Senate Republicans just blocked the PACT Act – critical veterans’ healthcare legislation that they supported just weeks ago.

You need to watch @SenatorTester’s response.

8. It's not like it pisses off their voters.

Any military connected folks voting for Republicans at this point are fascists.

9. *Sigh*

They will spend trillions ending people off to die at war, but won't spend a dime to help them when they get home. Remember this every time one of these scumbags claims to support veterans and our troops.

10. What was the problem

I saw these Republican talking heads on TV saying the Democrats tried to “sneak thru something unrelated” and that’s why they voted no. What was it then? I haven’t seen one mention of this “mystery amendment”.

11. Well....

Absolutely nothing. They are doing what they always do, they are lying. It's yet another example of the "party of personal responsibility" refusing to take personal responsibility for their own actions.
