A top nonpartisan political crowdfunding site on Tuesday cut ties with its CEO, a Fox News weekend host, and temporarily suspended all fundraising on its platform for Republican candidates.
In a Medium.com post, entitled “A stand against Trumpism, a stand for democracy,” Crowdpac, a for-profit website that helps candidates raise money online, announced a series of major changes including the departure of founder and CEO Steve Hilton, acknowledging that his vocal advocacy for President Donald Trump “created a tension within our platform and community.”
“We’ve heard from many quarters of the Crowdpac community that, in light of Steve Hilton’s political profile, the use of our platform is seen as an endorsement of President Trump and his political movement,” acting CEO Jesse Thomas wrote.
“This isn’t even close to true, but it has created unnecessary drag for many of our users working to raise funds and build support for their campaigns on our platform,” Thomas continued. “Our business has been built around removing friction from participation for leaders and candidates, and any perceived endorsement of Trumpism, true or not, could hinder our growth and their success.”
The acting CEO also explained that the company had decided that Trump and his beliefs “run counter to our values and the values of the vast majority of our users.”(continued)

What the heck is “Trumpism”?
The lines are being drawn, are they battle lines for political war or something worse.
These effeminate POS who denigrate a huge swath of America and who throw the word Nazi around like schoolchildren use the term ‘dork’ do not deserve to have patriotic Americans in the military put their lives on the line for them. They don’t deserve the freedom they live under and get rich under.
You know, sticking to that old piece of goat skin in DC under glass, letting the People do the governing and that old quaint nonsense.
Steve Hilton.
What the heck is CrowdPac??
Sounds like a bunch of Snowflakes.
Crowdpac or fudgepac.
They’re about to be smote.
Patriotism, so I guess they are anti-patriotism.
From Crowdpac’s website...

I was going it was Shepard Smith
NextGen Climate was founded by Tom Steyer.
I was so hoping it would be Shep Smith.
non partisan means you are helpful to anyone that meets the specific requirement to belong to the group being helped...it is hard to be nonpartisan and most people including myself struggle with it when we try. This group governing body has no concept of what it means to be nonpartisan. suggestion tell the truth you are a political action group that helps out people entering politics that agree with your groups political leanings.
This is some British guy who hosts, “Revolution” or some such thing. Wears jackets over T shirts and opines on American conservatism. I watched 10 minutes of his shtick and tuned out. Fox is losing it’s base faster than the GOPe.
Whew! That was close. I was thinking about donating $10,000 to this organization.
