Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called on the White House to apologize for staffer Kelly Sadler’s quip that his good friend Sen. John McCain is “dying anyway” during an appearance on CBS’ Face the Nation Sunday.
“If it was a joke, it was a terrible joke. I just wish somebody from the White House would tell the country that was inappropriate, that’s not who we are in the Trump administration,” he said, adding that it was a “disgusting thing to say.”
Sadler made the comment about McCain’s opposition to CIA director nominee Gina Haspel’s confirmation.
Watch below:
Awwww, isn’t that precious?! Lindsey’s trying to give the impression that he gives a flying fuck. I guess the heat is a little more intense than we thought. Usually Senator Closet Case doesn’t get involved unless the GOP’s ass is in a sling.
Day Late Dollar short Ms Lindsay
The whole fucking operation is disgusting and has been from the get go but you let most of it pass because ®
“I was going to defend my dying friend that I have always admired as being an American hero but it took me longer than usual because I had to stand here for a while with my finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing.”
So here we have Senator Graham explaining to this WH “this is exactly what you need to say in this situation”.
All of us are left wondering if they are too dumb or too insipid or too bestial, or all three to simply make an apology after word by word instruction.
Since the original statement eluded to the vote about torture nominee Haspel, I will go with bestial.
It was supposed to be insulting–that’s the point. It’s a feature not a bug. These are your people. And they rely upon you to stomp your little feet and talk about how disgusting they are, and then do what they say. And you play their game. Every time. And McCain did too.
