'God be with you': Pro-Trump Xtians flood fundraising site for Proud Boys with donations

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Pro-Trump Christians are sending thousands of dollars in donations to members of the Proud Boys gang who have been indicted for taking part in the January 6th Capitol riots.

The Kansas City Star reports that William Chrestman and Christopher Kuehne, two Kansas City-area Proud Boys who were indicted by federal prosecutors this year for taking part in the deadly riots, have raised nearly $70,000 from donors via the GiveSendGo crowdfunding platform that specializes in fundraising for causes of interest to right-wing evangelicals Christians.

Some messages from donors reviewed by the Kansas City Star show that the donors believe false claims about the 2020 election being "stolen" from former President Donald Trump, and that they believe the Proud Boys were merely exercising their constitutionally protected First Amendment rights when they illegally broke into the Capitol building.

“Keep strong, this is an atrocity what is happening in this once free country taken over by demons who will stop at nothing to gain and keep their ill-gotten power,” wrote one donor. “God be with you and all the other political prisoners being unjustly locked up.”

A fool and his money

But then, Rick Scott took care of that.

2. Good

I want these miscreants to have the best representation they can get. So that when they're found guilty and sentenced they can't cry about ineffective counsel.

5. These scum are Christians like I'm Cary Grant.

I'm not, luckily.

6. Oh, yes

Because if they believe the teachings of their Jesus, that their Jesus would support the actions of the Proud Boys. Maybe their Jesus would love the members of the Proud Boys, as he would love everybody, according to their faith, but I doubt he would love their actions.

7. The January 6 traitors are rising a lot of money on that sight. Grifting the stupid and vulnerable

just like their Sunday preachers.
