The South Bend FOP Lodge says GoFundMe shut down the fundraiser for Sgt. Ryan O’Neill after garnering over $5k. The company told FOP Local President Mills it was because it supported “a hate crime.” He says he is “shocked” and moved the fundraising campaign to the Fundly website.
O'Neill commented on the Fundly page today saying in part, "Being thrown into the middle of a Presidential campaign was something we never anticipated. The support we've received is tremendous and has helped to balance the intense pressure we're under."
Mills also appeared on Tucker Carlson's show on Fox Tuesday. The Fundly campaign has already raised more than $40,000.
