To date, amputee vet Kolfage has raised over $18 million to build President Trump’s wall. He has been mocked by has-been actress Alyssa Milano and failed comedian Jimmy Kimmel for his effort to keep Americans safe. George Takei, the actor who played Lieutenant Sulu on the TV series Star Trek, mocked Kolfage & those who support a border wall going so far as to suggest they are racists. Libs are even attacking Airman Kolfage’s coffee company, leaving racist reviews so people won’t buy his coffee & he won’t be able to support his family.

Shameful to threaten his family.

What does his amputation have to do with anything?

Nobody should get death threats, but it happens all the time no matter which side of the aisle you're on. Some people have been known to fake a death threat. As for the mocking, well, he did put himself out there. As far as failed comedians, I'd love to fail as bad as Jimmy Kimmel has. I e-mailed the GFM guy, thanked him for his service, wished him well, commiserated over his amputations and added we would have to agree to disagree on the wall. I figured he'd get some loony contacts.

Make it more of a sob story I guess.
Anyways...i thought private donations couldn't be used to fund government projects. But then again, it's not for the US to pay for anyways if I remember right.
I'm just confused.

It’s in the thread title so OP obviously thinks it’s a critical piece of info.

It sure is. Shows how much he has given to our country. If you can't see that I feel sorry for you. Just sit back in your easy chair and make fun of him. SMH is true.

Yep. You gotta expect to get some positive and definitely some very bad negative reactions. I dont agree with the guy but death threats? Absolutely not. I would NEVER put myself in the spotlight. Waaay too many nuts out in the world looking to get their 15.

Anyone who puts themselves out there is at risk of getting a death threat, unfortunately.

Now that Mexico is paying for the wall, though, it's all a moot point. He can return the money to the people who donated and nobody will think much more about him or send him death threats anymore.

I expect the money to start a non-profit. So the guy who started it can milk a couple of million out of the fools who donated.
