Quick Glance: Anger as Republicans reject bill to assist toxic-exposed military veterans
- On Wednesday, comedian Jon Stewart slammed Republican senators for unexpectedly halting a bipartisan plan that would increase healthcare access for military veterans exposed to toxic burn pits.
- It quickly passed through there.
- However, on Wednesday, 25 Republican senators who had previously backed the bill voted against moving it forward.
- Republicans did not support the bill, according to Texas Republican John Cornyn, because Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was preventing votes on amendments Republicans wanted.
- Republicans blocked the veterans bill just after Schumer of New York and Manchin of West Virginia announced a pact on a broad tax and environment bill.
