As the city of Minneapolis burned during the rioting of 2020, following the murder of George Floyd, Kamala Harris went completely woke, celebrating the destruction. Then the Democratic vice presidential candidate, Harris begged her supporters to donate millions to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a group that bailed out rioters and other violent criminals.
Now, as she ascended to the top of the ticket, those actions are returning to haunt her and her party. Donald Trump will not be letting the Democrats and their allies in the media sweep her role in promoting the violence of 2020 under the rug.
The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the video, which Trump will unveil at his rally in St. Cloud. The video specifically highlights a number of these criminals who were bailed out by the Minnesota Freedom Fund and the media coverage detailing Harris’s support of the bail fund, which has continued to haunt her as Americans are deeply concerned about violent crime.
Harris’s support for the MFF is still live on Act Blue as of today, encouraging donations for the bail fund with a photo of her face. Her Twitter and Facebook pages also share the link. The Daily Caller News Foundation originally reported that the MFF bailed out six men accused of domestic violence, a man accused of sexually penetrating a child, and a man who allegedly stomped on his victim’s head.
Harris has previously shown her support for the defund the police movement and her current communications director, Brian Fallon, tweeted “defund the police” in 2020. Meanwhile, the Harris campaign has been pushing the “prosecutor vs felon” narrative as a dig at Trump.
The video mentions criminals such as Donovan Boone, who was charged with invading the home of his ex-girlfriend and strangling her. Other names mentioned include Christopher Boswell, who is a twice-convicted rapist that was charged with kidnapping, assault, and sexual assault in 2020. Darnika Floyd, who was charged with second-degree murder after fatally stabbing a man who refused to have sex with her. Thomas Moseley, who was arrested for damaging a police station, drugs and rioting charges and Shawn Tillman who murdered a passenger at a train station in St. Paul, Minnesota just after being released.
The rioting in American cities during 2020 resulted in severe financial and social costs due to widespread criminal activities. The extensive damage caused by looting, vandalism, and arson led to insurance claims estimated between $1 billion and $2 billion, making it the most expensive civil disturbance in U.S. history.
The rampant rise in crime, coinciding with the push to defund police departments, which Kamala Harris also supported, had devastating effects on countless businesses, many of which were already struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These businesses faced significant losses in revenue, and many were forced to close permanently.
