St. Jude Family Fights Back After Getting SLAMMED For Thanking Eric Trump
So Eric Trump raised $16.3 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. A woman thanked him on Twitter and now she says “the hate that has come out is unreal. Unreal.”
So unbelievable! For heaven’s sake people get a grip. It’s St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. You know the hospital that helps kids with CANCER!? Their hatred knows no bounds.
Does the hatred of the far left know no bounds? This is truly sick.

The saga began when the woman responded to a tweet from Eric Trump plugging St Jude’s, calling it “the best cause in the world!”
“It has truly been one of the most important and meaningful missions of my life,” he added.
She was grateful.
@EricTrump Thank you for your commitment to St. Jude. This St. Jude family is eternally grateful.

The woman would later explain in a video she did for the #WalkAway movement that her nephew, Zachary, is a cancer survivor who was treated at St. Jude’s at just 4-years-old and that she was forever grateful to the hospital and its staff, who are still helping the child deal with the aftereffects of his treatment.
“So I vow to say thank you to anybody who helps make that hospital run,” she said.
When Trump responded to her tweet, she said “the hate that has come out is unreal. Unreal.”
She was also accused of being a Russian bot.
I have news for you all. I am not a Russian bot. I just happen to be grateful to people that help my family and that includes @EricTrump Get a grip sometimes people have a different way to see the world.

Here’s what she had to say in her #WalkAway video (which has now been either deleted or hidden).
“This whole thing that is going on with this… the [vitriol], the angry… the nastiness, just the hate that is surrounding the president and his family and just anybody who is affiliated with him at all is just… it’s just awful,” she said.
“Now you’re gonna attack a charity? You’re gonna attack a St. Jude family, someone who went through hell for four years” she continued. “Come on now. So I’m seeing where they just have no boundaries. They don’t care. They have no conscience [whatsoever].”
“I don’t understand how we have become so hateful in our society. I don’t get it and all I did was say thank you,” she added.
Well, you’re not allowed to do that! That makes you a HACK! How DARE you be grateful!
That was me. The #WalkAway folks have been amazing and now their support has greatly outnumbered the nastiness. They even tracked down his fundraiser for St. Jude and donated. I am in awe.

Here is the deal. I said thank you. the nasty tweets went crazy at my twitter, Eric, and the hospital. I don't care what you say to me. The hospital should have been left out of the crazy replies. St. Jude should be Sacred. Why can't people just be kind to one another?

I just got the memo. I am sorry I got it late. Apparently, saying thank you is a political move. It can no longer be out of kindness, it MUST be for political reasons. Got it! #GiveMeABreak

and now I am going to go finish the paper I put off writing to argue pointlessly. That was my fault I should not engage. I know better.

Keep resisting with hatred, Dems. We’ll see how that works out for you in the midterms… They still just DON’T get it.
