(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."

Ryan absolutely disgusts me. What a pathetic POS. The man has no shame.
You are SO right — Robert McDonald is an arrogant, clueless P.O.S. He was on a local talk radio show after he became VA head and wouldn’t answer direct questions and was downright nasty. “Do you know who I am?” “I graduated from West Point”, etc.
How about leading by example, you jack wagon.
The VA is socialized medicine, and thus should never have existed. Vets should receive money with which to buy insurance.
Ryan never served a day in his life, so he just doesn’t get it. That, and he’s a fence sitter waiting to see which way the wind blows. He reminds me of the Clinton years when Bill would wake up and check the polls so he could determine what he thought about an issue.
“I don’t know if he should resign. If the Saudis bought him, too, I can’t call for that or my funding might get cut off.”
“He should show empathy”
Typical liberal response. Don’t do anything but show them you “care”.
What a cheese curd-eating dickhead!
Ryan has got to go.
As a former CEO McDonald is being exposed as incompetent and causes one to wonder how he was a success in the real world.
Yeah, let’s ask Paul Ryan about Veterans.
He was the one trying to take money from military retirement and give it to the Democrats to buy votes with.
He really cares about Veterans.
Tells you all you need to know about Liberal Globalist Ryan.
Memo to Ryan: I don’t know if the VA person should resign but I do know that you should.
Trump can come onto this website and see why so many are for him...we have waited so long for someone to fight back.
Ryan needs to be Cantorized.
Ryan is a total jerk. I hope he loses in November.
“As a former CEO McDonald is being exposed as incompetent and causes one to wonder how he was a success in the real world.”
He wasn’t a success. After 3 years of poor performance as CEO he was fired by the PG board of directors and replaced by his predecessor. His firing was spun as a “retirement”. Almost immediately he was hired by Obama and confirmed by the Senate. Had the Senate done any real due diligence he would not have been approved. However today’s Senate seems content to rubber stamp the whims of the emperor instead of protecting the people.
