A veteran who asked Hillary Clinton about prior comments minimizing the Veterans Affairs department scandal at NBC's Commander-in-Chief Forum Wednesday said the Democrat didn't quite answer his question.
After the forum, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow posed the question of wondering what the veteran, Sgt. Kenneth Anderson, thought of the response Clinton gave of whether she thought the VA was in good shape and taking good care of veterans because of a past comment she made saying that things were better than the media portrayed them to be.
Maddow then turned to correspondent Hallie Jackson, who asked the veteran what he thought.
"Did anything that you hear from Secretary Clinton in that answer move the needle for you?" Jackson asked. "Did it help you come to a decision either way?"
"No. I still think I'm undecided," Anderson said. "I don't know if she really answered that question for me ... I guess my question is, does she think the problems in the VA have been exaggerated and that it's really not so bad. So, I didn't quite get that out of her answer."
Paul Rieckhoff, the founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, who sponsored the forum, was more blunt in assessing Clinton's answer.
"She didn't answer it. She didn't answer the question," Rieckhoff said.
