Statement from Congressman Brian Mast, National Chairman of Veterans For Trump
Response to VoteVets False Assaults
Having seen stories on a baseless assault advert towards President Trump by VoteVets, a shill group funded by liberal elites, I felt compelled to level out this spot is as vile as it’s absurd.
Firstly, it cites a refuted declare debunked by senior officers who had been within the room years in the past. Recycling this faux information is made worse by exploiting the ache of members of the family of fallen troopers.
Biden and globalists of each events recklessly drag America’s little kids into infinite wars, then depart them susceptible to assaults overseas and horrible remedy right here at residence. Biden’s failed retreat from Afghanistan led to chaos and a disastrous end result for our troops, and his weak point amongst world leaders at present makes us extra susceptible than at any time in our nation’s historical past.
As President, Donald Trump handed the most important reform of the Division of Veterans Affairs in a technology, together with VA Accountability and VA Alternative, and he fired 11,500 federal employees who failed to offer our wounded warriors the standard and well timed care they deserve.
President Trump secured report funding for psychological well being providers, and he expanded entry to tele-health and suicide prevention assets. Throughout his first time period, President Trump decreased veteran homelessness, elevated academic advantages, and achieved record-low veteran unemployment.
As a veteran, a Member of Congress, and because the Chairman of Veterans for Trump Coalition, I do know that with Donald Trump again within the White Home our troops shall be safer, our vets shall be revered, and our world shall be safer.
The Hill reported on the VoteVets ad buy (excerpt):
The six-figure advert purchase will run within the Pittsburgh, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Harrisburg markets.
In 2020, Biden gained Pennsylvania, flipping the battleground state blue with a few 1.2 p.c margin.
That is the primary VoteVets advert purchase on this election cycle. The group was one of many greatest spenders within the 2022 cycle, dropping $24,473,501 on impartial expenditures, in accordance with money-in-politics watchdog OpenSecrets.
Politico reported in 2019 that VoteVets is funded by the George Soros Open Society Basis: “Soros’ foundation finances VoteVets, a left-leaning veterans group…” Breitbart also reported, in 2020, that Soros funds VoteVets.
