After dozens of calls for an official apology, the White House is still dodging questions over a comment made by one of its staffers.

White House spokesman Hogan Gidley on Sunday refused to comment directly on special assistant Kelly Sadler mocking Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) brain cancer.

Gidley, who was confronted about the comment on “Fox & Friends,” said he was not present at the meeting, and therefore he does not know “if the comment was even made.”

“Look, I wasn’t in the meeting, I didn’t hear the comment,” he said when asked if he thought the comment was “kind.”

1. Doesn't matter if you were

in the meeting. You're responsible for everything, fat boy, the comes out of that building. If she's allowed to stay, then it's on you, not her.

2. Trump has an army of people ready to thrw themselves on grenades

and yet, there are people ready to be the next meat shield, and a legion of people ready to accept the lies.

3. "Comrade Casino* is ignorant." - David Dennison (R)

4. He said the same thing about Obama.

"Some people say that was not his birth certificate. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. I'm saying I don't know. Nobody knows." - Donald Trump

The fact that a low level staffer is in a meeting where the president is attending, and she still felt comfortable enough to make such a comment in public before the entire group, shows that Trump's entire administration is rotten from the top down.

No doubt, Kelly Sadler has heard other Trump staff member say even far worse things than she did, with Trump himself leading by example.

5. They're stone walling to ignore it away.

6. There is something deeply wrong with this entire sorry crowd.

Every time I read yet another shocking story like this, I end up with the question, "What is WRONG with these people?"
It's shocking and depressing to see how lacking ALL of these people are in basic elements of humanity. It's not just Trump: ALL of them are dishonest, callous and cruel, corrupt, greedy, selfish, bigoted, homophobic, proudly ignorant, and zealously petty and short-sighted.
How much longer must we endure this wanton vandalism, and will we have a country left by the time we finally can stop them from destroying everything that is good about our country?
