RACHEL: WELCOME BACK TO "FOX &
friends."
TRUCKERS IN THE FREEDOM CONVOY
FACE A GLOWING NIGHT -- GROWING FIGHT AS GOFUNDME PULLS THEIR
FIGHT AS GOFUNDME PULLS THEIR
FUND RAISING PAGE.
CHRISTIAN-BASED FUNDING SIGHT
GIVE SENT GOVERNOR STEPPING
UP -- GIVESENDGO ALREADY RAISING
MORE THAN $2 MILLION.
FLORIDA GOVERNOR DeSANTIS
VOWING TO INVESTIGATE GO FUND
MAINE ALONG WITH FLORIDA
ATTORNEY GENERAL ASHLEY MOODY.
SHE JOINS US NOW.
ASHLEY, GOOD FOR YOU.
ED GLAD THAT YOU GUYS STEPPED UP
SO QUICKLY WHEN YOU SAW THIS
HAPPENING.
DO YOU THINK IT’S THE THREAT OF
THIS INVESTIGATION AND POSSIBLE
LAWSUITS THAT CAUSED GOFUNDME TO
KIND OF CHANGE THEIR TUNE AND
SAY, NO, NO, NO, WE’RE NOT GOING
TO GIVE THE MONEY TO THE
TRUCKERS TO GIVE TO CHARITY,
WE’RE GOING TO GIVE THE MONEY
BACK?
>> GOOD MORNING, RACHEL.
YOU KNOW, THINK ABOUT WHAT
OCCURRED HERE.
YOU HAD A BUSINESS THAT
ESSENTIALLY MAKES MONEY OFF
PEOPLE’S -- THE GOODNESS OF
THEIR HEART, WANTING TO
CONTRIBUTE TO A CAUSE THAT’S
IMPORTANT TO THEM.
YOU HAVE A BIG BUSINESS THAT
ENCOURAGES THAT.
THEY TAKE A PERCENTAGE, NOT ONLY
A PERCENTAGE OF THE DONATION,
BUT MONEY PER DONATION, SO THEY
MAKE MONEY WHEN THEY -- WHEN
FOLKS RAISE MONEY THROUGH THEIR
PLATFORM P. AND THEN WITHOUT ANY
NOTICE TO ANYONE AND NO DONOR
NOTICES BEFORE THEY MADE A
CONTRIBUTION, THEY’RE GOING TO
MAKE SOME POLITICAL JUDGMENT
THAT THEY THINK THIS ISN’T A
WORTHY CAUSE ANYMORE AND IS JUST
SHUT DOWN AFTER RAISING MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS?
FOLKS WANTED TO HELP IN THIS
PROIT’S AGAINST HEAVY-HANDED --
PROTEST AGAINST HEAVY-HANDED
GOVERNMENT AS PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS
DONE HISTORICALLY WHEN
GOVERNMENT SEEKS TO OVERREACH
AND TAKE AWAY FREEDOMS OF ITS
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE PUSH BACK PEACEFULLY, AND
YOU HAVE A BUSINESS HERE WHO
MAKES MONEY OFF PEOPLE WANTING
TO COE NATE TO THAT AND THEN --
DONATE TO THAT AND THEN JUST
SHUTTING IT DOWN.
GOVERNOR DeSANTIS WAS PLEATLY
RIGHT IN CALLING OUT THAT
NONSENSE SENSE, POSSIBLY ILLEGAL
BEHAVIOR.
RACHEL: YEAH, IT SEEMS TO ME NOW
THEIR TURN AROUND IS, OKAY,
WE’RE GOING TO GIVE YOU YOUR
MONEY BACK, BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT
THE DONORS WANTED.
THEY WANTED THE MONEY TO GO TO
THE TRUCKERS, AND SOMEHOW
GOFUNDME DECIDED THE TRUCKERS
WEREN’T WORTHY.
GO FUND MAINE FUNDED AND THAT IF
SILL TATED DONATIONS TO BLM WHO,
YOU KNOW, GETS MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS -- DID MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS IN DAMAGE, LOOTING, 34
PEOPLE DEAD, WHY IS THAT OKAY
AND THIS ISN’T?
AND ISN’T THIS ABSOLUTELY
DISCRIMINATORY?
>> THINK ABOUT THIS: NOT ONLY
DID THEY SUPPORT THAT CAMPAIGN,
C.H.O.P. WHEN THEY TOOK OVER A
WHOLE AREA AND PEOPLE WERE
GETTING HURT, ASSAULTED, THERE
WAS EVEN A DEATH, THEY EVEN SENT
OUT A SEPARATE TWEET THEMSELVES
TO ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO DONATE TO
THAT A CAUSE.
AND THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING.
HOW IN THE WORLD CAN YOU NOW
COME IN AND MAKE A POLITICAL
JUDGMENT, IMPOSE YOUR POLITICAL
WILL WHEN FOLKS ARE TRYING TO
SUPPORT THOSE STANDING UP FOR
THEIR FREEDOM, FOR THEIR RIGHTS.
AND THAT’S WHY GOVERNOR
DeSANTIS IS SO EFFECTIVE AND
TIMELY IN SAYING, LOOK, WE’RE
NOT GOING TO PUT UP WITH THIS
HYPOCRITICAL NONSENSE BY BIG
BUSINESS.
AND WHAT HE DOES EFFECTIVELY IS
CALL THAT OUT.
AND, YOU KNOW, I’VE STOOD WITH
HIM SINCE DAY ONE IN MAKING SURE
WE’RE PROTECTING FLORIDIANS,
THAT THEY STILL HAVE THEIR
INDIVIDUAL LIBERTIES AND
FREEDOMS WHILE WE’RE DOING
EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PROTECT THE
HEALTH AND SAFETY AND WELFARE OF
FLORIDIANS.
BUT THAT’S WHY PEOPLE ARE TAKING
REFUGE IN FLORIDA.
RACHEL: YEAH.
>> THEY’RE COMING FROM ALL
PLACES, NEW YORK, CALIFORNIA,
YOU NAME IT, BECAUSE THEY KNOW
WE WILL ALWAYS BE A BEACON OF
FREEDOM, AND WE WILL WORK HARD
TO PROTECT THEIR RIGHTS.
RACHEL: YEAH.
WELL, YOU’RE NOT ALONE ARE.
TEXAS AND LOUISIANA HAVE JOINED
YOU.
WE MIGHT SEE A MOVEMENT TO
PROTECT CONSERVATIVES WHO ARE
BEING DISCRIMINATED BY THESE BIG
TECH COMPANIES.
WE APPRECIATE YOU STANDING UP SO
QUICKLY TO DEFEND CONSERVATIVES
IN THIS CAUSE AND THE TRUCKERS
WHO DEFINITELY DESERVE, DESERVE
WHAT THE DONORS WANT TO GIVE
THEM.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US
