GoFundMe Hypocrisy


As all are probably aware Kyle Rittenhouse tried to raise money for his defense and was denied by gofundme, which quoted their “high and mighty” set of rules prohibiting any funding for a legal defense of a violet crime … “GoFundMe’s Terms of Service prohibit raising money for the legal defense of an alleged violent crime.”

However before further responses to that tweet could be completely prohibited and those already posted taken down very quickly, there were multiple responses pointing out gofundme’s hypocrisy:

From Andy Ngo:

“If this is true, why did you donate $500 to Riot Kitchen last year? The Seattle group was arrested by federal agents after being observed filling up multiple fuel cans with gasoline & driving into #Kenosha. Police said the Riot Kitchen group tried escaping in their minivan.”

From Ezra Levant:

Out of curiosity, I searched your site for legal defenses for alleged violent crimes. Here’s an example I found in less than 60 seconds: https://gofundme.com/f/legal-defense-for-carlton-naughton-jr?qid=226a53b5825fb44d23cd9b8cebc379ed…

Are you sure that’s your policy?

Again from Ezra Levant:

GoFundMe deleted the example I gave. Here are dozens more: https://gofundme.com/s?q=legal%20defense… It’s almost like they’re making it up.

(FYI, I tried to look up this first example … indeed it had been deleted! …Hmmm!)

After failing with the first reference, I tried to look up this last reference, and this time was successful. There are indeed multiple multiple examples. The following is the first one that I looked at randomly: 

“Hello my name is Lansana Saccoh host of The Hidden Truth on social media platforms, I am raising a legal defense fund for a 15 years old young girl in Sierra Leone by the name of Isha Conteh who fought off a 45 years old male aggressor who was attempting to rape her, but the man was found dead after she struggled to  free herself from his forceful sexual  penetration. Isha, the 15 years old girl in this traumatic situation, sustained physical bodily injuries because of his aggressive behavior that includes but not limited to biting her on her breast and her back. Isha is currently in police custody/cell awaiting court appearance or proceedings. It is befitting in this case considering she is a 15 years old minor to not only choose who she wants to be with in any capacity, but to also self defend herself when her life is in danger. Please help mount a vigorous legal defense on her behalf by donating to the GoFundMe account open in her name, as a legal defense fund.”

This certainly seems eerily similar to Kyle Rittenhouse’s situation … a minor (15 years old) who fought off an attacker in self defense, and in fighting off the attacker, killed the attacker. 

Hmmm, seems like flagrant hypocrisy to me.

Interestingly, Isha Conteh is a black female and Kyle Rittenhouse is a white male … pure coincidence I am sure!
