“Don’t tell me that you’re really overly concerned about veterans if you’re allowing the riots to get to a point where we can’t take care of our veterans,” Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins told The Daily Signal in an interview.
Because of the riots, more than 600 veteran appointments were canceled, and the Veterans Affairs Los Angeles Ambulatory Care Center was closed the entire week. The Los Angeles VA Regional Benefit Office is also closed.
Amid the riots, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass have blamed President Donald Trump for the violence, saying his deployment of National Guard and Marines exacerbated tensions.
“They should have looked at this much more in depth and not with a political stance of illegals who come into our country, who fly other flags and claim to be a part of something that frankly, there’s a privilege to be here in this country as a citizen and to other things,” Collins said.
