Published April 11, 2024 | Video Starts at 02:24

We talked about this. You came to our office. But there's absolutely no place for this in this committee at all. And I believe that Mr. Takano should publicly apologize for this. Donald Trump will not be destroying the Veterans Administration as we know it when he is elected as president. Okay. I did not plan on doing that. But I'm not going to stand by and listen to this political garbage in this committee at all. Okay. VASP serve. (02:24–02:31)
