Will Bachmann Give up the $10K She Got From Snarky Navy Vets Charity?

If you're new to the controversy, read Karl Bremer's summary of Bachmann's connections to Bobby Thompson.

Here's another article, this time from the New Mexico Independent that relates a similar tale about the snarky charity that allegedly kept up to 90 percent of the money raised from donors:

RS documents list Howard Bonifacio as head of the New Mexico chapter, and his address as 388 Boutz Road in Las Cruces. But that address is an empty field, the Attorney General’s Office found. AG officials could find no evidence in tax records or phone books that Bonifacio, or another New Mexico chapter official, Don Archer of 2698 Espina St., Las Cruces, really exist.

“We found nothing but some dirt and some mesquite,” Korsmo said. “And Howard Bonifacio is not in the White Pages of New Mexico; nor is he in the White Pages anywhere in the U.S. Until Mr. Bonifacio comes to talk to us, I’m going to assume he doesn’t exist.”

The U.S. Navy Veterans Association, formed in Tampa, Florida in 2002, is registered in New Mexico and 40 other states, and has annual revenues of $22 million, according to a St. Petersburg Times.

You'd think right-wingers who pretend to "support the troops" would be asking Bachmann and others to give the dirty $$$ she got from Bobby Thompson to the real troops.

She didn't mention Bobby Thompson or Navy Vets on this video of her appearance on "Troopathon".
