Huizenga Calls on VA Secretary to Resign
Washington,
May 26, 2016
Today, during an interview with WHTC, Congressman Bill Huizenga (MI-02) called for VA Secretary Robert McDonald to step down following the Secretary's out of touch remarks that compared wait times at the VA to waiting in line at Disney:
Veterans have died waiting to go see a doctor. Not to mention the fact that the VA tried to hide the wait times by creating secret lists. Unfortunately the Secretary, who has a background in business and was brought in to run things differently, can't seem to get things turned around. This is a huge problem. The VA is not serving the men and women who deserve to be served and who have been told this would be there for them. It is a promise that is being broken by this administration. I think Secretary McDonald needs to resign. Congressman Huizenga's full interview with WHTC is available here. |
