CBS Denies Kamala Harris Raised Money To Bail Out BLM Rioters
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Add Kamala Harris's fundraising for criminal Black Lives Matter rioters in 2020 to the growing list of items the media is eager to lie about ahead of the vice president's coronation as leader of the Democrat Party next month.
On Thursday, a CBS station in Minnesota sought to dismiss Republican reminders that Harris encouraged supporters to give money to a fund for far-left demonstrators who were arrested for terrorizing the country in 2020.
"[Former President Donald] Trump claims Harris helped raise millions and personally donated to a fund that got extra support to bail out protestors in the aftermath of George Floyd's death," CBS News Minnesota reported. The local station called Trump's accusation "misleading" because the Minnesota Freedom Fund said, "It is not correct that then-Sen. Harris has donated to our organization."
Just a few days into the Harris campaign and the press has already reached "blatantly lie about facts you can google in 30 seconds" levels of servile debasement https://t.co/gdDbPf4xW8

Harris, however, published a post (which remains online), on what was Twitter at the time, wherein the California senator-turned-vice president asked supporters to "chip in now to the [Minnesota Freedom Fund] to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota." The link was posted on Harris's page on June 1, 2020, as far-left riots exploded across the country in the most expensive outbreak of political unrest in American history, costing upwards of $2 billion, or 66 times the estimated wreckage from the Capitol riot seven months later.

The Minnesota Freedom Fund went on to bail out a repeat felon who was later charged with murder and another who was a registered sex offender later accused of child rape.
The Republican Party posted a clip on X of the CBS station asking Harris about the Minnesota Freedom Fund directly just weeks before the 2022 midterms.
"I think that, unfortunately … people are playing political games right now," Harris said, dismissing her support for the violent rioters of 2020 as election-year "disinformation."

On Tuesday, CNN characterized the Minnesota Freedom Fund as a "charitable bail group." The network reported, "Biden and Harris have condemned the riots and violence that occurred on multiple occasions and have expressed support for peaceful protest."
Harris is still raising money for the Minnesota bail fund, according to The Washington Free Beacon, which credited her post for helping the fund reach $41 million in donations in 2020, while adding that "the group only used a small fraction of that bounty — $210,000 — to bail rioters out of jail."
"The Minnesota Freedom Fund continues to reap dividends from Harris's fundraising efforts well into 2024," the Beacon's Andrew Kerr wrote Monday. "The vice president's fundraising page for the group, which contains a photo of a triumphant Harris before a crowd of supporters alongside her 2020 campaign logo, is active and accepted a contribution from this reporter on Monday morning."

Lie they will.
I'm going to remind everyone of what she did.
Well, to be fair, there's no evidence that I've seen that she personally has donated money to the fund. Yes she did promote it heavily, but ...
You are correct. She never used her own money.
One tweet for the Minnesota Freedom Fund hardly seems like "she did promote it heavily".
She neither raised money or gave money to the Fund, she merely recommended IT, ONCE, on 06/01/2020.
What she promoted heavily was to not to let up on the peaceful protests.
As far as the Fund, the donations totaling $40 million dollars seems like the pulse of America at the time.
The Butler victims only raised $7 Million between two funds.
All of her lies, deceptions, and misdeeds are on public display. Visual and audio tapes don't lie. What ends up on the Internet tends to stay forever. This cartoon says it all.....
This is what needs to be done with Kamala.

There was also a bail fund set up for the Jan 6 rioters. I know you want poor people to rot in jail for months while awaiting trial simply because they cannot afford bail.
(No person shall) be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law... Excessive bail shall not be required.
- The Bill of Rights.
Funny how you condone letting criminals back out on the street.
If only the Summer of Love rioters were hunted down and prosecuted the way that Jan 6th rioters were/are.
Harris also supported defund the police initiatives.
Harris wasn't fit to be VP. She sure as hell isn't fit to be President.
No amount of media white washing her record will change that fact.
You’re not really a criminal until you’re convicted, right? I know I heard that a bunch from Trump supporters the last few months. Curiously, though, even though he’s been convicted, he’s still not a criminal in their minds.
Yeah, people make this claim a lot, but actually several thousand people were arrested and prosecuted for their behavior in those riots in 2020.
You are not allowed to use the word criminal anymore. I think the proper terminology is person or individual impacted by the justice system.
If they’re at all regretful, I’m actually ok with that. But if they’re unapologetic and intent on being a repeat offender, then I think “criminal” is fair.
And what of a speedy trial?
A speedy trial? In federal court that's 70 days. That's a long time to rot in jail for anybody who's presumed innocent.
And how long did they wait?
They? Do you assume that they all waited the same amount of time? Typically, those with less money wait as long as the courts make them wait while those with the resources to make bail go free. Overworked public defenders encourage their clients to "waive time" which resets the 70 day clock to zero. Meanwhile, freedom is dangled like a carrot on a stick to cop a plea. "You can go home today if you just give up your right to vote and own a gun." That, my friend, is your two tiered justice system.
Yeah, that’s an issue with donating to any charity. You can’t control where all the money goes. Another example is people donate to the Red Cross whenever there is a disaster, but the money they donate won’t go to the disaster they are interested in. It will go to some future disaster. For that matter, our taxes work the same way.
The MSM must really think people are stupid. Unfortunately do a degree they are right.
It's a sight to see. The media doing everything it can to elect her. Erasing stories, denying their own reporting, denying the reality of tweets and public statements she made. Doesn't matter if her original statements are there for the world to see.
Next step will be to rewrite all the stories that came out detailing what a horrible shit show her campaign was and her refusal to actual pay attention to policy.
Or this will be next from politico:
The Biden administration has been very unpopular. That's why Republicans are lying and saying that Kamala Harris was part of that Administration. So let's be clear: Contrary to what Republican lies have led you to believe, Kamala Harris was never part of the Biden Administration.
Where is a disinformation board when you need one.
Sounds like the truth of the matter. Not that Trump and his minions care.
That does not contradict her support of bailing out domestic terrorists.
The network reported, "Biden and Harris have condemned the riots and violence “
Did she? Sure doesn’t sound like it:
She supported bailing out protesters, not domestic terrorists.
Context matters.
Harris advocated sending money to a group that was bailing out protesters. If "domestic terrorists" were bailed out it wasnt her doing.
Dont let the facts or the truth get in the way of your fun though.
Right. All those peaceful protesters who get arrested while violently rioting needed bail money. Peaceful protesting being illegal and all. She called for bail assistance the day after rioters attacked the white house, forcing Trump to be evacuated to a bunker and injuring dozens of police and secret service if you want context.
Context matters.
Indeed it does.
Right. she just raised money for a group bailing out domestic terrorists. Not her fault at all. How could she know people arrested for participating in terrorism are terrorists, right?
That sounds pretty definitive to me.
Of course she came out against Rittenhouse. No surprise there. She and her soon to be boss were too busy supporting the knife wielding pedo who attacked a cop to stand up for an innocent man forced to defend himself from a rampaging mob.
In other words, her single Twitter/X tweet on June 01, 2020, to help bail out protesters didn't have a thing to do with Trump being briefly moved to the bunker.
Thanks.
Rittenhouse was 17 years old. He had no business being there that night.

Get that deflection machine up and running quick John. Lot of work to do to cover for Harris running on the platform that everything she said or did in 2020 was a lie.
I think what Trump did in 2020 is much more of an issue.
It isn’t against the law to provide bail to a person that is arrested and has a bail amount set by a judge.
if I remember correctly a few thousand where found guilty so the system worked.
politicians have done much worse then provide bail for defendants, pardoning convicted murders for example comes to mind.
