Purple heart giver= Joe the plumber?

Just saw this guy on Fox. Immediately I thought of JTP. Time to dig up why he did this. I am sure he got paid,is connected to T rump in some waThe timing, right after the recent controversy, is certainly suspect. The guy really was dumb too and only gave talking points when questioned.

I am sure that if we peel the onion we will see this was a managed event.

You did know it wasn't the original medal he was awarded, right?

Assigning nefarious reasoning to this thing puts us on the same level as Alex Jones.

sbout the fact that he didn't get the real PH from the guy! and LOTS of people are furious about his being so anxious to "get" one of his own.

just wait and see. they so very much want to push the $400 mill "payment", which the media are cooperating by calling it, even though it's THEIR money, and part of the nuke deal

just watch the media help them push it til it dies, at which point, they'll go on to the next BS that they either make up or can distort into a 'story'

He would not survive Trump media of 2016. He rests peacefully in the tomb of long dead sound bites hopefully never to be resurrected.

Has to be something. How did he gain access? I'll bet he is tied in some way to T rump's campaign.
