Buzz: Miller vs. Palin for VA Secretary?

Posted on December 1, 2016

Rep. Jeff Miller may have competition to be President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has told the media that she is under consideration for the position.

Her son-in-law, Sgt. Dakota Meyer, posted on his Facebook on Sunday:

Just because the GOP won, doesn’t mean the battle is over. More than ever we have to push our leaders to remember the promises our nation makes to veterans.

And I’ve never met anyone who supports our troops and loves our country more than my mother-in-law, Sarah Palin.

Yesterday Palin shared the post on her Facebook and added:

We should be grateful we’ll soon have a commander-in-chief who will champion our vets and honor the promises our nation made; a pro-private sector individual who surely understands bigger government is NOT the answer; a President who promised to drain the swamp and clean up all government corruption… all things our vets and active duty troops deserve

Palin campaigned for Trump and was the running mate of Sen. John McCain in 2008.
