Cindy McCain, the wife of John McCain, tweeted at a White House aide who reportedly mocked John McCain and his serious illness.

Here’s what Sadler said about McCain:
A White House official reportedly mocked Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and his battle with brain cancer during a meeting Thursday, The Hill reported.
“It doesn’t matter, he’s dying anyway,” press aide Kelly Sadler said about McCain’s opposition to CIA nominee Gina Haspel at a meeting of White House communications staffers, according to an unnamed source cited by The Hill’s Jordan Fabian.
Fox News White House producer Fin Gomez backed up Fabian’s reporting. Gomez said two White Houses sources confirmed Sadler’s comments about McCain.
CNN’s Jim Acosta also said an unnamed source confirmed the comments to him as well.
All the sources told reporters Sadler clearly intended the remark as a joke. But the “joke fell flat,” Acosta reported.
While some of these reports turn out to be false, no one is denying it, and it’s being reported that Sadler has called Meghan McCain to apologize. Again, we’re not big fans of McCain at this blog, but it’s pretty low to think it’s OK to mock him while he’s battling a deadly disease. Not that anyone cares anymore. #MAGA!!!
