A Disloyal Remark
A White House staff member
Is in the news
Having refused
To apologize publicly
For her comments about John McCain’s
Political position and influence
Articulating her pretense
By saying,
“He’s dying anyway.”
It was a flippant remark
Indicating insensitivity
While also highlighting a stance
That the Senator’s opinions
Don’t matter
And can be discounted.
The staff member
Should be fired –
Not for the remark –
But for forgetting
President Trump’s
Fundamental belief
That dead people vote.
