Left Wing Dark Money Group Scams Hurricane Ian Recovery Donors
Florida Jolt ^ | 10/14/22 | John Parker

Posted on 10/15/2022 9:16:26 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

Democrat group Florida Rising began fundraising after Hurricane Ian, claiming the funds were going to charity. In reality, it was given to a dark money political C(4), posing as a charity.

Florida Rising Tweeted the fundraising link on September 29th, just a day after Hurricane Ian landed. The tweet claimed that the groups the funds would be going to are the same ones that assisted in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma and assured readers that the funds would help “prepare for the rebuilding and recovery.” However, the link provided, ianresponse.org, is housed by the tech platform ActBlue, according to a report by the Florida Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee (FRSCC). ActBlue describes itself as a platform that “is available to Democratic candidates and committees, progressive organizations, and nonprofits that share our values…”

But that’s not all; not only is the website hosted by a left-wing platform, but it also isn’t even registered as a charity. The response fund is registered as a dark money organization, according to the FRSCC Report.

Florida Rising has endorsed Democrat candidates like Charlie Crist and Val Demings, but they have also gone further and helped sponsor attack ads. DeSantis War Room tweeted about the troubling implications of the discovery.

The opportunistic ghouls never let a crisis go to waste. Be it a mass shooting, natural disaster or any event that generates large numbers of victims. Victims are meant to be exploited.

The hurricane is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.

Someone needs to go to jail.

If that happens it won’t be a Federal prosecutor sending them to jail.

It will be a Florida procesicutor.

An investigation should be launched immediately. Or perhaps a class action lawsuit…. How many were fraudulently duped into contributing with the idea it was for hurricane victims..?

That was a local prosecutor, not the state attorney general.
