I wasn't willing to do that. I don't think that's the right thing for veterans and I stood up against them.
I received a phone call saying that the President wanted to make a change, and that's certainly his prerogative to do that, and that's what happened.
VA OIG reports 'must be accurate,' 'must be fair,' and 'must be objective.' This report is none of those things.
I came to Washington with the commitment to make our system work better for veterans. That's the commitment that I went to work every day. I continue to feel strongly about that. There was no reason why I would resign.
