“My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and family members of this most recent terrorist attack in Nice. We must put an end to the root cause of these horrific attacks consistently claiming innocent lives around the world. Until we defeat ISIS, the very way of life that America and her allies enjoy hangs in the balance. I will continue to call on this administration to accomplish the goal it set 22 months ago: to defeat ISIS – once and for all.”

Protecting VA Whistleblowers

Listen to Sen. Johnson's Senate floor speech here. 

Sen. Johnson's bill to protect whistleblowers from retaliation — a bill that won unanimous bipartisan support from Democrats and Republicans on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee — was blocked Thursday by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid.

“Rather than protect our nation’s veterans, Senator Reid prefers to play election-year politics, using the finest among us as a political football,” said Sen. Johnson. “Dr. Chris Kirkpatrick, a VA employee who spoke up about over-prescription of our veterans at the Tomah VA facility, faced such severe retaliation after blowing the whistle that he took his own life.  And this is how my colleagues on the other side honor him? It’s appalling to me that Senator Harry Reid would block this commonsense bill when veterans’ lives hang in the balance. The finest among us — and the memory of Dr. Kirkpatrick — deserve better.”
