Montel Williams went on Cavuto yesterday and spoke very passionately about how we are treating our veterans. He was very upset that Obama didn’t use his speech at West Point to apologize to veterans and make the case that they were going to fix it once and for all. I got the feeling he wants to see the passion he feels about the reflected in how Obama responds to this issue.
Williams also pointed out that people aren’t even visiting our wounded vets anymore in the hospitals like they used to. He said he used to see celebrities visiting all the time when he would visit and Hollywood would always thank our vets when they did award shows and such. But none of that happens anymore.
I must say that I don’t know much about Montel Williams other than he’s had a TV show, but I love his passion for our vets and have a new respect for him because of it.
Watch the full interview below:
I don’t know much about Mr. Williams either but I have to say ‘bravo’ and God bless him.
He also mentioned something nobody else has, not to my knowledge at least - people don’t visit the wounded much anymore. And not the least of which are the celebrities.
We need patriots like you Mr. Williams - keep on talking...
How long before the left deems him an “Uncle Tom”?
Well, he is doing more.
He’s making our entire system just like the one the vets have, and that isn’t a good thing at all.
Furthermore, Montel Williams is a liberal democrat.
.... President Obama held up the VA medical system as a shining example of how well the Affordable Care Act can function. And in fact he also pointed out that parts of the VA Health system were included in his grand Affordable Care Act which of course in his delusional mind is functioning perfectly and saving most Americans buckets of money.
... The GOP and Tea Party should be plastering this all over the airwaves and social media instead of letting the Administration frame the issue as merely a funding and organizational issue.
When you’ve lost Montel, you’ve lost the country.
The cracks in this fraud are becoming wide and deep. I am hoping all this will soon come to an end. November of this year will prove me right or wrong. If wrong the great American experiment is finished.
He stated that he was a Marine before he went to Annapolis.
Obama is on the case
IIRC Montel has MS.
20 Questions with Montel Williams
Did you contribute to Obama’s presidential campaign?
Yes. [Long pause] I did … I will tell you, I was a late convert. I was a Hillary Clinton supporter until late in the process.
BJ Billy Clinton was a master at it. You hated him for it, but at least it was in a politician's skill set. This guy, not so much.
That's because no vets can get appointments to get admitted.
I went back and read a little bit of his history. Sounds like a Bush Basher.
Yep, but Mark Cuban was too
Wow I didn’t know Montel is RACIST! He badmouthed THE ONE! Oprah claims anyone who badmouths THE ONE must be RACIST!
The Veterans Administration (VA), mismanagement has been increasing yearly. Most of the problems started during the Lyndon Johnson administration and have continued to worsen through subsequent Government administrations.

I'll bet that dumb ass thinks things would have been different under Hillary. What a maroon!
It’s my understanding that Montel is a very nice man.
