'Chilling': Shock as fundraiser for ICE agent flooded with vitriol for slain Minnesota mom
A political analyst was appalled Monday at the "chilling" comments left on an online fundraiser created to help defend a federal immigration agent who shot a Minneapolis mother of three dead in her car last week.
The right-wing blog Alpha News scored a scoop when it obtained Jonathan Ross's cell phone footage showing him killing Renee Good. The footage, shared by Vice President JD Vance, has helped line Ross's pockets since the killing.
Conservative podcaster Liz Collin wasted no time promoting multiple fundraisers for Ross. One GoFundMe, launched by Clyde Emmons of Mount Forest, Michigan, featured brutal language that appalled Edith Olmstead of The New Republic.
"The stupod (sic) c---s want to make a go fund me for the stupod b----that got what she deserved," Emmons wrote on Facebook, calling Ross the "ICE officer who did his job."
Olmstead noted that in just three days, the fundraiser raked in $489,000 of its $550,000 goal. Even conservative billionaire Bill Ackman got in the action, dropping $10,000, making him the largest donor.
Collin promoted a second fundraiser as the "preferred method" to support Ross. That fundraiser's creator called Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey an "anti-American" traitor "who is Jewish." Emmons claimed the second fundraiser had established "direct contact" with Jonathan.
