FULL TITLE: The man behind a GoFundMe campaign that has raised $11 million to build Trump's wall also ran a conspiracy-theory page that got kicked off Facebook

 

• A GoFundMe campaign has raised more than $11 million in private donations to build President Donald Trump's proposed US-Mexico border wall.
• Its founder, Brian Kolfage, previously ran a Facebook page — as well as several related websites — that was kicked off the platform in October for what Facebook described as "inauthentic activity."
• When asked why he didn't mention his past on the GoFundMe page, Kolfage told NBC News he "didn't want it to be a distraction."
• Trump has struggled to get funding for a wall from Congress and has threatened to force a government shutdown over the issue.
• The page for the GoFundMe campaign, seeking to raise $1 billion, says, "This won't be easy, but it's our duty as citizens."

 

The man behind a GoFundMe campaign that has raised $11 million in private money to build President Donald Trump's proposed US-Mexico border wall also ran conspiracy-theory websites and a related Facebook page that was kicked off the platform in October.

Brian Kolfage, a US veteran who travels to speak about being a triple amputee, aims to raise $1 billion with his "We The People Will Fund The Wall" fundraiser to construct a 2,000-mile wall along the border.

Come to think of it. All of those donating are guilty of a crime too.

It’s running at a factor of 2, so by Christmas it will be done!

“I find it idiotic the MSM can dig up sh*t about a wall that will defend the country when these same stupid reporters have walls surrounding their offices, homes etc”

Anyone can discover which watering hole these fascist snakes hang out at. There is no wall there, and they are completely exposed to any comments one may make.

Gosh - Facebook listed some of his activities as "inauthentic activity" - that says more for him than against him.

I donated - as did a number of FReepers.....I noticed that those who consider this action "a waste of time" also seem to consider donating anything to any cause the same "waste of time"....
