WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A top Republican has urged the White House to speak out against an aide who mocked Senator John McCain’s brain cancer during an internal meeting, but stopped short of calling on U.S. President Donald Trump to apologize.

South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a close friend of McCain, told CBS’s “Face the Nation” program in an interview to be aired on Sunday that he was not satisfied with the White House’s response to the controversy surrounding Kelly Sadler, a communications aid.

“It’s (a) pretty disgusting thing to say, if it was a joke, it was a terrible joke,” Graham said. “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.”

What am I missing here? It is the truth, he is dying. It is something else to watch the left lovefest for McTraitor after all those times the media bashed him all those years.

Top republican...Graham...Pffft! He ain't no republican either, he is on the same side as McTraitor.

McCain asked for it. If you behave like an a-hole, you deserve to be treated like one.

It was a tasteless joke. Whoever reported that statement out of the meeting should be fired. This leaking from WH sources has been going on for almost a year and a half. Why hasn’t it been made policy yet that ANYONE who leaks information from the WH (even if it’s inadvertent) is fired?

They HAVE to know who the leaker is by this point. Why is he being protected?

Enough already about McPain. I don’t hear anyone asking all the multitudes of NeverTrumper Republicans to apologize for their rude and unaccceptable comments about the president!

Is that pansy now the face of the GOP? Seems like he's on television more than the President.

Sure, just as soon as the terminally ill McTraitor says he’s sorry for all he’s done to help the demonrats and foreign enemies destroy the US.

Reuters - of course.

You know what they say about English girls’ knickers, don’t you? “One Yank, and they’re off”.

Oh Please! All this continuing discussion about one comment by one person no one knows anything about. No the White House shouldn’t bother denouncing some staffer and btw McCain is a bitter old jerk.
