So, who’s this Alix Bryan person? Well, as she puts it in her Twitter bio, she’s “1/3 of a kick-ass web and social media team @CBS6” in Richmond, Virginia.

She’s also a model citizen who took it upon herself to report the wildly successful GoFundMe campaign for Memories Pizza for fraud — despite the fact that she had no evidence whatsoever:

Also, that is totally acceptable to do. I also did research afterward and contacted person who started fund. @LilacSundayBlog @CBS6

Except according to Lawrence B. Jones, who launched the GoFundMe campaign, Bryan didn’t actually, you know, contact him:

@alixbryan @LilacSundayBlog @CBS6 you didn't contact me.

FYI, now @alixbryan falsely claims that she contacted us in her “research.” Never happened. EVER. https://twitter.com/alixbryan/status/584039406052495360 …

Yeah, that's good, but this mutant will just claim the photoshopped them.

[American Constitutionalist]

Can’t claim that if they removed their own profiles off of twitter, it’s to convenient, subspious.

You know you’ve busted someone cold on Twitter when they stop replying with unmodifiable text-based tweets and pathetically resort to posting their responses and clarifications as graphical images (aka ‘photos’) that can’t be retweeted and are easily erased/modified.

Since when can't an image be retweeted?

Text is much easier to modify than an image. You just start typing. No need for Photoshop or similar tools, which require skill to use effectively.

As she herself points out, she's merely skating past Twitter's 140-character text limit (and its inability to apply formatting, paragraphs, etc.). She just typed her screed into Word and posted a screenshot.

Here is what she posted (retweeted 104 times):

To be fair, early on, there were FReepers questioning the validity of the GoFundMe account. Too lazy to google. They would have quickly seen that the account's creator is associated with Dana Loesch, Project Veritas, and TheBlaze TV.

Cripplecreek you are being pinged to another thread, read it, you will love it.

[American Constitutionalist]

Yup, instead of Gofundme, this is a turn around and use their own money against them if they want catering services, to ? Youfundme lol

[American Constitutionalist]

Gives a whole new meaning to : Youfundme.. Lol

I seem to remember a Fire Chief—in Atlanta I believe—a Christian, who was fired for condemning homosexuality in his own church and on his own time.

That didn’t make any difference to the haters.

I also recall similar events where conservatives/Christians, acting privately, still ran into trouble at their jobs; but those details are hazy.

Seems to me the same rules should apply here.

No wonder the country is so screwed up today if this is what passes for communication!!! I don’t understand a word of this.

In simple terms this person is a trained but not experienced propaganda apparatchik for the party of slavery ,segregation ,socialism & sodomy.
