Military.com: White House’s Partisan Government Shutdown Messaging Features Veterans’ Organizations
Veteran Action “advocates for America First policies that strengthen national security and provide unwavering support for our veterans,” according to its website.
In its statement on the White House website, Veteran Action committed to a partisan stance. Founder and President Mark Lucas said that “Democrats are holding military families and veterans hostage over partisan politics.”
“Democrats are prioritizing illegal immigrants over our military servicemembers and their families. This is a Democrat shutdown,” Lucas told Military.com. “President [Donald] Trump and Secretary [Pete] Hegseth were able to pay our troops in the face of a blatant, partisan shut down led by [Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer.”
