Montel Williams Proposes Temporary Fix to the VA’s Backlog

‘Come On!’: Montel Williams Demands Action from Obama on VA Scandal (Mediaite)

When talk show host and former U.S. MarineMontel Williams appeared on CNN’s Erin Burnett Out Front Thursday evening, he began by apologizing to President Barack Obama. But moments later, he was continuing his crusade to make sure something is done to help former soldiers who are currently being denied the care they need from the Department of Veteran Affairs.

“I have to apologize to the president of the United States, myself, right now,” Williams began. “I have to do so because yesterday I made a statement about something that he didn’t say at the speech at West Point and this has been politicized.” He was referring to an interview he gave on Fox News in which he went after Obama for not saying “‘I’m sorry for the pain that I’ve caused you, the families, and I’m gonna fix it today!’”
