Webpage asking for donations to BLM actually directs donation to Democrat PAC "ActBlue"
Bet you never heard this one: Website was asking for donations to BLM, but someone thought to take a look at the code instructing what to do when someone clicked on the "Donate" button.
Turns out if you clicked the "Donate" button it took users to ACTBLUE, a Democrat PAC--which accepted the donation to itself.
"Whoa, I thought the donation was to BLM."
"Hey, don't worry, citizen," say the folks who run ActBlue. "We'll be sure to transfer the funds to BLM. Really. Trust us!"
Wonder how many people who wanted to donate money to BLM knew their money was actually going to the Democrat PAC ActBlue?
But really, what's the difference, eh? Same folks.
