Democrats scrambled Wednesday to tamp down anger among veterans groups who objected to the party’s choice of Rep. Corrine Brown of Florida as ranking member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee.
Compounding the anger was the Democratic leadership’s treatment of the sole veteran among the panel’s Democrats, who was briefly ousted from the committee on a technicality and thus made ineligible to seek to become ranking member.
As a result, Rep. Brown was the only Democrat seeking to serve as party leader on the committee that has been a watchdog for the Veterans Affairs Department’s wait-time scandal and the implementation of the new VA reform law.
Ms. Brown was the most senior Democrat on the committee, but veterans service organizations had wanted Rep. Tim Walz of Minnesota, who served 24 years in the Army National Guard, to get the top job. They complained that Ms. Brown rarely attended hearings and wasn’t willing to question the status quo at the scandal-plagued VA.

Somebody please tell me this is a satire post?
WTF?
Well .. that just PERFECT. She won’t understand what’s going on and nobody will understand what she says.
What could be better for the dems ..?? They hate the military and they don’t care what happens to our heroes.

This has to be satire, right? Corrine Brown is the stupidest person in congress. She may be stupidest organism in the current biosphere. Have you heard he speak?

Corrine Brown? I’ve seen smarter boxes of rocks.
I only open this thread to post her Go Gata video. Beat me to it. Imagine the constituency who thought she was the best to rep them. Heaven help us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgbBP9Em00A
OMG! Maxine Waters has a twin sister! And a brother by another mother by the name of Hank Johnson! A lot of “villages” are missing their idiots.
Awesome! She’s an idiot. She’s a huge embarrassment.
What a disgrace, tells you what they think of the position.
Corrine Brown is another one of those (expletive deleted) card carrying Communists!!
I spent three years in SouthEast Asia killing Communists, and these (expleted deleted(s)) go and crap on me by putting COMMUNIST in charge of this (expletive deleted) committee???
She is incredibly dumb. Terminally dumb. I am speechless.
Hilarious! Was watching, sitting alone, and laughing out loud.
If you think she (and her homies and homegirls) are world class idiots just think about the people who vote for them.

In my 45 plus years as a disabled combat veteran I found out just because you are a veteran does not make you pro veteran. Some of the worst committee members over the years on congressional vet committees have been veterans”
I'm also a US military veteran. But I am not a combat and/or disabled veteran.
And I will never forget the vomit level inducing arrogance of a “war era” (but not an actual combat vet) who scammed the VA out of over 40K of health and education benefits, in his old age, decades after his military service, due to hearing losses.
He openly admitted it was most likely caused by his love of extremely loud music, and had little if anything,to do with his stateside military service.
Perhaps Ms. Brown (among the potential Democrat minority members selected to be on this committee ) might actually inadvertently actually be the better choice.
She does probably comprehend the scope of scammers of government programs by citizens.... Possibly better than any of us honorable veterans. Just saying...
