USA Today reports: Who says sending anti-Trump texts to your girlfriend doesn’t pay?

From the Seattle Stranger: Twitter banned Milo Yiannopoulos from its platform after the Breitbart editor spearheaded a racist harassment campaign against black Saturday Night Live actor Leslie Jones, but at least one tech company is continuing to make money off of Yiannopoulos’s racist, sexist, anti-Muslim, and anti-trans vitriol.

JMG reader Nick points us to this GoFundMe drive in which steel worker Chris Rouston admits that he was fired after repeated anti-gay proselytizing to coworkers. Sure, his boss DID totally say to cut that shit out, but Jesus is the REAL boss of the steel plant, so send him money. From the money beg: Chris shared Ray Comforts new …

World Net Daily whines: The left-leaning fundraising site GoFundMe has declined to accept a fundraising campaign for jailed Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk Kim Davis.

Last week GoFundMe yanked the fundraising page for Oregon’s Sweet Cakes bakery after complaints that the money beg was in violation of their posted ban on “campaigns in defense of formal charges or claims of heinous crimes, violent, hateful, sexual acts.” The cancellation spawned immediately outrage across Teabagistan and many calls for a boycott of GoFundMe.

Yesterday the Heritage Foundation questioned demonstrators outside the Supreme Court, asking their opinion about GoFundMe’s cancellation of the fundraising page of the Oregon bakers. They write: Why does GoFundMe, a crowdsourcing website that raises money for a variety of personal causes and life events, get to choose who they do business with, but the owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa …

Apparently the homofacsists have claimed another victory as the GoFundMe page for Cottonelle Stutzman has been deleted, presumably for the same reason that the page for the Oregon bakery was removed.

Todd Starnes writes at Fox News: Within hours of the ruling, the Family Research Council facilitated the establishment of a GoFundMe account to help the Kleins raise the money the need.
