Cant make it. Got the wrong message. I mean, this is not a time to be weak on dense. Okay . Im the opposite. I want to make our military so strong, so powerful, so great that nobody is going to mess with us. I want to take care of our vets who are treated like thirdclass citizens. You know, two weeks ago on wednesday, our vets, as you know you probably reported on it, because you have a big problem here with vets that are not taken care of properly. Our vets had the longest wait in the history of the v. A. , waiting for doctors in rooms. They wait four, five, six days. In one case, they waited five days and the doctor said, sorry, im going on vacation now. So our politicians all talk, no action. Theyre all the same. Our politicians have let the vets down. Rand paul has let the vets down. He has let the vets down. You know, i dont blame him. He is doing so poorly in the polls. Ive been attacks by perry of texas. He went like a rocket shship. I was attacked by lindsey graham. He had two
You know, one of my favorite verses in the old book is from the book of jeremiah. Its hung over the mantle of our home, since i first ran for Congress Successfully in the year 2000.

It been painful but weve been in a constant, long march towards equality and yesterday its almost as if the president held up a stop sign and stopped history in its tracks. You think its safe to say that none of us have ever since anything like what happened yesterday. No, it was extraordinary and it was despicable and it was something we suspected around this team yesterday and people suspected across the country, that the president s initial statement about shacharlottesvi, the one he made what was in his heart and the one that he came out of that was forced to. His own Staff Members were lied to. They thought they were going to be talking about infrastructure. Im sure you can look at the pictures at the chief of staff, seemingly in mourning and he just went on this wild tirade. There you is a picture of the chief of staff doing everything he can to try to bring order to a white house and to a president who refuses to take that order and it really is dispickle. Thats why i think the
