BREAKING: Donald Trump digs his MAGA knife deeper into the backs of our brave veterans as his Department of Veterans Affairs fires another 1,400 employees — a staggering loss for the already understaffed organization.
And it gets even worse...
Trump's minions terminated 1,000 workers earlier this month but apparently that wasn't enough. The infamously dishonest administration is claiming that the employees fired were "non-mission critical" probationary employees who have worked there less than two years.
The truth is that ALL of the VA's employees are crucial because the department was already struggling before the cuts. This is just another blatant effort on the part of Trump to gut the government to pave the way for privatization and tax cuts for the rich.
Republicans won't be satisfied until the VA is completely replaced by predatory private companies that offer inferior services for exorbitant prices.
"These and other recent personnel decisions are extraordinarily difficult, but VA is focused on allocating its resources to help as many Veterans, families, caregivers, and survivors as possible," insisted VA Secretary Doug Collins in a statement.
"These moves will not hurt VA health care, benefits or beneficiaries. In fact, Veterans are going to notice a change for the better," he added.
Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee ranking member Richard Blumenthal slammed the "illegal termination" of these additional employees.
"Doug Collins continues to put the interests of veterans last with additional indiscriminate firings of VA employees," stated Blumenthal. "We know these terminations are already impairing the Department’s ability to deliver timely and quality care and benefits to veterans, especially as it works to serve more veterans than ever before."
"These men and women were arbitrarily fired because Doug Collins views them as nothing more than a statistic for his press release," he added.
The firings have reportedly created widespread chaos and concern at the VA, which is responsible for caring for the healthcare and benefits of roughly 9 million veterans.
"There is an almost total lack of transparency and communication here," Senator Angus King told reporters. "I don’t know who’s in charge of these firings. I don’t know whether it’s the Department of Government Efficiency, or the White House, or who.”
Given that Donald Trump is himself a draft dodger, this betrayal should come as no surprise — but that doesn't make it any less horrifying.
Our veterans sacrificed their minds and bodies for this country. Now, Republicans are hanging them out to dry. YUP A TYRANT IS MUCH BETTER.
