Group rips Elizabeth Warren for ignoring vets [View all]

A Dracut veterans group is turning up the heat on U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, saying she’s ignored actual vets’ suffering in the Bay State while raising alarm over hypothetical deaths she says will result from an Obamacare repeal.

John MacDonald of Veterans Assisting Veterans railed against Warren in an appearance on “Fox & Friends” yesterday morning, then issued another open letter to Warren, the first of which they sent in February.

“It’s been sixty-seven days since Veterans Assisting Veterans first asked Senator Elizabeth Warren where her voice was for our nation’s veterans,” the letter reads. “While Elizabeth Warren predicts a disaster for the purpose of political hype, she has ignored the current disaster for veterans in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.”

MacDonald cited Herald reports last week that showed the Boston division of Veterans Affairs bungled one in six traumatic brain injury claims even after being warned by the Department of Veterans Affairs’ inspector general to improve, as well as the story of a disabled Dracut Marine whose private doctor discovered a mass on his brain that Veterans Affairs missed.

[font color=330099]Warren's office did not provide a comment regarding these allegations. I'm hoping that Warren or her staff addresses the complaint due to the power that the veterans constituency has on political races.[/font]
