VA Secretary clashes with reporter for spreading ‘rumors’ about DOGE | News World

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary Doug Collins accused a reporter of spreading “rumors” and “innuendo” about the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) actions at the agency in an interview that went viral on social media.

In a clip posted to his X account on Tuesday, Collins confronted Military.com reporter Patricia Kime about her February 5 article entitled, “Elon Musk Aide Is Now Working at VA and Accessing Its Computer Systems.”

Collins pulled out a printed copy of the report and accused Kime of trying to “scare” veterans by citing unconfirmed rumors about DOGE’s actions at the department.

“All I seem to be doing lately is fighting back against innuendo and rumor stories… In fact, Patricia, part of it is with you,” he said, handing the paper to Kime.
