Richard Shelby (Alabama)
Sen. Richard Shelby from Alabama voted against giving health care to veterans on Tuesday. His excuse was that the Democrats would spend the funding from the bill on other issues, which is a lie. The funding would have to be spent on veterans.
“Throughout my career, I’ve remained a strong advocate for our veterans,” Shelby said in a tweet. “However, the PACT Act would reclassify nearly $400 billion in VA funding, allowing Dems to instead spend that on their liberal wish list. I want to support the PACT Act, but this budget gimmick must be fixed.”
Again, that’s a lie. There’s no other way to put it.
