The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah, not known for his conservative commentary, savaged fired FBI agent Peter Strzok for having the audacity to set up a GoFundMe page to pay his legal bills.
Mike Brest, at The Daily Caller, explains:
“OK, first up, this is some bullshit we need to address about GoFundMe in general. How do people say, ‘This is the amount I need,’ and change the amount when they get it?” He asked.
“That’s not a thing,” he continued. “Like, imagine you met someone on the street and they’re like, ‘Hey man, can you help me out? I need $50 to go see my family.’ You’re like, ‘OK, here, here.’ He like, ‘Now that I’ve reached $50, I now need $100 to see my family.’ You’ll be like, ‘What the f**k are you doing, man?’”
Strzok, who was fired Friday over anti-Trump text messages he sent in 2016 and 2017, initially sought $150,000 to help pay for legal bills and lost income. That number rose to $350,000 and then again to $500,000 after the donations continued coming in.
As of Thursday night, Strzok’s page has raised over $425,000, which is approaching his half-a-million goal. During that same time period, over 11,000 people have donated to the cause with the highest donation being $2,000.
Noah found it particularly despicable for a disgraced law enforcement agent to scam people out of nearly half-a-million dollars all because they hate Trump.
So much for donating to cancer patients.
