Vice President Mike Pence told the American Legion’s national convention in Minneapolis this week, “I promise you, this administration will not rest until we end the backlog at the V-A once and for all.” And Pence said President Trump signed legislation to ensure veterans receive the highest level of service across the entire V-A system. Audience members cheered when Pence noted that in a year-and-a-half, “We’ve already fired, suspended or demoted more than three-thousand-two-hundred V-A employees for negligent behavior. They’re gone.”
