GOP Official Drops Support for United Way Because "Hitler Made the Trains Run on Time."

An elected Tarrant County official will no longer raise money for United Way, because the organization gave $9000 (out of $31 million) to Planned Parenthood in 2014. Justifying his decision to deny support for a huge number of charities because of this tenuous connection, he proclaimed "Hitler made the trains run on time!"

Reminds me of the time Ann Coulter praised Canada for sending troops to serve alongside our boys in Vietnam....

There is no stupid like GOP stupid.

And second, it wasn't true about him, either.
And third, he's just a greed-head who found a new way to tell charities to take a hike.
