Mercedes Schlapp, the White House strategic communications director, stood by aide Kelly Sadler after she made a controversial joke about Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who is battling brain cancer.
Schlapp, a potential candidate for communications director, said during a closed-door meeting Friday that she supports Sadler, according to a report from Axios.
“You can put this on the record … I stand with Kelly Sadler,” she reportedly said.
Schlapp was trying to get across the point that when a staff member is targeted by a leak from other members of the staff, then the communications team should support the staffer subjected to the leak, a source told Axios.

Of course, the liberals are all in an uproar over this remark, but honestly, I’ve heard a lot worse from them.
And where are these leaks coming from? Someone in the White House? Maybe Trump himself?
