It really doesn’t matter if the amount is true or not, just the fact that MAGA would give any money to a black person who supports Trump says a lot about how little they think of racist people.
Sadly, the $150k number has been greatly exaggerated, but we are going to pretend like that is what happened.
If you want to really know what happened NY Mag as the details.
Over the past few months, the conservative sections of social media have become fixated on the #WalkAway campaign, urging Democrats and minorities to take off their blinders and join the Republican party. Late last month, it seemed that the Republican party had added a black college student named Quran to its ranks.
To make ends meet, Quran set up a GoFundMe, asking for financial support from her newfound Republican fanbase. “[I]f you can find it in your hearts to help this young, black republican pay for school it would be appreciated ????????,” she tweeted. According to subsequent tweets, she ordered a new iPhone XS Max. She had apparently raised enough money for “my tuition, rent, and 17 iphones [sic] now.”
And then the tables turned. Less than three hours after claiming to have been disowned by her family, Quran revealed that the text messages and the MAGA hat were a ruse to scam desperate, insecure Republicans.
The applause started rolling in. Everyone loves a good scam and she seemed to be scamming the right people. Screenshots of her tweets went viral on Twitter as other users aggregated the narrative. A friend texted me a link to a Tumblr photoset that gathered more than 126,000 notes over the weekend. A rumor started circulating that she’d raised more than $150,000.
Unfortunately, I have to be the buzzkill and report that the rumors of Quran’s take are highly exaggerated. Over the phone on Saturday, Quran admitted that she didn’t raise much of anything, and that she’d refunded what she had received. “That’s between me and the IRS,” she said coyly when I asked how much she’d gotten.
The Tweets that suckered in MAGA are great, flip the pages to check them out and if you are in need of some quick money this maybe the route you want to take.
