Veteran’s Group To Trump: Keep Your ‘Cheap Publicity Stunt’ Money!!
El Trump is trying to make his petulant crybaby move to ditch the Fox News debate into a publicity stunt for veterans, but one group is telling him to shove his money where the sun don’t shine and I don’t mean under his toupee.
If offered, @IAVA will decline donations from Trump's event. We need strong policies from candidates, not to be used for political stunts.

The Founder and CEO of the “Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America” organization, Paul Rieckhoff isn’t happy with the attempt by Trump to exploit veterans for his political benefit.
Since we've gotten many questions: no, @IAVA has not heard from the Trump campaign and we have no idea what groups he's involving tomorrow.

Here’s more about the story from WISN:
At least one veteran’s group doesn’t want any donations from Donald Trump’s fundraiser for veterans.
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.
Rieckhoff did say that supporters are welcome to contribute to his group directly.
CNN is reporting that the Trump campaign hasn’t said what groups they’re giving the money to.
