Meghan McCain said she's "surprised" that the White House aide who made disparaging comments about her father has not been fired.

"The thing that surprises me most is ... I don't understand what kind of environment you're working in when that would be acceptable and you can come to work the next day and still have a job," McCain, a co-host on "The View," said today on the show.
=================================
Just confirms my opinion is that the WH is a chaotic & toxic mess.

Why surprised? As distasteful, hateful, and spiteful as the comment was.

Actually, that is a good way to sum up Trump and those he would rather have around him. Anyway there is no surprise when Trump himself would act the exact same way.

Telling truth must always not be a firing offense, it should rarely/never be an offense at all....this just goes to show how bad people are now....especially the FAILED INTELLIGENTSIA!.

Same old song and dance from this WH.

And as expected, no real fall out from the right-wing. In this current climate nothing is over the line for conservatives. They are so committed to protecting their power, they'll stand by this WH and Congress through anything.

In this case nobody did anything wrong. I would be offended if Trump took any action here other than supporting the one who said it.

Two things:

1. Democrats had the same feelings about McCain that Trump did before Trump said them.
2. Things like this are said all the time in political meetings when they think no one is listening. This, and much worse things to be honest. Not very shocking like people are making it out to be.

Kelly Sadler is not an aberration of this White House; she's a trademark of it.

Can to provide proof of that?

It was sort of a good joke though, why fire the person?

Picture the WH meeting as one big locker room, this would qualify as locker room banter, and we all know locker room banter excuses all

1. Proof?
2. Examples (with proof)?

Actually some Republican lawmakers have come out and publicly condemned this woman's vile words. Of course one of them is Jeff Flake so people will just scream "RINO" anyway. I would like to hear from Senator McConnell on this.

Seriously, this. What exactly is she surprised about? This is the Trump White House. Did she seriously think that Trump and his minions would have even a little bit of common decency and decorum after the ignorant **** that man said about her father, Carly Fiorina, Ted Cruz's wife, Miss Universe, Megyn Kelly, etc. etc. etc.?

Sounds to me like Sadler is guilty of saying what she actually was thinking in a meeting where she thought she could speak freely. Evidently not. All the opposition against Haspel was unfounded and Sadler knew it. The only people opposing her confirmation turned out to be the majority of Democrats, John McCain and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed that opposed her.

Haspel was a great choice for CIA director, even Hayden, Clapper and Brennan said so publically just last month.
Former CIA Director: Gina Haspel is the 'Absolute, Best Choice To be the Director of CIA'

Yet McCain made a public push to urge his colleagues to vote against her. Haspel has served this country for 30 years often as an undercover agent risking her life in the name of protecting this country.

She is going to be confirmed after all the attempts to sully her reputation. Sen. Rubio in the confirmation hearings gave a wonderful reply.

And yet another despicable act finds an excuse. It is the democrats' fault, and McCain's fault.

Yeah, at this point I think the secret is out: bad people work for bad human beings.

On a related note, I heard something yesterday I thought sounded pretty smart: walk into an office that you're considering working in and look at the people working there. Are they happy? Miserable? Do they seem purposeful? Are they looking to stab each other in the back to get ahead?

Remember that you will never make them like you. You will always become like them so long as you work there.

A stark observation to be sure, but poignant.

 

[Skeptic Bob]

It was a horrible comment but I don’t think it is a fireabke offense. Granted, it wasn’t said about my dying father. I cut grieving families slack on their comments.

Oh it is a despicable act if anyone speak honestly or defy the Left. That's why the left are all gun ho on hate speech which they deem anything that goes against their grain. Sadler said something outloud that many are already thinking. The opposition campaign weighed on this patriot that has served her country for 30 years to help keep it safe was despicable. Just like about every nomination the Trump administration has put forth has been met with vile unjustified criticism

If you're the boss, it certainly doesn't have to be a fireable offense if you don't mind how that reflects on your organization as a whole. And if you're the boss in this particular organization, you clearly don't mind, judging by the total cast of characters who continue to work there.

Deplorables can't understand why decent people are offended by deplorable comments.

What I will never understand is why people that have been attacked by Trump reward him with their own protection.

He attacked Ted Cruz's wife and called her "dog face, ugly", said Marco Rubio was "little Marco", called Michelle Malkin a "lame brain", yet they support him publicly, or defend him in his scandals. Hell, Meghan McCain has defended the guy even after all his public attacks on her father.

I understand that politics is politics, but why on Earth would you help a man that has attacked your wife and kids, your father, your intelligence, you heritage, etc? It appears they are so committed to their ideology they are willing to throw all of their personal dignity aside in the process, if it means more power for the party.

Aren't things in the new "non-swamp" of Washington grand and classy?

Because people aren't too bright. That's why this great country is being led by the classless, vulgar reality TV game show host squatting in the White House.

The people who continue to support him in spite of what he said about them or their families deserve the **** he heaps upon them.

Thanks goodness the Bush family decided he wasn't worth crap after what he said about W and Jeb. They are smart. Too smart to be Trump Fan Nation citizens.

Classy? LOL a lot more damn honest? Hell yes.
