What WH Aide Kelly Salder said about John McCain…
“Thursday, multiple media reports said White House communications staffer Kelly Sadler dismissed concerns about McCain's opposition to CIA nominee Gina Haspel, saying, ‘It doesn't matter, he's dying anyway.’"
To which the WH replied…
“The White House did not dispute the report about Sadler's remark, but issued a statement saying, ‘We respect ‘Senator McCain’s service to our nation and he and his family are in our prayers during this difficult time.’"

How’s it anymore salacious than what Prof. Randa Jarrar said about Barbara Bush…
"’Barbara Bush was a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal,’ Jarrar wrote in one tweet which immediately drew negative attention online.
The professor, whose bio says she grew up in Kuwait and Egypt and moved to the U.S. after the Gulf War, continued her criticism of the Bush family and the war in Iraq, and defended her tweets against those who took offense.
‘PSA: either you are against these pieces of [expletive] and their genocidal ways or you're part of the problem,’ Jarrar wrote in another tweet, ‘that's actually how simple this is. I'm happy the witch is dead. can't wait for the rest of her family to fall to their demise the way 1.5 million iraqis did.’
In one reply tweet, she appeared to boast about being a tenured professor, implying that the university could not fire her over such comments. ‘Sweetie i work as a tenured professor. i make $100K a year doing that. i will never be fired,’ she replied to one Twitter user who said when Jarrar starts ‘loosing writing gigs’ she won't think it's funny.
In another tweet, she tagged the Twitter handle of the university's president, and argued it was her right to free speech that would protect her.”
To which Cal State Fresno replied…
"'Cal State Fresno released a statement Tuesday night extending condolences to the Bush family and distancing the university from the professor's views. ‘We share the deep concerns expressed by others over the personal comments made today by Professor Randa Jarrar, a professor in the English Department at Fresno State,’ Fresno State President Joseph I. Castro said in a statement. The statement went on to say Jarrar's comments ‘were made as a private citizen, not as a representative of Fresno State,’ and said her views are contrary to the university's core values.”

So one is given the benefit of Freedom of Speech whereas the other is vilified in the press. Not to mention Sadler’s comments can be taken literally as McCain’s absence from the Haspel vote is pretty much guaranteed. He’s in hospice care, yes? Contrast to Jarrar’s comments which are pretty freaking unambiguous in their rancor. So the real question is, why does Randa Jarrar still have a job? Why the double standard. It’s just one more example of sensational journalism; i.e., “Fake News.”
And for those of you liberals still hung up on Trump’s “McCain is not a war hero” comment I repeat what I said earlier. Thousands of POWs returned home from WWII and Korea without a hero’s welcome. Nor did they expect one. Hell, Vietnam vets were spat upon! So I ask rhetorically, what has happened to us culturally between then and now. How about distortion by the mainstream media or rather, outright propaganda. Things that make you go hmmm.
I thank you and have a blessed evening!
