We're also fighting for our great veterans and taking care of those veterans who brought claims related to water contamination at Camp Lejeune. If we win the House and the Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible. I couldn't help but notice the word if. If Republicans win the House and Senate, You'll settle the claims, but look, even Donald Trump wouldn't have the balls to do a quid pro quo on sick veterans saying, if we don't win, there's no money. Right? So if we don't win, there's no money.
