In reaction to Ann Kirkpatrick’s latest
explanation of why the VA whistleblower was ignored by her office, Andy Tobin
released the following statement today:
“When a whistle is blown that veterans are
dying in our own state, the ranking member of the Veterans Affairs Committee
needs to do more than have a staffer just email. Congresswoman Kirkpatrick’s
explanation on this is unacceptable and embarrassing to our state, and I am even
more horrified to hear that she actually believes this was handled
appropriately. This is particularly troubling given Congresswoman Kirkpatrick’s
previous votes against ensuring veterans received their benefits and against
ensuring veterans’ memorials remained open during last year’s government
shutdown."
“Our veterans deserve our full commitment
that we will care for them. It is our responsibility as elected officials to
make sure that commitment is being met, and Congresswoman Kirkpatrick clearly
does not understand that, which is both sad and unacceptable.”
