After Enabling Violent, Far-Left Extremists, GoFundMe 'Steals'
Millions From Freedom Convoy Fundraisers

Conservatives are livid after GoFundMe caved to the Canadian
government and canceled a massive donation campaign that had reached
C$10 million (US$7.9m).

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) tweeted: "It is a fraud for @gofundme to
commandeer $9M in donations sent to support truckers and give it to
causes of their own choosing," adding "I will work with @AGAshleyMoody
to investigate these deceptive practices — these donors should be
given a refund."

Rep Jim. Jordan (R-OH) pointed out that "GoFundMe promoted the
ANTIFA-occupied CHOP zone in Seattle, But they shut down fundraisers
for truckers protesting #COVID mandates."

    But they shut down fundraisers for truckers protesting #COVID mandates.

    We’ve got questions.

Benny Johnson captured the prevailing sentiment on Saturday, tweeting
that the "Go Fund Me story was my breaking point. Blood boiling. FUCK
GO FUND ME. Put them in prison. Authoritarian boot-licking thieving
scum. Not another dollar to them - EVER."

    I keep it light hearted on this platform. Try not to doomscroll or
rage tweet. Happy Warrior, right? But Go Fund Me story was my breaking
point. Blood boiling. FUCK GO FUND ME. Put them in prison.
Authoritarian boot-licking thieving scum. Not another dollar to them -
EVER.

GoFundMe's Trustpilot rating page was just suspended after people
began to bombard it with negative reviews.

    BREAKING: Trustpilot has just suspended the GoFundMe profile after
people started to bombard it's profile with 1000s of negative reviews.
We need to start pushing back against these liberal-owned entities.
Mixing business with biased politics is a bad idea.

For example:

Meanwhile, a GiveSendGo campaign for the Freedom Convoy reached $1.1
million in donations overnight, however the platform is currently
inaccessible and has said it's under DDOS attack.

    We have been under heavy DDOS and bot attacks. In spite of all of
this we still have managed to raise funds 5X faster than the gfm did.
GFM raised 10mil in 3 weeks. GSG campaign has already raised over
1.1mil in just over 12 hours!

Let's review GoFundMe's previous support of far-left violence:

    . at gofundme allows the campaign for violent Portland #Antifa member
Alissa Azar to remain so she can raise cash after she was indicted on
a felony & more. Her attack on people at a park was caught on video by
Melissa Lewis, who has tried to scrub the video.

    . at gofundme donated to Riot Kitchen, a Seattle antifa group that
gave food to far-left rioters and occupiers in 2020 across state
