Toxic atmosphere in the White House

On May 10, White House staffer Kelly Sadler made her utterly disgusting comment about Sen. John McCain.

She said why worry about his opinion about the nominee for CIA director Gina Haspel because he is dying anyway.

A day later, Sarah Huckabee Sanders was more concerned not about this message representing the highest office in our land but rather how it got leaked.

Clearly her concern is suppressing what is really going on behind closed doors at the White House and not the toxic atmosphere that exists there, which to anyone with any shred of common sense and common decency would be shocked about.

This is why she wants it hidden.

She enables this deceit.

Perhaps Sadler will apologize, though if so it's clearly from pressure to do so having been exposed to the backlash similar to what Donald Trump faced over his weak initial reply about the actions of the white supremacists, KKK and neo Nazis at Charlottesville when he said there were "nice people on both sides."

It was only after backlash at his at best naive comment that he did what he should have done initially - unconditionally condemned them.

Doesn't it make you wonder what is happening on a day-to-day basis that we don't hear about? Where there is smoke there is fire.

Thank God for the press to do its due diligence to get at the real story this White House is trying so hard to conceal.
