Bill O’Reilly took on Karl Rove over the management of the Department of Veterans Affairs during the Bush administration.
“The problems existed on the day President Bush left office,” the Fox News host said to Rove, who was a White House aide to President George W. Bush, on Wednesday evening.
He cited a 2008 report issued by VA to the Obama-Biden presidential transition team that said waiting times at the department were too long and threatened veterans’ access to health care. The report, obtained by CBS News, said, “the problems and causes associated with scheduled, waiting times and waiting lists are systemic.”
Rove responded that Bush doubled the size of the VA budget to invest in modernizing the department and succeeded in decreasing wait times.
