discourse but then Trump and his minions are all outside that line it seems.

What in H E double toothpicks do you think they were praying for?

What I’d like to see is one of those miracle recoveries and for McCain to comeback to DC and vote his conscience for the rest of his term.

It’s possible Sadler would lose her job for publicly apologizing after McCain made it known Trump was unwelcome at his funeral. An apology would deny Trump that customary vengeful inflicting of indignity for which he lives and breathes, White House standards be damned.
