A Pittsburgh man used his dying wish to make a political plea to his fellow Americans: don’t vote for Donald Trump.
By now, The Donald has made his candidacy for the Republican nomination well known, and he’s leading the competition in polling despite (or perhaps because of) his often controversial ideas on everything from immigration to terrorism.
One man decided to take a stand against Trump — from the grave.
According to the obituary published in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Jeffrey H. Cohen passed away unexpectedly at the age of 70. The obit is rife with quips and jokes, revealing that “He took pride in being the only Jewish cowboy that he knew of,” and that his preeminent philosophy was “The meaning of life is OOPS!”
So it is perhaps fitting that the tribute finishes with the following sentiment:
“Jeffrey would ask that in lieu of flowers, please do not vote for Donald Trump.”
Global News notes that this is not the first political request made post-mortem. Mary Catherine Finn of Peterborough, Ont. passed away in July, and requested the following of her mourners:
“In lieu of donations, Catherine would want you to do everything you can to drive Stephen Harper from office, right out of the country, and into the deep blue sea if possible.”
We’re sure Finn is smiling down from somewhere. Cohen will have to wait 10 months until the elections are over to see if his final request is met.
