Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach sits on the advisory board of a Missouri-based veterans’ group that received a failing grade from the Better Business Bureau this week.

Kobach, a candidate for Kansas governor, is listed as a member of the advisory board for Veterans in Defense of Liberty, a Springfield-based nonprofit with a stated mission of upholding the Constitution.

He said he would be reviewing the group’s finances after a Better Business Bureau report that found only a small fraction of the group’s money actually goes toward veterans’ issues.

“This is the first I’ve heard of any suggestion that the monies raised by the charity aren’t going to the various causes for veterans,” Kobach said Thursday.

3. Reminiscent of dRump fanboy Joel Arends and his Veterans For a Strong America:

https://nonprofitquarterly.org/2015/09/17/the-fake-vet-nonprofit-that-sponsored-trumps-uss-iowa-speech-on-veterans-issues/

"There is no point to dissecting Donald Trump’s speech on the deck of the U.S.S. Iowa for the nonexistent specifics of his plans for improving services for American military veterans. The host of the event was an organization called Veterans for a Strong America. Ever heard of them? No? You’re not alone. ..."

D rump wound up getting shamed into giving the money his Arends event raised to a military charity, after WaPo caught him stealing and lying. He gave it to wacky NY nazi Fed James Kallstrom's Marine Corp Law Enforcement Foundation.

The repugs are always supporting our troops.

Is another losertrian piece of crap that seeks to turn 90% of this country into sefs for the top elite.

Let them eat cake he screams. Why the hell does these idiots keep winning is truly a mystery.

5. "a member of the advisory board" ... Must not be advising much.

[DonViejo]

6. Any guesses as to how much he's being paid for his "advice"?

7. All of them are crooks! I am just waiting for one of them to utter ...

'I am not a crook!'

8. Receiving a failing grade from the Better Business Bureau....

just means that you're not greasing the right palms at the Better Business Bureau. That's always been my take on the BBB anyway. I've never known them to be an honest, consumer-friendly agency. They will almost always take the side of the business in any dispute if the business is paying "their dues".

9. Sounds rather familiar doesn't it?

Who else ran a bogus veterans fund?
