Senators Sanders and Graham, on the silence from the White House

From the story, below:  On Sunday's State of the Union, on CNN, Senator Bernie Sanders discussed the recent ugly insult about John McCain, made by a White House aide--and the inability of the White House to apologize for it.

“It is beyond my comprehension. It is one thing in the White House for somebody to say something crude and stupid and disrespectful about an American hero. It is another thing for them not to apologize,” Sanders said. “So it is beyond my comprehension. And I just don’t know what goes on in that White House mentality for there not being an apology for that terrible remark.”

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said this, on CBS's Face the Nation:

“It’s a pretty disgusting thing to say. If it was a joke, it was a terrible joke. I just wish somebody from the White House would tell the country that was inappropriate [and] that’s not who we are in the Trump administration.”
