Senator Ted Cruz is demanding the FTC launch an investigation into GoFundMe for seizing the Freedom Convoy 2022 funds of over $10 million. The crowdsourcing platform is currently returning the money to donors after they first demanded donors fill out a form requesting it. That doesn’t change the fact that seven Republican Attorneys General are going to investigate them. At the same time, the funds for the truckers are rapidly pouring in to GiveSendGo.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said he sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking for an investigation into GoFundMe after the for-profit crowdfunding platform ended the fundraiser for Canadian truckers.
“Today I sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking that the FTC open an investigation into GoFundMe into whether they’ve committed deceptive trade practices,” Cruz told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”
“Because when people gave money, they gave money under the promise it would go to the Freedom Convoy, not to whatever left-wing political ideology GoFundMe and other Silicon Valley companies support. They are deceiving consumers and it is wrong,” he said.
Does he have a point? The truckers took on this protest believing they would be able to pay for their food and fuel with these funds. Then, because of leftist officials, they caved. There was no such caving with the violent, communist Capitol Hill occupiers (CHAZ/CHOP).
The truckers don’t need GoFundMe.
RACKING UP THE FUNDS
GoFundMe’s misbehavior got more publicity for the protest and the stalwart truckers who are ignoring threats of imprisonment by officials as they continue the protest into the eighth day.
The goal is $16,000,000 since the truckers plan to stay until they win. In the past day, GiveSendGo raised $3,234,617 and that’s with constant DDOS and bot attacks. The stability of the fundraising page is much better. Rumble offered to help and that could be why. They are raising the money much faster than the leftist crowdfunding source, GoFundMe.
Canadian TV host, author, reporter, Ezra Levant believes that Justin Trudeau is responsible for GoFundMe seizing the Freedom Convoy funds. However, the more immediate link is the leftist Mayor of Ottawa and his staff.
Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly admits on City Council livestream that the Mayor and his staff were responsible for getting the GoFundMe program shut down.

When Managers at Go Fund Me are in Jail, I will be happy. We must make High Tech Oligarchs pay heavily when they go after groups they don’t like for political reasons. What we will find when we start taking these people to trial is how the Government is pressuring these people to do things the Government can’t do legally. All these Big Tech Operations are basically modern Utilities which need to be downsized because of no competition or very heavily regulated. No Monopoly or Public Traded Company has any right to determine what behavior is right or wrong by saying it’s against company policy. The Government gave these High Tech companies a gift with 230 and these Companies are abusing their freedom from lawsuit. No Company should be exempt from Lawsuits, but frivolous law suits should cost a lawyer their license and the plaintiffs financially. Their needs to be limits on damages, no business should be sued out of business unless someone in management is convicted criminally first. Only in very rare cases should Government have Sovereign Immunity and both Judges and Bureaucrats should not have any immunity for gross abuse of their office. Government should protect and serve The People, not Business, Politicians, Bureaucrats, or Judges!
I would bet money the mayor received his orders from the dictator in chief Justin Trudeau.
Trudeau is the one who went on Canadian tv and said that people who are opposed to being forced to be vaccinated and forced to carry a vax passport were often , and I quote ” extremists, racists, white supremacists ”
He also said in a speech that the truckers were violent which was 100% a LIE.
He alluded to the truckers being domestic terrorists and asked for the FBI to help.
I have serious doubt the order did not come from Trudeau.
Either that or the mayor was bribed to be the scapegoat, to lie and claim he is the one who is responsible, so that the blame could not be put on Trudeau.
Trudeau was caught about a year ago taking money from a charity called ” we” and giving it to his mother, his brother and his wife…my point being Trudeau is capable of ANYTHING
Leftists are usually bad people who feel no guilt, no remorse, have no conscience, will do anything to get what they want, and surround themselves with corrupt people who will help and protect them.
Alright! Now something will get done; a politician will write a letter and we can all rest assured the problem is solved.
I really tire from all these politicians who want nothing more than appease the masses with their words and little else. They know it will music to the ears of supporters. There has been very few times where actions follow words. Who, in their right minds would believe the FTC will even consider the proposition. Of course, when in the minority, you will see legislation all over the place and once in the majority, utter silence. I, for one, am no longer captivated by mere words. Oh, they may put on a “show” during a Congressional hearing to stir the minds of the fools who will applaud with exultation, and everything will continue unabated. Money will continue to flow and the cycle repeats itself.
