Supporting a leftist group that advocates defunding the police apparently wasn’t a red flag for liberal outlet Inside Philanthropy’s (IP) “Philanthropist of the Year” award.

At least, that’s the message that IP sent when they named Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’s liberal billionaire ex-wife MacKenzie Scott their 2020 philanthropy champion.

IP praised Scott, stating that “[i]n her debut as a mega-donor, Scott moved about $6 billion, distributed to a combination of advocacy and organizing groups working in areas like race, gender and climate.” MacKenzie had announced earlier last year that she had transferred “nearly $1.7 billion to 116 organizations” linked to social justice causes “since first publicly discussing her giving intentions in May 2019.” Part of that massive amount included $586,700,000 allocated to organizations promoting so-called “Racial Equity.” One of the recipients Scott listed was the radical leftist, anti-police organization Movement for Black Lives (M4BL). One webpage for that group’s website is headlined, “THE TIME HAS COME TO DEFUND THE POLICE.”

Sad when we live in timeswhere the most evil the most despicable, and the most vile are given the highest accolades by the most godless in our society

Why does it seem that when persons attain YUGE amounts of money they also become stoopider? Even though mac says she plans to use most of her wealth for ‘causes’, she’ll still never again have to deal with the rifraf and common folks if she doesn’t want to. And she can probably still hire excellent security so, cops? Meh.

She’s out squandering her ex husband’s money and buying goodwill.

You didn’t think end times were gonna be pretty did you?

[blueunicorn6]

So she’s filltheropist of the year. Big deal.

Yeah, no crap. I didn’t even get an honorable mention from “Inside Philanthropy”. WTF? I gave a buck to some kid collecting for DARE the other day. The assclowns that the award means something to won’t be considering our comments. Guaranteed.

If the piglease are going to protect murderous groups like pantiesinawadfa then they should be defunded.

[House Atreides]

I wonder if all the actual victims of crime consider her to be THEIR “Philanthropist of the Year”. My betting is that she doesn’t have a rat’s ass of care or compassion about these victims.

[Rockingham]

And her parents are good, flamethrower type conservatives.

[Bob434]

Of course I did. You mean it is not?

Awards might as well be passed out in cereal boxes and Cracker Jack as prizes used to be before choking lawsuits.

This guy got one and he hadn’t done ANYTHING yet in office——
The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to United States President Barack Obama for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people”. ... Obama accepted the prize in Oslo on December 10, 2009.

While President Trump who averted shooting war with North Korea and Iran and brought about peace agreements involving Israel and her enemies-——got impeached and vilified in the media.

I guess in that bitch's rarified circle of twits, it's just not virtue-signaling sufficiently to give your billions to something mundane like funding research to cure cancer or heart disease.
