9/11 record of Republican 'faithless elector' called into question

The Republican “faithless elector,” who made headlines across the country when he wrote a blistering op-ed pledging not to vote for President-elect Trump in the Electoral College, is now under scrutiny himself after his claim to have been a firefighter on 9/11 has been questioned by a local news outlet.

Christopher Suprun, a Republican elector in Texas, wrote a piece for the New York Times on Dec. 5 called “Why I Will Not Cast My Electoral Vote for Donald Trump.” In it, Suprun cites his past as a firefighter on 9/11 as one of the reasons for not voting for Donald Trump on Dec. 19, despite Texas voting comfortably for Trump on Nov. 8.

“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’s election may seem unrelated, but for me the relationship becomes clearer every day,” Suprun wrote.

In the piece, he calls on fellow Republican electors to vote their conscience and deny Trump the 270 votes he needs to win the White House, and to back a Republican alternative such as Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who has publicly distanced himself from such efforts.

“The election of the next president is not yet a done deal. Electors of conscience can still do the right thing for the good of the country. Presidential electors have the legal right and a constitutional duty to vote their conscience,” Suprun wrote. “I pray my fellow electors will do their job and join with me in discovering who that person should be.”

Yet, as the move to deny Trump the 270 votes has gained momentum and media coverage, Suprun’s past has come under scrutiny.

Dallas ABC affiliate WFAA reported that Suprun’s LinkedIn page claims that he was part of Manassas Fire Department in Sept. 2001, but found that he was not part of that Fire Dept. until October, and cited an anonymous first responder who knew Suprun, who contradicted his claims.

“He claimed to be a first responder with the Manassas Park Fire Department on September 11, 2001 and personally told us stories 'I was fighting fire that day at the Pentagon.' 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," the source told the outlet.

Even if Suprun had been hired by Manassas Park before 9/11, the fire chief there told WFAA that they did not respond to the Pentagon that fateful day.

"It’s no different than stolen valor for the military,” the source told WFAA.

Suprun responded to the allegations in a statement Friday:

“You’re right, I wasn’t in New York on 9-11,” he said [although WFAA did not make such a claim.] “I was a part of the response to the Pentagon attacks, as a member of the Dale City fire department in northern Virginia.”

He explained further in response to a question at an “Ask Me Anything” on Reddit.

“That story exhibits a reckless disregard for the truth. I never claimed to be a first responder on 9-11 with the Manassas Park Fire Dept. I was a volunteer firefighter at the time for the Dale City Fire Dept. when I responded to the attacks at the Pentagon,” he said.

Suprun’s claim is backed up in part by a story in Philly.com in 2012, which reported on a talk Suprun gave for the Never Forget foundation. In that, Philly.com reports him claiming in that talk that he was indeed part of the Dale City Volunteer Fire Department.

However, that account does not present him as a firefighter, as he claims to be in his Times op-ed and his Reddit answer, but as a volunteer paramedic. His account does not have him fighting fires, but administering first aid in a nearby parking lot, before being deployed to a recreation center, where he treated first responders.

Calls to Dale City Fire Dept. from FoxNews.com were not immediately returned. Follow up questions to Suprun’s agent seeking to clarify his role that day were also not returned.

It was not the only question WFAA raised in regards to Suprun’s record.

On his LinkedIn profile, Suprun says he is presently a paramedic with Freedom EMS in Dallas, but WFAA reports that no such company exists. A spokeswoman for Air Methods ambulance service, where Suprun's LinkedIn also claims he works, told the outlet he is not employed there either.

Electors make their decision on Dec. 19. Suprun is so far the only elector to publicly express his intent to change his vote from Trump. It would take 37 votes to deny Trump the votes needed, which would then send the question to the House of Representatives.

Trump would likely still win among the Republican-heavy legislature, but rogue electors hope that by presenting a moderate Republican, they can convince them to snatch the White House away from the billionaire.

He's a lying, faithless lunatic regardless of his vote.

He should have just done what Trump always does - deny, deny, deny. If you say "nuh uh" enough, it's not true.

Anti-Trump Faithless Elector Kicked Out Of Texas Police Academy For Plagiarism?

Anti-Trump faithless elector Stephen "Chris" Suprun was expelled from a Texas police academy about six years ago for plagiarism, according to an anonymous source who attended classes with him.
.....
The source told GotNews that they had the "unfortunate experience" of attending the Tarrant County College Police Academy with Suprun, in Fort Worth, Texas from 2009-2010. Suprun "did not graduate" due to being "expelled from the academy for plagiarism."

The source adds that "this is just another example of Mr. Suprun's character and poor judgment."

Suprun was expelled from Class 133. The police academy is part of the Tarrant County College Center of Criminal Justice.

Suprun's expulsion would have occurred about one year before he joint-filed with his wife for chapter 13 bankruptcy, owing over $214,000 to multiple creditors, and about two years before he tried to cheat on her using Ashley Madison.

"But squidley, it's an anonymous source."

How does this compare to the President of the United States making nebulous, undefined "hacking" charges with no evidence whatsoever?

:hah: gotnews.com

Should we be surprised that Squidley is sucking on the fake news?

After glancing across the GotNews' front page, my favorite thing about it is that they clearly label stories as "news" and "opinion" in attempt to seem legit.

Of course, the stories labeled as "news" are not only not news but they are also completely made up.

This is "news"?

I'm more interested in knowing why the f*ck you're even on this? Are you expecting a big battle on this or something?

It's called end zone celebration. You jackasses lost at the legitimate forum, the ballot box. Then you decided to kick up a big splut trying to win over Trump elector/defectors. It even included a presidential FAKE NEWS story about some unnamed Russian hacker with no evidence or even any specific charges.

What you got is one lone moral-less crank. Tomorrow's elector voting day. Revenge is sweet.

Way to go with the "revenge".

In which church did they teach you that?

In which church did they teach you that a vapid, vain, vindictive, vile celebrity is a great thing for the country?

A pussy grabber? That's your revenge?

I'm curious what you think is going to happen over the next four years?

Here's how I see it playing out for me - my taxes will probably go down (I'm a 1%er, you know) and while I despise the government getting involved in things like abortion and gay marriage, I'm neither going to need an abortion nor a gay marriage so I'll probably be pretty status quo. Is that the sort of revenge you dream of?

PS - I have a lot of power, but wasn't in fact part of the big group that made up the Russia thing.

So far there have been seven elector-defectors. All of them voted against their state's choice for President, Hillary Clinton. Three of these electors were forcibly replaced with Hillary supporters. The remaining four defections were in Washington state, and were successful.

Without the shrill leftist SCREAMS for Trump defectors this election would be like all other election years. We wouldn't even pay any attention to elector voting. Now the left's failures are being dragged down main street again with cameras rolling.

It's the defeat that keeps on giving.

Was looking forward to your thoughts on what this Trump revenge will look like for the masses, but alas...

It looks like all you guys can do is deflect deflect deflect.

Notwithstanding all the other bullshiet from either side the last 3 months this guy is total and complete scum. Does this guy sleep at night?

 

[StuAzole]

I've not been following the EC revolt thing - makes no sense and never had a chance. How did I end up in the "you guys" camp?

Election's over, time to move on. Hope Trump lowers my taxes and figures out foreign policy quickly. And gets off Twitter.
