Thom Tillis actually said...

"This bill actually has already passed the House back in February without any controversy."

"Much of the swamp was there before you all came in to start draining it, but we have got to make sure that we just keep on working on positive messaging and do the best we can for the veterans."

"One thing I am really counting on you all to help us with is identify good ideas, it is a matter of timing; not so good ideas, it is a matter of evolving maybe the original aims of the bill."

"there has never been an attempt to privatize the VA for the reasons that I have said before. It does not make sense."
