Boebert defends vote against veterans’ health benefits, saying she didn’t want to spend ‘$600 billion forever’

Boebert faced off in a general election debate against her Democratic opponent, Trisha Calvarese. The Democrat pressed Boebert to explain why she didn’t support the landmark “Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our PACT Act,” which expanded benefits for millions of veterans who were exposed to toxins during service and are suffering illnesses as a result.

“If you’re going to take care of folks, what about our veterans, Lauren?”

The Republican said she voted against some massive omnibus bills that might have supported veterans, because “I’m not voting for something that we have 22 hours to read that’s over 2,000 pages long.”
