Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) is demanding answers from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) after video recently surfaced of an employee brutally beating a 73-year-old Vietnam veteran at a VA clinic in Atlanta, Georgia, according to a letter first obtained by Breitbart News.
Roy wrote to VA Secretary Denis McDonough in a letter sent on June 27 about the assault, which occurred at the McPherson VA Clinic: “This vile display of behavior is horrifying and antithetical to the VA’s critical mission of caring for ‘those who have borne the battle’ in defense of our nation.”
The assailant, Lawrence F. Gaillard, Jr., is a VA patient advocate, according to Stars and Stripes. Gaillard was arrested and charged with a felony for the assault, but was ultimately released on $10,000 bond. He was suspended without pay, according to the VA.
McDonough issued a public apology to the veteran and his family at a recent press conference, but Roy argues that more needs to be done.
“[R]eports indicate that Mr. Gaillard is still employed by the VA. This, after his victim, veteran Phillip Webb, suffered several injuries and was hospitalized for three days with a ‘brain bleed’ as a result of the assault,” he wrote.

Where does Mr. Gaillard live?
Beat a vet, walk on a $10k bond (almost nothing).
“Parade” thru the Capitol in protest of a stolen “election”, no bond, spend a year in jail.
Justice in Bolshevik America.
Bttt.

Roy is right - more needs to be done. The jackwagon on unpaid leave needs to be hunted down, exterminated and forgotten.
I doubt it would be hard to find out.
Ought to be fired for cause
He’s a GS-11 making $70K a year.
Watch the video.
The Vet started it.
The response was out of line, though.
Is it odd that I only found one link to the story that showed a picture of the scumbag.
Guess even Breitbart is afraid to post his pic.
You say that the elderly gentleman started it. Really? How? Just what in your warped opinion did the old guy do to deserve a so-called advocate to lay hands on him in any way whatsoever? He is well paid to deal with situations of all sorts and he had plenty of resources available to him to deal with any situation in a non-physical manner. The punk needs to go to jail and get his ass whipped.
Watch the video.
The Vet is the first to get physical.
The VA employee’s response was out of line.
Of course, I already wrote that.
