This is a disgrace.
A Gulf War Marine veteran named Albert O’Toole who served this country, took a blast that left him with TBI, and was later diagnosed with Alzheimer’s was beaten by his aide Matthew Cox inside the New York State Veterans Home in Montrose, New York.
His wife Angela Sangro became concerned after seeing unexplained bruises and heavy sedation. She installed a hidden camera. The footage shows the aide yanking food out of Albert’s hands, grabbing him by the neck, throwing him into a chair, punching him, and striking him in the head with a broom while he cried out in pain. No one came to help.
The state fired the abuser.
But the federal VA? Still has him employed. Still paying him while the case drags on.
You make veterans fight through hell just to get the benefits and compensation they earned with their blood and sacrifice. You move fast to cut or reduce what’s owed to them.
But when one of your own is caught on camera assaulting a defenseless veteran? You keep him on the federal payroll like it’s nothing.
@SecVetAffairs you talk about accountability. Here it is. Fire this man from the VA now. No pay. No protection. No more dragging it out.
@SecWar our warriors come home broken from fighting for this nation. They deserve better than a system that protects abusers while making veterans fight for every dollar they earned.
@SpeakerJohnson this is on you too. Oversight without teeth is just theater. Do your job.
This isn’t how you treat the men and women who served. This is a betrayal.
Veterans FIRST.
Zero tolerance for those who abuse them.
Immediate action. No excuses.
If you’re not outraged by this, you’re not paying attention.
Semper Fi.

PETE HEGSETH: "Just like the Christian crusaders who pushed back the Muslim hordes in the 12th century, American Crusaders will need to muster the same courage against Islamists today."
@RapidResponse47 Our President is living in a fantasy land where peace in thr middle east is possible. Hezbollah just wants to kill Jews. There is no peace as long as groups like Hezbollah and Hamas exist.
If you’re upset about a UFC fight on the White House lawn, can I remind you that not long ago the yard was packed with activists flashing their chests and a bag of cocaine being left behind?
You don’t have to like the fight, but spare me the lecture about preserving the dignity of the White House. That horse left the barn a while ago.
This woman claims to be on the Board of Pardons and Parole in Texas
She allegedly posted this after Karmelo Anthony was found guilty.
We reached out to @TDCJ but they declined to respond
Bought a $1,742.80 camera online from BestBuy.
The FedEx delivery driver stole it. FedEx admitted it.
But BestBuy won’t give a refund. They said we need to “work with local law enforcement.”
Thought everyone should know if you buy from @BestBuy and a @FedEx driver steals what you paid for, your money is gone. Neither company will make it right.
I’ve spent over $30K at BestBuy and will never spend another penny there.
🚨OH. MY. GOSH!!!
It has been revealed that the woman who was st*bbed 18-20 TIMES on the Atlanta train, 66-yr-old Margaret Swan...
...DID NOT RECEIVE ANY HELP AT ALL FROM FELLOW TRAIN PASSENGERS WHILE SHE BLED OUT ON THE FLOOR OF THE TRAIN
“She was screaming for help and nobody was helping her...”
Margaret was a mother of 3, grandmother of 5 and great-grandmother of 4.
According to CCTV footage reviewed by police, John Elijah Matthews, a homeless Black man, walked up to the Margaret and slit her throat within seconds.
Margaret screamed and tried to escape, but the suspect held her down and st*bbed her another 18 times before leaving her dead on the ground in a large pool of her own blood.
Fellow passengers on the train did nothing to try and help her as she screamed.
Absolutely horrifying.
