No apologies for sliming McCain? Lindsey Graham and Jeff Flake are Republican profiles in courage.
Republican lawmakers suggested on Tuesday that none of the members attending a GOP lunch with President Donald Trump would confront him about White House staffer Kelly Sadler, who mocked Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) brain cancer.
Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake argued that it was pointless to try to get an apology out of the White House.
“The notion that he’s going to change anything or say anything different, I just don’t see it. I mean, they’re not apologizing,” Flake said, according to NBC reporter Frank Thorp. “I suppose somebody could raise it, but I doubt they will.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a longtime McCain friend, echoed Flake’s remarks.
“I’ve said all I’m going to say about that,” Graham reportedly told CNN’s Lauren Fox.
