Head Of Vets Group Criticizes Biden’s Pick For Head Of VA | Morning Joe | MSNBC
No offense to vets but the government only cares about you when your fighting and dying for them after that your just money they don’t want to spend…
What would be he Nazi party say if he appointed Hunter Biden to be in charge of everything like the orange fascist did with Kushiro?
I guess Trump picks are a lot better. At least you know what kind of crook your getting.
The bad pick is whoever msnbc picked to do these segments. They keep cutting people off mid sentence… I’d like to see the whole thing!!
he just mad that biden choosed a black person.
Help homeless Veterans.
YOU NEVER MAKE HAPPY TO THE PEOPLE ALWAYS COMPLAIN
You would think that with 19 million Veterans in the US, we could find a qualified Veteran to head up the VA. As a Veteran and a Biden supporter, this offends me, but I will give the president-elect the benefit of the doubt. I will be following this closely as will many of my fellow Vets.
26,000 annual sexual assaults and a suicide epidemic in the Military means you have severe problems to work on.
And now, ladies and gentlemen it begins!! We’ll be hearing for the next 4 years: Trump never did this…. Amnesia is setting in already. Maybe, just maybe the Biden VA pick will actually do something for veterans…
Agree with the veterans, but sometimes it’s nice to have an insider because he has political capital to get things done. But it also mean does this political insider want to really transfer the veterans groups.
Yeah we need a black woman veteran, can we vote him out?
You tell em Paul. The VA needs to be run by someone who knows what the VA needs to help our Vets.
Thought I agree that Biden should have picked someone who was a Veteran, how about we see how his pick does in the job before we tear them apart.
Shaq Diesle got it right, lotta hand wringing about these choices but when the fascists put up their unqualified cronies….crickets. Double standards in the media much?
So people voted for Biden holding their nose because Trump was, is destroying this country.. Now, we’re just back to the everyday normal of MONEY Is what dictates everything.. With that said, us PROGRESSIVES WILL NOT BE QUIET AND GIVE BIDEN AN EASY TIME!!
Guys stop cutting like blind butchers, sure its not a film but it isn t neither amateur stuff!
This clown railing on the VA pick just railed on the pick for the Trace that run the Pentagon and he’s a retired army General and that’s not good enough? That’s need to shut their pie hole when they said nothing especially this guy when Trump calls vets losers and suckers where was he then? So ignore what he’s ranting about the choice to run the VA needs to be a civilian because civilians run the country not the military
This Veteran is telling the VA to lose the BIGOTRY.
A bunch of white Klowns with issues.
They have been avoiding the National Problem for four years.
Where is, “All ENEMIES, foreign AND domestic?”
What happened to protecting our Nation from subversion??
Joe Biden must be able to pick the Sec.Of Defense.
He is the potus.
The VA are letting their DUMBASSRACISM show.
And it ain’t pretty
Yummie……… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqpEbQmX1oo&feature=emb_logo
Worker is needed. More work than you can imagine. You think but you don’t do…get to work and fix what has been done.
This is a non-starter for me. Now everybody has a issue with every single cabinet pick. If the man, whether he is a Washington insider or not, is capable and with a proven track record, let him do the job. He does not need to be a Veteran to be effective. The key is to be aware of the issues and come with sensical ways, and being a Washington insider helps, to address, prioritize and solve those issues, many of which are already public knowledge. That also comes with surrounding yourself with a talented and experienced staff, some of which could be veterans.
Look, any pick from Biden is way better than what we have now under the orange menace.
Cue tips real issue is Biden picked a black man. Cue tip is just another racist republican.
