Rachel Maddow: āVeteransā groupā fundraising off Trump speech is really one guy in S. Dakota
And the fun part of this is that it is Rachel Maddow who exposed it:
This is Joel Arend's VETERANS FOR A STRONG AMERICA website:
http://www.veteransforastrongamerica.org/
And the info over the PAC itself:
Veterans for a Strong America Summary | OpenSecrets
So, let me get this straight. Trump does a 13 minute publicity stunt on board a mothballed battle cruiser for a group that has exactly ONE member.
This is fun.
And the fun part of this is that it is Rachel Maddow who exposed it:
Trumpās appearance aboard the USS Iowa, she explained, was an event benefiting Veterans for a Strong America, with tickets ranging between $100 and $1,000.
However, Maddow said, the Federal Election Commission filings for the groupās PAC reveal that, besides having only $30 cash in hand and $318 in debts, the organizationās only member is founder Joel Arends.
āDonald Trump was not in the military, but he did use a pretty military backdrop tonight to raise money for a non-existent veteransā group, which endorsed him formally as part of his introduction ā and he said they have hundreds of thousands of members,ā she said. āAnd they donāt. And so the whole thing is fake.ā
