As a vet...I'm relieved that Jackson is not going to be the head of the VA. He has no experience leading such a large organization and would have surely mucked it up. The truth is, is that the VA has few friends in DC--it's seen as a money pit. The VA needs a non-partisan, experienced leader--who can stand up to the indifference.[And it looks like they got away with it since he has withdrew his nomination and will no longer be the WH physician. Retirement is on the horizon I would suspect.
WHY? Jackson may have withdrawn his name, but he came out of this unscathed - his reputation, his career untainted, as it has now been proven that the Democrats despicably lied and made false accusations .... again. Not only has it been made clear that Liberals repeatedly engage in this disgusting pattern, it has been revealed that the US / Vets just lost a good man for the job due to the 'criminal' character assassination attempt by Democrats...
I'm withholding my opinion as to whether or not he is blameless as regards some of the allegations leveled against him. I do feel that he should have stuck it out..if he had nothing to fear. No, I don't think that biased Right-wing sources are enough to 'clear' him. They may be right..they may be wrong--but they have an axe to grind as well..and a deplorable..Lol, did I say that??...Deplorable record of accuracy.
I also feel that the allegations needed a hearing--Jackson should have been able to face his accusers...and I believe that anonymous sources should have no credence.
