The Texas Republican who introduced a bill to put President Donald Trump on the $100 bill earlier this week argued during a CNN interview Thursday that American veterans are not entitled to a job at the federal government's expense.

Rep. Brandon Gill was asked during a CNN interview on Thursday whether he can assure veterans that their services will not be interrupted by cuts to the Department of Veterans Affairs. It was revealed on Wednesday that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), of which Gill is a member, plans to cut approximately 80,000 VA staffers throughout 2025.
