Anonymous Coward User ID: 71988934 United States 04/08/2016 07:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Veterans’ Groups Line up to Reject Money from Trump Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America founder Paul Rieckhoff tweeted Wednesday that he would decline any contributions that came from the event, which Trump has proposed in place of his attending Fox News’ debate this week. “If offered, @IAVA will decline donations from Trump’s event. We need strong policies from candidates, not to be used for political stunts,” he said. Two other veterans’ groups also distanced themselves from Trump’s announcement. The Wounded Warrior Project said it was not aware of the candidate conducting any fundraising efforts on its behalf. Meanwhile, VoteVets.org, which calls itself the nation’s largest progressive veterans group, issued a statement titled: “Don’t hide from Megyn Kelly behind us.” |
