But he drew criticism during the campaign for suggesting that the United States should build a fence at the Mexico border and “start shooting” at immigrants suspected of entering the country illegally.
Fuck that guy.

I’d forgotten about him. Everyone should.
Yeah. Literally who? Maybe if he was some antivaxx crackpot who ended up dying of a vaccine preventable disease. At least that’d be some leopards ate my face content.
I did too. Found it interesting he came up with the wall idea first
I don’t think building a wall is a new/original idea, in any way
Its actually a well researched topic, the Chinese originally got the idea for their wall from Joe the Plumber.
Joe the plumber stole it from my boy Hadrian
Like what happens to most Americans in the US healthcare system: The cancer that killed him also wiped out his family’s savings.
Is that true? I didn’t see that in the article. I was hoping he had Obamacare because I enjoy irony
From the 2nd paragraph of the OP:
“His family announced this year on an online fundraising site that he had pancreatic cancer.”
The way Americans deal with medical bankruptcy are the ‘online fundraising’ sites. If things are well financially, they don’t use them.
I always thought he was just another plant by the astroturfing right
And nothing of value was lost. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
This is the most non story ever.
If we’re going to have a news story every time someone who had a bad take on the TV 15 years ago dies, we’re never going to have time to report on anything else.
So working as intended then?
RIP Sam the Unlicensed Plumber’s Assistant.
Oh yeah. I remember this fucking stooge. RIP in Piss (also shit) Joe The Plumber; may your afterlife be uncomfortably unclogged
Ok
I didn’t even realize he was a real person. I thought that “Joe the Plumber” was just a name they used in the debates to signify some kind of common person.
I can see that, especially since the term Joe Six-pack is as you described, a common blue collar person.
Yeah me too, I thought he was like Jim Crow, or Tom Cotton.
Yep, not gonna miss Joe the Dumber.
I remembered him. Shocked he died at a young age.
That cancer got cancer.
The trades have one of the highest rates of early death out of any industry. No surprise to me at all
