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.
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.
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 always thought he was just another plant by the astroturfing right
And nothing of value was lost. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
RIP Sam the Unlicensed Plumber’s Assistant.
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.
Cancer
He was, but he’s dead now luckily.
Celebrating the death of others imo is sociopathic.
Nah.
There’s a whole host of people I’ll outright fucking party for when they die, such as Rupert Murdoch for example.
This is more of a good riddance.
You get the respect in death that you make in life.
Let me go let the Munchkins know that they’re sociopathic for celebrating the death of the Wicked Witch of the West.
Oh yeah. I remember this fucking stooge. RIP in Piss (also shit) Joe The Plumber; may your afterlife be uncomfortably unclogged
This is the best summary I could come up with:
His oldest son, Joey Wurzelbacher, said his father died Sunday in Wisconsin after a long illness.
“The only thing I have to say is that he was a true patriot,” Joey Wurzelbacher — whose father had the middle name Joseph and went by Joe — said in a telephone interview.
He went from toiling as a plumber in suburban Toledo, Ohio, to life as a media sensation when he asked Obama about his tax plan during a campaign stop.
Days later, Obama’s Republican opponent, U.S. Sen. John McCain, repeatedly cited “Joe the Plumber” in a presidential debate.
He also wrote a book and worked with a veterans organization that provided outdoor programs for wounded soldiers.
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.
The original article contains 440 words, the summary contains 147 words. Saved 67%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
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.
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.
