Qasim Rashid, a Democrat running for Congress in Virginia, was upset after receiving ‘deeply hurtful’ tweets from Oscar Dillon, 66, claiming that Islam promoted rapes and beheadings.
But instead of lashing out at the bigotry, Rashid looked into Dillon’s background, and discovered he’d launched a GoFundMe page to pay medical bills after his wife suffered a life-threatening pulmonary embolism. And Rashid’s good deed quickly prompted a remorseful response from Dillon.
Rashid’s response also credited with helping boost fund-raising for Dillon’s GoFundMe page, with many of those contributing towards its $26,000 goal saying they’d been inspired by the politician’s grace.
