UPDATE: White House Tells All VA Facilities to Hang President's Portrait
Fox and Friends FNC ^ | March 17, 2017 | Fox & Friends

Posted on 03/17/2017 8:35:06 AM PDT by HarleyLady27

The White House issued a directive to all VA facilities, instructing them to hang a portrait of President Trump, Ed Henry reported this morning.

"Fox & Friends" has reported on this all week after Republican congressman and Army veteran Brian Mast hung a portrait of President Trump and Secretary of Veterans Affairs David Shulkin at the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center.

The pictures were then taken down by staffers, with one reportedly declaring that President Trump was not his president.

Mast and local veterans spoke out against the move, though the management argued there was a protocol for hanging the photos and they'd need to be authenticated.

I was in the Chattanooga VA clinic on Tuesday and noticed there was no photo of President Trump so I asked why ???

I was told it always takes a while...

I informed the speaker that a photo of Obama was on their wall soon after he was inaugurated...

“..the management argued there was a protocol for hanging the photos and they’d need to be authenticated.”

I see some people being “asked to leave” that particular VA hospital in the not too distant future. Personally, in these cases it’s usually a case of “the fish stinks from the head,” so just “reassign the top management to menial duties in that same facility. Like washing bedpans.

No wonder why the VA is known for poor care of the Vets, with staff like this.
Fire them all.

When I first started at our local VA there was an 8x10 picture of George Bush in the lobby. After Obama’s election his photo was soon placed in the lobby. The only problem was it was an 11x14.

WOW, didn’t know the person who was elected was disabled..missing all or part of his two legs.

Good person to be behind the movement of getting the photo up

Kudos.

The portrait is presumably for the benefit of the Vets who must frequent the office. Just a wild assumption here, but one would assume given the fact that a picture hung in the halls of congress -— pigs depicting police officers, would be much worse than a portrait of a DULY ELECTED PRESIDENT. Hang the damn portrait. Suggestion would be to cover this with a sheet - much like BO’B did when giving a speech inside a Cathedral and he hung fabric over the Crucifix in order that no one be offended by gazing at Christ, our Savior. Some are easily offended - these are those who should never look in a mirror.

Mr. PRESIDENT TRUMP - WTP are behind you! WE ARE HERE. DO YOU HEAR US or should he shout louder to make our voices heard?

Its not just the VA, most government offices have yet to display the portrait of our newly elected President

Not only fired, but post his name, photo, and behavior on the internet. I hope he ends up living under a bridge and starves.

There, fixed it. If they post his address, for sure he'll end up living under a bridge.

Call your congressman Toll free (866)220-0044

I called Senator Corker, Alexander...

Congressman Fleischmann because the Chattanooga clinic lacks a pic of President Trump and is in the 3rd District

and my own Congressman Desjarlais in the 4th District where the Alvin C York VA hospital is in Murfreesboro..

Fleischmann and Desjarlais strongly support the veterans, Corker and Alexander not so much...

That was quick. But tell me, why is it taking so long to arrest Madcow for a felony committed in front of dozens of viewers?
