At yesterdays meeting of the White House communications team in the wake of a leak from the prior meeting of a callous remark about John McCains brain cancer a visibly upset and furious Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told the group: I am sure this conversation is going to leak, too. And thats just disgusting, according to a source in the room.
Sanders' prediction came true. What follows below is a leak from that very intense meeting yesterday, according to five sources in the room. The broad outlines of this meeting were first reported by ABC News.
In an emotional speech in the Roosevelt Room, Sanders lambasted the press and communications team for the leak:
Kelly Sadlers comment was inappropriate, she said, according to a staffer in the room, but that didnt justify leaking it to the press.
Sanders told the team that Thursday should have been a great day for the White House, especially with the historic photos of Trump welcoming the hostages released from North Korea.
But instead, that was overcome by saturation cable TV coverage about Sadlers comment. In Thursday's meeting of the White House communications and press team, Sadler said "It doesnt matter, hes dying anyway," in reference to McCain's decision to oppose Trump's CIA nominee Gina Haspel. The Hill first reported the private remarks. Since then, everyone from McCain's family to members of Congress to former Vice President Joe Biden has condemned the remark.

(30,481 posts)Not sure if they can even be called leaks at this point. With five people confirming it's more like standard operating procedure.
Interestingly enough, Sarah seems to get that.
