Sen. Mike Crapo from Idaho voted against giving health care to veterans on Tuesday. His excuse was that “Democrats created a nearly $400 billion slush fund for additional unrestrained spending,” which simply isn’t true.

When local Idaho TV station KTVB tried to follow up with Crapo about what he meant, since there is no $400 billion slush fund, the network said it didn’t get a response.
