This is exactly the wrong kind of partisan message for a VA Secretary and cabinet member to send in a moment like this.
But it’s also not surprising.
This is what he always does. Even now.
And it only makes things worse for everyone. Especially our veterans.

Happy almost Thanksgiving from NYC. A time when we should especially be thankful for all our military, first responders and law enforcement out there holding the line. The disgusting shooting in DC today is a reminder of how many are out there doing their jobs—tonight & throughout the holidays.
