If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

This is powerful from military veterans about Alex Pretti.
"They took his life. Don't let them take his name."
"They took his life. Don't let them take his name."
Trump and his allies are already smearing Alex Pretti’s name instead of confronting the truth.
Veterans who served our country and lived because of the VA are outraged. Alex was a VA nurse and hero, not a villain.
