GoFundMe campaign for Kavanaugh raises over $500,000

A GoFundMe campaign has raised more than $550,000 to support Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and his family, in the wake of allegations of sexual assault being leveled against him.

John Hawkins, who owns conservative blog, Right Wing News, said he created the GoFundMe eight days ago because he was "disgusted" by Kavanaugh's treatment throughout his nomination.

"We live in a country where innocent until proven guilty is supposed to mean something; yet Brett Kavanaugh's reputation is being dragged through the mud while his family is facing non-stop death threats," Hawkins wrote on the campaign's page.

“This is a horrible way to treat a good man who has dedicated his life to public service,” Hawkins continued. “So many unethical people are giving unprovable 36 year old accusations the same weight as 6 FBI background checks, hundreds of hours of hearings and testimony under oath. It is disgraceful.”

.... inflatable dolls. Then the Fascist frat boys could have their train of studs line up for their gang rape of the blowup dolls.

Drink beer then puke and vomit all over.

worth $900K. Of course they considered it a money-raiser for Dr. Ford as though she was scamming people. This person is a Federalist Repub and has nothing good to say about a liberal or Democrat.

she was a scam from the get go. I asked him who set up the accounts and he gave me a blank look. It never goes beyond the surface with most of these right wing parrots. My brother fancies himself as "not taking sides" yet everything out of his mouth is part of the right wing echo chamber and when confronted with facts either changes the subject or he resorts to "both sides do it, they're the same".

I try not to engage him on political topics (he does not vote) yet he continuously brings up the latest Reich wing poutrage.
