VoteVets Statement: GOP Screwing Veterans

Washington, D.C. –  Today, in response to Senate Republicans voting to advance their “Big Beautiful Bill,”  VoteVets released the following statement: 

“The GOP is getting ready to prove – once again – they have no problem screwing Veterans in order to give tax breaks to their billionaire friends. After watching Elon Musk literally take a chainsaw to federal agencies and fire thousands of Veterans, Republicans did nothing. When the VA Secretary planned to eliminate 80,000 VA jobs including crisis hotlines, Republicans did nothing. And now, Republicans are falling in line behind a bill that raises costs and assaults healthcare service members and military families depend on. Donald Trump can pretend to care about Veterans with performative stunts like his birthday parade, but the proof is in the pudding when it comes to how his administration and GOP led Congress treats us. Every Republican member of Congress will need to answer for this bill, and telling constituents to ‘get over it’ or reminding them that they’ll ‘all die’ isn’t going to cut it with Veterans and military families. VoteVets will make sure voters know exactly what these Republicans have been up to.”
