Barrett, a terminally ill Connecticut man who's a big supporter of President Donald Trump, is getting a bucket list wish fulfilled, with help from his Democratic sister.
His sister, West Haven City Councilwoman Bridgette Hoskie, who describes herself as"100 percent Democrat," went on social media to help make it happen. Friends and other supporters sent emails to the White House."Mr. President, through thick and thin, you know there's been a lot of thicks, and there's been a lot of thins, I support you," Barrett said."You're my kind of man, Jay. ... I'm very proud of you," Trump said.
Barrett, who for most of his life considered himself an independent, voted for President Barack Obama in 2008, but didn't like many of his polices, including the Affordable Care Act.
