But Christian GiveSendGo, who describes himself as “the leader of Christian funding,” has not only maintained this ultimate life crusade on his platform, but has also managed to raise more than $97,000 through Friday morning.
“Kyle Rittenhouse has just been protected from a brutal attack through several members of the far-left organization ANTIFA; the party was certainly brutal, as he was forced to take two lives to protect his,” the campaign’s description reads. , which also claimed that Rittenhouse had been “wrongly accused” of manslaughter for an incident that was “clearly in self-defense.”

Wilson also showed that GiveSfinishGo had no plans to end the campaign.
As noted above, the law-obsessed teenager sat in line at a rally by President Donald Trump in January.
He has now been charged with murder after shooting two other people monday in protests opposing police violence in Kenosha. Protesters took to the streets following the shooting of Jacob Blake on Sunday through Kenosha police officer Rusten Sheskey.
The teenager from Antioch, Illinois, allegedly crossed the state’s borders, armed with what has been described as a “long weapon,” to help law enforcement and protect public property.
