The email which Walter referred to was sent by Kyrsten Sinema and included tools for capturing contact information and donating to her campaign to “help veterans and their families get the answers they deserve.”
Walter continued by saying:
“Seeking to further one’s political ambitions by using tragedy and heartbreak is not leadership, it’s revealing of a selfish mindset. Arizonans are tired of this type of behavior. I’m calling on Kyrsten Sinema to apologize to the families who lost loved ones at the Phoenix V.A. Hospital. I’m also calling on Sinema to refund all the contributions collected from her email appeal and match the refunds with a donation to a charitable organization that serves Veterans, such as Veterans Tickets Foundation.
My heart goes out to the families of the veterans who tragically lost their lives due to the avoidable circumstances surrounding the Phoenix V.A. Hospital. I’ve been carefully following the news regarding the investigation into the V.A. and I believe major crises like this should be handled with earnest resolve in a pursuit of truth. Tragedies like the Phoenix V.A. Hospital should not be politicized, ever.”
