Meghan McCain on Tuesday had a simple response to the news of Kelly Sadler’s departure from the White House.
“Bye, Felicia,” McCain wrote in an email to her colleagues at ABC, which was later obtained by the New York Times.
Meghan McCain had demanded a public apology from the former special assistant to the president after it was leaked that Sadler told fellow White House communications staffers it didn’t matter that Meghan’s father, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., wouldn’t support then-CIA director nominee Gina Haspel’s Senate confirmation process because “he’s dying anyway.”
“When I had a conversation with Kelly [Sadler], I asked her to publicly apologize and she said she would. I have not spoken to her since and I assume that it will never come,” Meghan McCain, a co-host of ABC’s “The View,” told ABC at the time.
“Bye, Felicia” is a phrase popularized by rapper-turned-actor Ice Cube in the 1995 movie “Friday,” and is used in a dismissive manner.
John McCain, 81, revealed in July he had been diagnosed with glioblastoma and has been in his home state since Dec. 17 undergoing and recovering from various treatments.
