A North Carolina veteran is angry that someone in Democratic senator Kay Hagan’s office sent his private health records to another person.
“This wasn’t gotten over the Internet,” Kenneth D. White told a local ABC affiliate. “This was sent from the U.S. government. That’s all my personal medical records, all my personal information — sent to another individual. I’m appalled and I’m very upset about that.”
Hagan’s office instead sent the requested records to a man named Kenneth A. White. Both men agreed that her apology for the “clerical error” downplayed the “huge mistake,” as Kenneth D. White put it.
“When you send out a soldier’s information to another person,” Kenneth A. White concurred, “that’s not a mistake.”
The report came out Monday. Hagan didn’t have to explain the mix-up in person, Tuesday evening, because she skipped the final Senate debate with Republican state-house speaker Thom Tillis.
“The empty chair in Kay Hagan’s place tonight is symbolic of her record of failing the people of North Carolina in the U.S. Senate, where they’ve seen Hagan’s empty chair at crucial hearings on the threats of ISIS and Ebola as well as over half of her Armed Services Committee hearings on national security,” Tillis campaign manager Jordan Shaw said after the debate.
