An Alabama mayor has a message for celebrities who pledged to leave the U.S. if Donald Trump was elected president: Don't let the screen door hit you on the way out.
Orange Beach Mayor Tony Kennon posted a message on his Facebook page announcing the creation of a GoFundMe page to raise money to purchase bus tickets for "celebrities, athletes and other high-minded elitists who are traumatized by the new Trump era."
The tickets will take the protesting celebrities to Tijuana, Mexico, and not Canada, a destination mentioned by many, Kennon said. Even before the election, celebrities ranging from Miley Cyrus and Cher to Barbra Streisand and director Spike Lee said they'd exit the US if the Republican nominee defeated Hillary Clinton.
Kennon's GoFundMe page is appropriately titled "Don't Let the Screen Door Hit You." Fourteen donors have contributed $230 a far cry from Kennon's $10 million goal in the past two days.
"Let us not forget those who promised to leave the country if Trump won," Kennon said on his Facebook page. "For us loving and sensitive Trump supporters, it is imperative that we help those downtrodden, multi-millionaire Hillary supporters find a better quality of life in Mexico or any other third world country for that matter and in the process help them gain a little perspective of reality instead of their worthless hyperbole."

While some people are appreciative of Kennon's efforts "please allow some help to go to the poor souls at Berkeley and elsewhere who never worked a day in their life and want to relocate," one $10 donor said - others aren't laughing.
"New Movement. #Boycott Orange Beach," a GoFundMe commenter said.
Their response is “We are Democrats, so we always lie.”
For the price of a cup of Kopi...won’t you sponsor a crybaby?
They have plenty of money. Let them pay their own way.
I am not tired of winning! LOL
We need to start one to send Cher to Jupiter.
I particularly want Samuel L. Jackass move to South Africa like he promised.
Jupiter, Florida. Isn’t that where Burt Reynolds lives? Maybe these two could “hook up.”
Another reason I love Orange Beach. It’s been a second home for me for 30 years.
Nice shopping in that area.
Yes indeed, and some great places to eat too.
Conservative, and the demographics are the icing on the cake!
I hope to retire there soon as my parents did.
Better report it as income.
I would donate to that.
I love it.
I’d like him for MY mayor.
Send them all to Venezuela and let Saen Penn pilot the plane to his beloved country that he thinks is so great......Cuba would be another option. Let them experience what the left wanted to do to us.
