Meghan McCain, the daughter of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), on Friday responded to reports that a White House staffer made a joke about her father “dying,” by criticizing the “environment” of the White House.

“I don’t understand what kind of environment you’re working in when that would be acceptable and you can come into work the next day and still have a job, and that’s all I have to say about it,” she said Friday on ABC’s “The View.”

On Thursday, The Hill was first to report that White House special assistant Kelly Sadler mocked John McCain for “dying,” by saying his opinion on the nominee to run the CIA didn’t matter because he was “dying anyway.”

  2. Dear Meghan McCain,

    Welcome back after your three year-long nap! What a different world we’re living in now, eh?

    Love,

    Ken in MN

    (PS: What’s that smell coming from your hair? It smells like dookie…)

  3. Perhaps Ms. McCain should try to figure out why she is part of the inhumanity of the GOP today.

  4. I don’t understand what kind of environment you’re working in when that would be acceptable and you can come into work the next day and still have a job, and that’s all I have to say about it.

    Don’t understand? It’s a toxic cesspool. That should be obvious by now.

  5. Cuz anything goes Meghan, didn’t you get the memo?
