White House Refuses to Apologize for Aide's Comments Mocking John McCain
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The White House has still not yet apologized for the comments of one of
its aides, Kelly Sadler, who dismissed Arizona Senator John Mc Cain's
criticism of CIA director nominee Gina Haspel, saying, "It doesn't
matter, he's dying anyway." Mc Cain, a former prisoner of war who is
battling stage IV brain cancer from his home in Arizona, has voiced his
opposition to Haspel's nomination, tweeting, "Haspel's role in
overseeing the use of torture is disturbing & her refusal to acknowledge
torture's immorality is disqualifying."
