(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."

“The VA is socialized medicine, and thus should never have existed. Vets should receive money with which to buy insurance.”

Yes, and all the VA Hospitals should be privatized (or torn down if they are as bad as the one in New York with the ductwork spewing crap into the ORs).

The polls I saw were not good for us. Ryan has globalist cash too. We need to demand Ryan step down. He has already done untold damage, and even funded the terrorist “refugees”

MSNBC stepped in a gave Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald an opportunity to clarify his comments... (to totally change them) Then Chuck Todd must have been contacted by his democrat handlers who gave him a Vet who didn’t doubt the guy for a minutes.

The press works hand in hand with Democrats OR Chuck Todd and his merry band of liberal elites actually KNOW vets. And the odds of those types knowing even one vet is astronomical.

Central Casting ( DNC or Soros) provided Chuck with a shill... AND that's what passes for 'news'... I'm starting to be thankful for Zuckerberg... at least he wants to make an effort.
