“Gov. Pritzker is clearly consuming too much disinformation and needs to go on a news diet.” | VA Secretary Doug Collins

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs slammed a Democrat governor who sent out a mass email falsely claiming that veterans could be denied care based on how they voted even after the initial report had been changed and both the VA and the White House said it was false.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who has an eye on national politics, said he told state agencies to “take every available action to protect veterans’ access to care” after “reports that the Trump administration is proposing rules that would allow VA providers to deny military veterans healthcare based on their marital status and political affiliation.”
VA officials said those reports were incorrect. Three days before Pritzker ordered state officials to take action, VA Secretary Doug Collins had publicly said the report was wrong.
“This is completely and totally false,” a VA spokesperson said. “Gov. Pritzker is clearly consuming too much disinformation and needs to go on a news diet.”

Liar, Liar, Pants of Fire.
