Liberal talk show host Rachael Maddow slammed Arkansas Senator John Boozman and three other Republican senators for not voting yes on a bill to help veterans transition into civilian life.
Maddow said these four killed the bill, even though they also wrote it.
Senator Boozman's Press Secretary Patrick Creamer says the report was full of distortions.
Creamer says the senator voted against the bill because Democrats did not allow for any amendments and it did not have a funding mechanism.
He also says the bill isn't dead, because the speaker can bring it back anytime.
