Nancy Pelosi: Can't Say for Sure VA Deaths Are a 'Scandal'

It depends on what the meaning of ‘scandal’ is.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi explained in an interview with Vox founder Ezra Klein that the situation surrounding the Department of Veterans Affairs wasn’t quite a “scandal” in the official sense of the word.

Reports from agency whistleblowers and the mainstream media indicate that veterans are experiencing delayed care in Veterans Affairs facilities after employees initiated secret “waiting lists” for health services.

As many as 40 veterans have died waiting for care in a Phoenix clinic, according to reports.
