White House Official Apologizes for Joke About McCain’s Vote on CIA Director: ‘It Doesn’t Matter, He’s Dying Anyway’
White House Official Apologizes for Joke About McCain’s Vote on CIA Director: ‘It Doesn’t Matter, He’s Dying Anyway’
White House aide Kelly Sadler apologized to Meghan McCain for remarks she made about Senator John McCain’s opposition to Trump’s CIA pick Gina Haspel.
Said Sadler, a former editor for the Washington Times charged with sending press releases to reporters, in a meeting: “It doesn’t matter, he’s dying anyway.”
The remarks prompted a tweet from McCain’s wife Cindy, who said: “@kellysadler45 May I remind you my husband has a family, 7 children and 5 grandchildren.”

The Hill reports: “Sadler later called the senator’s daughter Meghan McCain to apologize, according to a source. Meghan McCain has not publicly responded to the comments herself, beyond retweeting her mother, Cindy, who chided the White House official.Sources told The Hill that they believed Sadler’s comment was intended as a joke, but that it did not go over well with others at the internal White House meeting. Sadler did not respond to The Hill’s request for comment, and the White House did not make her available for comment. In a statement, the White House did not deny that Sadler made the remarks, which came amid a discussion of Haspel’s nomination to lead the CIA and McCain’s opposition to it. ‘We respect Sen. McCain’s service to our nation, and he and his family are in our prayers during this difficult time,’ the White House said.”

HRC lamenta la muerte de Karla Patricia Flores-Pavón, una joven transgénero estrangulada en Texas
HRC lamenta la muerte de Karla Patricia Flores-Pavón, una joven transgénero estrangulada en Texas
HRC lamenta informar la muerte de Karla Patricia Flores-Pavón, una joven transgénero de color, encontrada muerta en su apartamento en Dallas, Texas, el 9 de mayo.
Según el The Dallas Voice, la policía confirmó que la víctima fue ahogada hasta la muerte. Si bien el perfil de Facebook de Flores-Pavón muestra su nombre como comenzando con una “K”, los informes policiales iniciales han deletreado su nombre con una “C”. Se conocen pocos detalles sobre el crimen, pero la investigación policial está en curso.
Amigos y aliados expresaron su desconsuelo a través de las redes sociales, publicando en mensajes en español. “Me duele mucho, eras una persona buena de corazón”, dijo Gia York Herrera, en una publicación de Facebook. “Hermana, vuela alto. Se te recuerda con amor y con esa sonrisa que siempre tenías hermosa”.
La muerte de Flores-Pavón es el noveno homicidio conocido de una persona transgénero este año y el segundo reportado de una persona transgénero Latinx.
Desde 2013, HRC ha reportado 113 incidentes de violencia fatal contra personas transgénero y de género no binario. De estos, 64 han sido víctimas de violencia con armas de fuego. En 2017, 16 de las 28 muertes fueron resultado de la violencia armada.
La Fundación HRC y Trans People of Color Coalition publicaron un informe documentando los descabellados actos de violencia que hicieron de 2017, el año más mortífero para personas transgénero según los registros, particularmente para mujeres transgénero de color.
