AP’s Julie Pace: Undermining Problems with VA Will Follow Hillary

AP Reporter: Hillary Clinton Undermining VA’s Problems Will Trail Her Through Election Day (The Washington Free Beacon)

AP reporter Julie Pace on Wednesday night predicted Hillary Clinton’s comment that problems with the VA are overblown will continue to follow the candidate as she navigates through the Democratic primary and into the general election, should she get the nomination.

“The Hillary Clinton comment, sometimes when you do this job you hear a candidate say something and you just know that that is something that is going to trail her through Election Day next year if she is the eventual Democratic nominee,” Pace said on Special Report with Bret Baier.

Clinton drew criticism from Republicans and veterans’ groups for dismissing scandals plaguing the VA under the Obama administration. When she was asked how she would fix the healthcare system set up to help the nation’s veterans, the Democratic frontrunner blamed Republicans for using the VA for political gain.
