YOU’RE FIRED! Trump’s VA Terminates 500, Suspends 200 for Misconduct

Nearly five hundred and fifty Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) employees have been fired since President Trump took office, making good on his campaign pledge to clean up “probably the most incompetently run agency in the United States.

The Daily Caller reports another 200 VA workers were suspended and 33 demoted as part of VA Secretary David Shulkin’s commitment to greater transparency.

Those disciplined include senior leaders, nurses, police officers, and doctors. Many of those in lower-level jobs in which the department has employed felons and convicted sex offenders were also fired.

According to the Daily Caller, scores of veterans have died waiting for care from the VA, but fixes have been slow to come by largely because the union, working with Democrats, has been more concerned with job security for government employees.
