Contradicting White House, Ousted VA Sec. Shulkin says "I Did Not Resign"

Source: Talking Points Memo:

The Washington Post/ Talking Points Memo:

David Shulkin, the ousted secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, contradicted the White House Sunday by saying he did not resign from that position. Politico on Saturday quoted White House deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters, who said: Secretary Shulkin resigned from his position as Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Asked Sunday whether he resigned or was fired, Shulkin told CNNs Jake Tapper: I would not resign because Im committed to making sure this job was seen through to the very end.

So you were fired? Tapper asked.

I did not resign, Shulkin said.

Never a day goes by without a big republican lie.

It's dangerous, all this lying. Not just wrong and toxic to truth, but DANGEROUS for America to be having a steady diet of republican lies pumped through the MSM, Inc. pipeline.
