“And we got them accountability. You couldn't fire anybody in the VA. You had sadists. You had people that took advantage of our veterans. They've hit them -- they were seniors, they were sick people. You couldn't fire. You had thieves that were stealing, openly stealing. You couldn't fire. I got a bill passed, VA accountability. Now you look at the guy, you say: ‘Get the hell out of here. You're fired. Get out.’ Nobody thought we could get it for 40 years. They tried to get it for 40 years, they tried to get it, they couldn't get it.”
