    Before Proud Boys member Nick Ochs was arrested and charged in connection with the insurrection at the US Capitol, he raised $300 on the Christian-oriented website GiveSendGo.com to help get him to DC.
    Following Ochs' arrest, a supporter turned to GiveSendGo to raise money for his legal defense, a campaign that has garnered nearly $20,000 for the member of the right-wing extremist group.
    The campaigns for Ochs weren't the only controversial causes on the site. A CNN review found more than two dozen fundraisers related to protesting the outcome of the presidential election, raising travel funds to attend the January 6 protest in Washington and other right-wing causes

    Wow.

    Many of the Domestic Terrorists who caused the Deadly Riot at the Capitol.were funded from this Christian Website.

    It is (essentially) A Fundraising Platform for people banned from GoFundMe.

    How sad is it that Domestic Terrorists are "Funded" through a Christian Website?

    If you want to swindle some money from a group of people, find a group that is already accustomed to being swindled.

    Is that really much different than the Antifa people arrested for the riots in Washington being bailed out by members of Biden's campaign?

    Are you comparing the Biden campaign to Christianity?

    How would it be different if it were a secular website?

    Biden is a so called Christian. The Christian churches have had a long history of being in bed with Anarchists and corrupt politicians.

    What's different is that the incoming Vice President encouraged people to bail out her terrorist comrades who were arrested and charged in connection with the insurrection around the country last summer while the outgoing Vice President hasn't encouraged people to bail out Nick Ochs.

    The Famously Tolerant Left wouldn't see an opportunity to bash their Christian bêtes noire...

    Democrat targets.
    White, male, Christian

    Democrats believe it is okay to discriminate and even attack white people if they use words white people aren't allowed to use.

    Biden is a Catholic but same dif I suppose.

    Agreed. We have seen it this last 4 years but it would be more accurate to add fascists to your list.

    Sad, but not surprising. America's evangelicals have sold their souls in the name of keeping as many "pro-life" candidates in power as they possibly can. Nothing else matters much. When they poured support behind a man like Trump, who has violated nearly every value in which they profess belief, they reached a new low, in my opinion.

    Succinctly stated. To top that off, who did Trump pardon on his last night in office? Steve Bannon, charged with, among other things, cheating those same dupes out of money they thought was in support of building Trump's pathetic border wall, while all along spending those millions on himself.

    To quote a favorite movie line: "If God did not want them fleeced, he would not have made them sheep."

    Hyperbole with missing context.

    https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-...sts-not-riots-in-late-show-clip-idUSKBN27E34P

    After a few dozen peaceful protesters were arrested in Minnesota, Harris donated to this bail bond fund:

    https://mnfreedomfund.org/

    The fact that some of the people this organization has helped are less that solid citizens is not on her. All she did was donate so that the protesters, not the rioters, could get released pending trial.

    Since you asked, yes!

    Nobody in the Biden campaign raised money to send protesters anywhere.
