A Veterans Affairs hospital in
Florida sensationally removed portrait photos of President Trump and
Secretary of Veterans Affairs David Shulkin after Republican congressman
and Army veteran Brian Mast demanded they be installed.

Accompanied
by a group of local veterans, Mast brought portraits of Trump and
Shulkin to the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center only for them to be
removed hours later by management staff at the hospital.

The photos were removed because management, “could not authenticate the photos and they have to follow protocol,” according to Fox News.

A
VA spokeswoman later said that the Congressman’s actions were
“inappropriate” and that the portraits needed to come from the VA’s
central office. No explanation was given for why the portraits hadn’t
been installed anyway almost two months after President Trump’s
inauguration.

Mast, who lost his legs in an IED blast while serving in Afghanistan, appeared on Fox and Friends this morning to denounce the move.

“This
is exactly what pisses people off about the government is they don’t
have that kind of reactionary capability to just fix a problem
immediately. Here we see they made an even bigger problem out of the
situation,” he said.

“There is absolutely a political end
to this,” added Mast, highlighting the fact that VA employee unions
campaigned for Hillary Clinton during the election.

As we reported earlier this month,
retired and active duty military personnel have launched a new
initiative – Vets For Trump – to show support for President Trump in the
face of constant efforts to undermine his administration by partisan
elements of the intelligence community and other government
bureaucracies.

The campaign is
reminiscent of a similar movement back in 2013 when numerous active duty
military personnel posted images of themselves in uniform on social
media asserting that they would not be used as Al-Qaeda’s air force when
the Obama administration was on the verge of using military action to
support jihadist rebels in Syria.
