The Republican Party of Nevadas national committeewoman apologized late Monday evening for appearing to support a call for John McCains death earlier in the day. Diana Orrock, a former candidate for state assemblywoman who now serves as the states GOP committeewoman, praisingly retweeted a Medium article about McCains hawkish military views, titled, Please Just Fucking Die Already. As a caption to the tweet, Orrock added: Amen. Hours later, she removed the tweetand, after retweeting several far-right trolls like Mike Cernovich and Jack Posobiec, she finally addressed her earlier comment: My apologies to @SenJohnMcCain, @NVGOP & @GOP. Today's retweet was disrespectful. Sen. McCain is an American hero. I don't wish anyone harm.
