A member of the Republican National Committee in Nevada apologized after retweeting an article that begged for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) to die.

Diana Orrock, a national committeewoman for the Nevada GOP, shared a story headlined “Please Just F‑‑‑ing Die Already.” In retweeting the piece, which was published on Medium, Orrock wrote “Amen.”

Several hours after posting the now-deleted tweet, Orrock apologized to McCain and to the Nevada and national GOP, calling the ailing senator “an American hero” — and her own post “disrespectful.”

1. They are devouring each other now.

Disgusting scumbags, the whole lot.

[Blue_Adept]

2. "Disrespectful [but accurately representing her views]"

[Rorey]

3. Well, she should be "done" after that

But, they're Republicans, so.......probably not.

[cannabis_flower]

7. Yeah..

I think a lot of Trumpeters think it but don't say it.

4. To get an idea of what the original author thinks

and where her politics lie: https://twitter.com/caitoz

Not a good look

( no more comment... read her timeline )

8. Thanks, pathetic. Didn't find out what a "utopia prepper" is.

The phrase only brings her up, and I'm not reading her nonsense to find out.

[IronLionZion]

13. Maybe the opposite of doomsday prepper?

[Hortensis]

23. Hmm. Maybe. Perhaps she imagines she knows the

path to utopia and others should follow? She certainly posts enough to be a zealot. Whatever. Yuck.

[jmowreader]

25. I found out

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopia_(U.S._TV_series)

Fox bought the concept of this show from the Dutch. They built a village and stocked it with attractive, middle-aged men and women who would try to create a New Society from scratch and survive for a year...and be televised twice a week. Every month, three people would be voted off the show. It devolved into a bacchanalian madhouse, where the male contestants fought with each other all day and screwed the female contestants all night, almost instantly. Fox pulled the plug after twelve episodes.

26. Even as a teenager I kept that kind of fantasy to myself.

These days,

27. When you look at the cast members occupations ...

you realize that the Fox show recreated the population of the 'B' Ark ( http://hitchhikers.wikia.com/wiki/Golgafrinchan_Ark_Fleet_Ship_B )

5. Link?

[brooklynite]

22. Fixed

6. wow.

i won't even let myself say that out loud about the president or mitch mcconnell.

9. The mentality of someone who drops a cinder block off an overpass into traffic...

...and suffers remorse, right after they get caught.

10. If a Democrat disrespected a veteran: howls of carefully-calculated, prime-time-ready outrage.

If a Republican disrespects a veteran: 'Meh...'

[NeoGreen]

12. Moments after her tweet, McCain tweeted...

..."I want to go for a walk"...and..."I feel happy, oh so HAPPY!"

[mr_lebowski]

17. Can you come back 'round then, he won't be long!

[bora13]

14. feeding frenzy

in the piranha tank.

actually, they behave more like
piranha in the wild.

you should see how they react if you
throw one piece of dehydrated sausage in the water. they all attack it at once.

scatter a bunch of small pieces?

they create a disturbance so large that you would think you
were at an old fashioned lobster boil.
You can even hear the squealing of the imaginary lobsters as
the bits are devoured.

[onetexan]

15. Ah but don't they love each other

[TlalocW]

16. I don't wish death on anyone

But I won't be upset once he's gone in one way or another. His career in politics has been more negative than positive for America. He should have been gone after the Keating 5 Scandal, but his war hero, kind-but-stern grandpa act fools enough people into ignoring what a sack of shit he is.

19. I don't wish death on anyone either

but it would have been appropriate to suggest that he retire already. He's long past his expiration date. It is not chronological age either, some people can be sharp and functioning until 90, but McCain has been pretty fuzzy for a long time now.

I agree he has milked the "war hero" persona for far too long.

[sprinkleeninow]

20. The Keating Scandal. It also came to mind not long ago.

I said to myself, "Yeah, he was involved in that financial thing and is still representing as an
active U. S. Senator".
What the what?!
The party of goppers slogan:
"Sweeping the hovno under the rug!"
(Czechoslovak for s***.)

[Sunlei]

18. yesterday even trump said 5 words about McCain in hospital, then added"we need his vote"

Republican National Committee wants your vote McCain!

[murielm99]

21. I despise republicans,

but even I don't feel that way. That is terrible.

[Yavin4]

24. Well, all that Obama and Clinton hate has to go some where.

This is what happens when you build your party on hate. The party needs people to hate in order to exist.

[defacto7]

28. You say it, tweet it, publsh it.... you own it.

There's no salvation or forgiveness in public appologies in my book. It's a way to say something offensive and have the evangelical base appeased by asking forgiveness.

Eat it, Diana.

[GreenEyedLefty]

29. McCain entered my consciousness when he was vocally opposed to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

I might have been 12 or so at the time and recall thinking he was a real asshole.

He has always struck me as someone who is superficially principled but something of a coward. He talks a lot but doesn't do much of anything. I lost all respect for him during the 2008 campaign when he allowed that incompetent abomination Sarah Palin to be unleashed on us.

30. Republicans are such compassionate people

Busy eating their own

[lunasun]

31. This is how republicans treat each other, so imagine what they wish for us! Creepy foul minds

No heart
