every employee of the VA, and every veteran, now has definitive proof that Doug Collins does not have their back and will exploit their death for political gain
the focus is rightly on Noem but this is disqualifying and he should resign or be impeached as well

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when theyre murdered, but thats what happens when youre in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world
We can confirm Alex Pretti was a nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. As President Trump has said, nobody wants to see chaos and death in American cities, and we send our condolences to the Pretti family. Such tragedies are unfortunately happening in Minnesota because of state and local officials refusal to cooperate with the federal government to enforce the law and deport dangerous illegal criminals.

is a scumbag or not. In that sense there is nothing new to see here. Nobody paying attention could have expected better from Collins or the VA.
