I.B.E.W. Union Leader Calls Disabled Veterans Worthless Burdens


 IBEW Union Leader Disrespects All Disabled Veterans 

 "You’re all worthless burdens, deserved to lose limbs & Die"
Debate over the decrease in veterans’ benefits included in the Murray/Ryan budget deal recently passed by Congress has been heated, but not vicious — until now.
Air Force Sr. Airman Brian Kolfage Jr., a triple amputee and Iraq war veteran, said he received a vile message on his Facebook page from union executive Janet Vrotsos, according to the conservative news site, Pat Dollard. Here’s a screenshot of the message:

The entry reads:
You disabled veterans are worthless and all should have died, shame on you for fighting in a republican war, you deserved to lose all you limbs and I hope all veterans lose their benefits. I hope you die a miserable death you worthless fake hero. You and your family will be a burden on tax payers for your entire life. (sic)
The Dollard article reported that Vrotsos is a director of Local 2222 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and is, or at least was, an administrator of an anti-Republican Facebook page, Republican Family Values.
