White House aide who joked about John McCain "has been dealt with, internally"
From CNN's Kevin Liptak
The White House insisted on Monday that Kelly Sadler had apologized to the McCain family for
her insensitive comment about Sen. John McCain and claimed the matter was being dealt with internally.
“It’s going to be dealt with, and has been dealt with, internally,” deputy press secretary Raj Shah told reporters.
Pressed why Sadler hadn’t issued a public apology, Shah pointed back to her private phone call with the McCain family.
And asked how the matter had been dealt with internally, he said: “If I explain all that, it won’t remain internal.”
Shah said Sadler remains a White House employee, and came to work on Monday.
