Sen. Ossoff on Trump Administration’s Reported Plans to Fire Over 80,000 VA Employees

Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff, Ranking Member of the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Subcommittee, today released the following statement after The Associated Press reported the Department of Veterans Affairs is planning to fire over 80,000 employees.

“The Administration must immediately and publicly withdraw any proposal to gut the VA and imperil veterans’ care and benefits.

“Already, the chaos, incompetence, and disruption are unacceptable.

“Veterans earned their benefits through selfless service. It’s a contract, not a gift.”
