IAVA funders, board members, "partner friends" and benefactors read like a who's who of liberals and leftists. The Annenberg Foundation, Jonathan Soros, Rachel Maddow, Stephen Colbert, The Lear Foundation, The White House, Goldman Sachs, Viacom, and the Chamber of Commerce, are among the hundreds of individuals, businesses and foundations listed on their website
IAVA’s reps have been special guests of Michelle and Barack Obama numerous times at the White House. Its newest board members include Norman Lear and Rep. Patrick Kennedy. Rieckhoff is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and has blogged exclusively for the Huffington Post.
IAVA posing as a veterans advocacy group to push a leftist agenda is bad enough. But for Rieckhoff to claim they are apolitical and non-partisan while criticizing Trump, Palin and others for politicizing veterans’ causes is mind-boggling.

Why is this even a “story”? Trump has not offered to help this group in any way.
Yup, my ex-boss is a hard core marine and a yellow dog democrat. I’ve never understood it.
Maybe, just in case, they want him to know up front they’d rather take money from george (I’ll help load the boxcars) soros than from him. Just so he doesn’t bother to offer maybe.
They can’t reject something that was not offered.
That want to make it seem that Veterans Groups (in general) don’t want Trumps’ Money. They are the only group making claims even though they aren’t getting anything, and the media’s headlines are always something of the such “Veterans Refuse Trumps Donations”

Here is Trumps VA Health Plan. I can go anywhere under Trumps plan that accepts Medicare. I love this as I can go to Vanderbilt or if on vacation there. This is the best I’ve seen.
With the left, like any of their endeavors, it is more about the organization than being a veteran.
[Why is this even a “story� Trump has not offered to help this group in any way.]
There were many reports smearing Trump that “many” Vet groups were making a point to refuse Trump’s money.
Someone had the head of IAVA on their news broadcast yesterday He was a real jerk and finally outed himself as a Hillary supporter.
This guy who runs has be group is an anti Republican activist. He appeared on both CNN and Fox to attack Trump.
Msm invents the narrative and then finds hacks and liars to back up the false narrative.
It’s attack Trump at all costs. They feel their power to defraud the public is slipping away.
I don’t think there are many REAL veterans who would be pals with Georgie “Death to America” Soros. This “group” is a farce.
LOL! Leftist can then claim they were ‘denied’ help.

The truth about this *non-partisan* vet group is finally being exposed...another prop for the liberal establishment.
The leader of this group biggest priority was repeal of Dont ask Don’t tell and full acceptance of homosexuality in the military.
Think that pretty much explains the agenda of IAVA. Raised $6 million last year and spent only $80,000 on helping Vets. Its nothing but a PR front for a Leftist political action group.
Posted a dozen times, but good to see who is really behind this outfit
Once again the Trump haters think they’ve got him and turn out to be the Sore Losers.
True.
