Chris Suprun, a 42-year-old Republican presidential elector, wrote in the pages of the New York Times <\/a>that he will not cast his vote for Donald Trump. For some reason, it seemed important to him to include this in his screed;<\/p>\n

Fifteen years ago, as a firefighter, I was part of the response to the Sept. 11 attacks against our nation. That attack and this year\u2019s election may seem unrelated, but for me the relationship becomes clearer every day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

WFAA<\/a> writes that part about him being a first responder to the tragedy at the Pentagon appears in almost every paragraph he writes, but they call into question whether he was there or not;<\/p>\n

“He claimed to be a first responder with the Manassas Park [Virginia] Fire Department on September 11, 2001 and personally told us stories ‘I was fighting fire that day at the Pentagon.\u2019 No, I was on a medic unit that day at the Pentagon and you make a phone call to Manassas Park and you find out that he wasn’t even employed there until October 2001,\u201d said a first responder who knows Suprun and only agreed to speak about him if his identity was concealed.<\/p>\n

The City of Manassas Park confirmed to WFAA that it hired Suprun on October 10, 2001, one month after the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n

The fire chief there added that his department never even responded to the Pentagon or any of the 9\/11 sites.<\/p>\n

“It’s no different than stolen valor for the military; dressing up and saying ‘Hey, I earned a Purple Heart’ when you weren’t even in combat.’ There’s a big difference between shopping at Old Navy and being a Navy SEAL,” said the first responder who knows him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He currently claims to be a paramedic in Dallas with a company that doesn’t exist there. Everyone’s got to be a hero.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
