House Republicans have sent a letter to Secretary of Veterans Affairs Denis McDonough, criticizing his department for making “baseless political talking points” about the GOP legislation to raise the debt ceiling while cutting future spending.
In a May 4 letter led by Rep. Jen Kiggans (R-Va.), a former Navy helicopter pilot, 56 House Republicans fended off the department’s criticism against the recently-passed Limit, Save, Grow Act, after a vote of 217–215 on April 26 mostly along party lines.
