Whistleblower: Veterans 'died at the hands' of Russ Feingold

U.S. veterans “died at the hands of politicians” such as former Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., Department of Veteran Affairs whistleblower Ryan Honl charged in a new ad attacking the Democratic Senate candidate.

“I found out that Russ Feingold got a memo in 2009 that outlined veteran harm and nothing was done,” Honl said in the ad released Monday by Freedom Partners, a Koch-backed organization. “All those veterans who’ve come back wounded, and they die at the hands of politicians who look the other way.”
