The reporter noted that the Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF) has “since been morphed into something else and has been used to help people get out who’ve been accused of many other crimes. Do you have any thoughts about this?”
Kamala responded first by filibustering about her support for peaceful protests — which the BLM riots were certainly not — but then called the accusations political games.
“I think that unfortunately, what we’re seeing are people are playing political games right now,” Kamala said. “We’re 18 days away from midterms, and we have sadly not seen a lack of misinformation and disinformation. And I think this is another one of those examples.”
The problem for Kamala Harris is that we have the receipts.
There’s no doubt she promoted the MFF. For starters, her tweet urging her supporters to donate to them is still up: If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota. https://t.co/t8LXowKIbw — Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) June 1, 2020 The reporter was wrong, though — the MFF hasn’t morphed from a bail fund for BLM rioters into one for all kinds of heinous crimes; it always was paying the bail for all kinds of criminals, even back in 2020. The MFF raised so much money after the riots that they bailed out accused murderers and rapists.
An August 2020 report from Fox9 in Minnesota found that the MFF used the $35 million they raised in the wake of the George Floyd riots to bail out “defendants from Twin Cities jails charged with murder, violent felonies, and […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
