(CNN)The White House on Friday refused either to acknowledge or disown a purported barb about Sen. John McCain's health by a communications staffer.

Instead, press secretary Sarah Sanders suggested questions about the incident were meant to sow discord among President Donald Trump's aides.

Kelly Sadler, a special assistant who handles surrogate communications, told other staffers during a meeting Thursday that McCain's opposition to Trump's CIA director nominee, Gina Haspel, does not matter because "he's dying anyway," a White House official told CNN.

"Certainly there is not a tone set here," Sanders said. "We have a respect for all Americans. That is something we try to do in both word and action."

1. Fecal spew.

[Achilleaze]

2. Abject moral cowardice (R)

There you have it. Believe what you see and hear. This is the Latter Day republican party: devoid of all honesty, integrity, courage, and honor.

[Mr.Bill]

3. They are too busy trying to figure out

who leaked it. That's who they want to fire.

4. Michelle Wolf was right.

5. I'd say Ms. Sanders needs a life, period.

"We have a respect for all Americans." She can't open her mouth without lying, can she?

11. Sanders: "I'm not going to engage in a back and forth with you [the press]"

Well, what the ever living Trump is your Trumping job description, woman?

[Still In Wisconsin]

6. Sarah, you are truly repulsive.

As far as I can tell Sarah Sanders has ZERO redeeming qualities. Zero.

7. Why do the WH correspondents let her get away with that insulting deflection?

8. Donald ridicules all POWs (captured) and now he lets this ride.

Donald ridicules all POWs (captured) and now he lets this ride.

The tone has been set for a while now.

9. Sarah sanders

Constipation of the brain, diarrhea of the mouth

10. Did she actually deny that it was said?

All I saw was SHS tap dancing around the issue, "We don't discuss internal matters."

My guess is that the WH is trying to hold out until enough news cycles have passed that this outrage has faded away.
