(CNSNews.com) - House Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday stopped short of calling for Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald to resign over his comments comparing wait times at VA clinics to wait times at amusement parks.
A reporter told Ryan that Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) is calling on McDonald to resign. "Do you think it goes to that level, that he should resign?" the reporter asked Ryan.
"I don't know if he should resign. He should clarify his comments," Ryan said. "He should show some empathy for our veterans that he's supposed to serve. This really is just beyond the pale, a comment like this. It just shows kind of the arrogance of the federal bureaucracy.
"That's why we're working so hard up here to pass veterans legislation, to pass veterans funding."

How about standing up on your hind legs and acting like a man, instead of a suck up?
RINO Coward.
It’s time for RYAN to resign. He is an inept speaker - no leadership, no vision. PC all the way.
Ryan, you just don’t understand, do you? spit.
“That’s why we’re working so hard up here to pass veterans legislation, to pass veterans funding.”
Ryan’s a P.O.S.
Funding has nothing to do with it. Ryan can pass all the funding he wants, but if the Veteran Affairs funding is administered by an arrogant, clueless P.O.S like Robert McDonald who compares waiting in line to die at the VA hospitals he administers to waiting in line for a Disney ride, then neither he nor Ryan are fit to serve and both should be strung from lamp polls.
Let me help RINO Ryan out.
The VA should resign immediately!
He doesn’t know...because he hasn’t been directed what to say or think yet.
They will just pick another like the last one.
“When you go to Disney, do they measure the number of hours you wait in line? Or what’s important? What’s important is, what’s your satisfaction with the experience?”
Well Mr. McDonald, when one waits in line at Disney they are not worrying if they will be dead by the time they get on the ride. Maybe he wants veterans to just be satisfied with the anticipation of the great service they won’t be getting.
Ryan needs to grow a pair & if he's too far gone to do that, he needs to borrow a pair .... brass is suggested.
Can’t wait for Trump to ask him to step down.
This guy Ryan & Romney are one and the same...weak, with no backbone!!! GOP.....dump him...right now!!!
The puke needs to resign - but the VA guy needs to go too. I’ll bet President Trump will have some ideas about finding a VA guy that is capable of engineering a plan to actually take care of our vets.
Good grief.
This one is clear cut. If Ryan can’t even see this then he’s even worse than I thought.
Of course, it’s possible he sees it just fine and doesn’t care.
Either way, Ryan is disgusting.
Ryan, you just dont understand, do you? spit.
Nope. He just doesn’t care. Recall a couple years ago when Ryan tried to cut vet pay to fund welfare queens.
Whatta maroon.
You’re paid to know. Do you bleepin’ job for once.
My uncle passed away in a VA hospital on Saturday. I have no doubt Ryan would be singing a different tune if it was his relatives getting poor treatment in the VA.
