The left wing Daily Beast is now trying to smear Donald Trump claiming he tried to pay veterans to be political props. Ironic that a left wing propaganda rag would claim Trump trying to use veterans or anyone as political props, yet has no problem when Hillary Clinton or Hussein Obama do it almost daily. Clinton used Gabby Giffords as a political prop during her anti-gun rant, yet there was no mention about this on the Daily Beast.

Liberty House is a scrappy veterans group in New Hampshire, with a small, $300,000 annual budget—one of the 22 organizations chosen to benefit from Trump’s multimillion-dollar fundraiser for vets.
On Friday, Liberty House executive director Keith Howard received a call from a Trump campaign staffer, who conveyed that Trump would like to publicly present them with a six-figure check at a Londonderry rally on Monday, right before the Granite State primary.
It’s an enormous amount of money for a small charity. But Howard said he wouldn’t do it—risking the entire, substantial donation on a point of principle.
Howard, a 57-year-old Army vet, objected to the use of veterans for political purposes. He doesn’t believe that his charity—which clothes the homeless, feeds the needy, and provides housing to 10 formerly homeless vets—should be presented with money by a political candidate at a political rally.
“This is not directed at the Trump campaign,” Howard said. “This is about any campaign.”
