MIRAMAR, Florida -- A Florida veteran's attempt to raise $1 billion in border wall funding has ended after raising only two percent of his goal.
Purple Heart recipient and triple amputee veteran Brian Kolfage launched a GoFundMe campaign in December and raised $20 million through the first two weeks of January 2019.

That’s NOT what the GoFundMe page is saying!!!
From the GoFundMe page:
UPDATE: JANUARY 11, 2019
WE ARE BUILDING THE WALL! You can still donate right now on this Gofundme!! The media is falsely reporting all money is being refunded and it’s over. They are WRONG. WE ARE BUILDING THE WALL and you can STILL donate or opt in if you donated before January 11th TO SUPPORT the plan.

He only raised 33 cents for every Trump vote. For as much as people support it, this was a pathetic example of the support.
It was rocking right along until every Dem possible took to the air and radio waves saying it was illegal and impossible for the Federal Government to accept or use that money for any reason whatsoever -— kinda put a damp rag over everything.
Every news outlet that runs this story is in the pocket of the dem message machine.
Perhaps a list is in order.
Fake news
Something must be wrong....The “GoFundMeTheTrumpWall” has just passed $20,300,000.00 and it is climbing rapidly. That last $300,000.00 was raised in less then 24 hours. at the rate the fund is rising, it could hit $2,500,000.00 by midnight tonight.
If five or ten million Trump supporters contribute you will change the destiny of our nation and destroy the Democrat Party...politically!!!
Methinks. I’ll hang in there with the guy (Hero Brian Kolfage) that lost two legs and one arm protecting my family, my country and me...not some Botox filled Democrat woman nutcase!!!
People understandably tread carefully with things on Internet.
The only hope for public funding is issuance of Fed Border Wall bonds that are Tax free and pay 3% tax free interest.
No bank will pay you that and most of us would gladly invest in thousands of Border Bonds. They would also be given as gifts at weddings, graduations, retirement parties, communions, bar and bat Mitzvahs, baby showers.
How do I know, I got series E bonds on such occasions. Also,
the state of Israel still issues Israeli bonds.
That is the reason and the threat of it being confiscated, which I heard, too.
The "jerbilist" that wrote this is NeverTrump.
Folks....this game is far from being over.....it is just getting started. Stay tuned and watch how the great American story of volunteers continues. In the past five minutes it went up $3500.00.
#neverTrumpers had a piece last night claiming he was being shut down because he is a scam artist.
HotAir, I believe it was. ( a couple writers there worth reading)
Please, 20 Million in what a month if that with no marketing, relying completely on word of mouth and social media sharing is huge thing... put a media campaign behind it and you’d hit the goal in a few months
