And remember Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach who headed up the now defunct Commission?

Well, he’s running for Governor of Kansas, and doing everything he can to look like a red-blooded, gun shooting, Jesus praying, star spangled American. That includes being a member of the advisory board for Veterans in Defense of Liberty, a group that claims to be helping veterans.

But, of course, like true Republicans, they are only helping themselves.

A review of the group’s 2014 and 2015 filings with the Internal Revenue Service showed that 94 percent of the money donated to the group went to fundraisers, according to a news release from the Better Business Bureau.

Kobach, who is not – repeat NOT – a veteran, said he has served on the board for six years “because he cares deeply about veterans and veterans’ issues,” but this was the first he heard about any of this money stuff.

Kobach said that his understanding was that money donated to the group was “going to a variety of causes for veterans … and also to support political causes and issues important to veterans as well.”

Veterans in Defense of Liberty’s website includes a July 2017 post calling on veterans to support the push to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

“Brothers and sisters, let us stand strong to our oath! We can no longer sit back and bitch ‘n moan,” the post states.

“We must realize, Americas future rests on our shoulders. President Trump is fighting to make America great again, but he cannot do it alone — we must stand strong and fight for and support him.”
