On Tuesday afternoon House Republicans walked out instead of voting on a bill before the Veterans Committee that would have helped more than two million women veterans.
Rep. Mark Takano the chairman of the Veterans Committee, shared a video of Republicans leaving the room.
“My Republican colleagues had a seat at the table every step of the way,” Chairman Takano posted. “Instead of bringing forth meaningful, productive additions to legislation that will improve the lives of women veterans, they added toxic, partisan amendments – none of which worked to address how women veterans receive care.”
“By attempting to hijack a bipartisan bill backed by 14 Veteran Service Organizations- including 6 specifically advocating for women veterans, they have left these veterans behind.”
