“We are not here to celebrate violence, but we do believe in the constitutional right of fair legal representation,” say whatever group organized the crowdfund on “Christian”-themed GoFundMe clone GiveSendGo for the very credibly accused killer of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Maybe “group” is even a stretch here. For all we know it could just be a single individual planning to abscond with the $45,000+ raised so far. But whatever happens, you can’t say they don’t have an eye for ironic trolling given the friggin name of the “movement” supporting Luigi Mangione, which is about as subtle as a bullet in its reference to similar January 6th-themed MAGA groups.

Then there’s the site they used: A few times in National Zero’s history we noted that, due to YouTube’s content algorithms squashing our videos and sometimes even hitting us with suspensions falsely accusing us of promoting violence, COVID conspiracy shit, 2020 election denialism, and so on, we began to post certain riskier clips on the lower-quality MAGA-centric video platform Rumble for our embeds here, the irony being that the mainstream platform was too restrictive for a left-leaning operation. Just as Rumble was purpose-built for right wing propagandists to have a space free of the “oppressive censorship” of YouTube, GiveSendGo was built to allow Red Staters, some of them straight up terrorists and/or Neo-Nazis, access to donations GoFundMe long ago prohibited, a similar horseshoe-ing of non-MAGA politics into MAGA-centric spaces (Even if Mangione’s idiosyncratic personal politics appear to be more Trump fandom-adjacent than not, it’s still an extremely safe bet that the person(s) who launched this campaign – if it isn’t a scam – are leftists).

GiveSendGo campaigns accept “prayers” too, as you can see in the above. Mangione is managing a far better cash-to-prayer ratio than Capitol rioter Jenna “Private Jet Karen” Ryan did in 2021.
