The secretary of veterans affairs, Bob McDonald, refused to apologize for comparing VA wait times to Disneyland wait times earlier today on MSNBC.
“Wait times are important but it is not the only measure of veterans experience. That’s what veterans are telling us. We talked to a lot of veterans. It is important and if I were misunderstood or said the wrong thing, I am glad i have to correct it,” said McDonald.
UPDATE: Later on Tuesday, the secretary said, “If I was misunderstood, if I said the wrong thing, I’m glad that I have the opportunity to correct it.”
