If you don't do this, you're going to be proving to the American people that you are intentionally fear mongering with our veterans for political purposes. And that's shameful. Let me tell you why. This weekend I was in Sparta, Wisconsin, I met don. He's a 93 year old world war, excuse me, Korean and Vietnam veteran. And he was scared, he was terrified because he thought he's losing all of his care because you guys decided to politicize this. So you are terrifying Don on purpose and that's inexcusable. Don doesn't know how to get on a computer and look this up and find the appropriations bill proving that what you said is a lie. (03:33–03:46)
