SOURCE: Wall GoFundMe just paid for a 'nearly' $1 million yacht

A source close to the Florida man who raised over $22 million on GoFundMe in the “We The People Will Build the Wall” campaign just revealed today that the money has been diverted to pay for a ‘million dollar’ yacht and high-flying lifestyle.

This article draws on the use of an anonymous source whose identity is being protected because they stepped forward to expose what they believe is a wrong-doing or possibly criminal fraud by the Wall GoFundMe campaign that received over 300,000 individual donations.***

That source is a known activist that is pro-Trump and has gone on Fox News for his bipartisan cause. The source told The Stern Facts that they “ironically” know Brian Kolfage, who built that Wall Go Fund Me page.

According to the source, Brian Kolfage personally confided that was “broke” last year after his “really fake” news empire collapsed and Facebook “deplatformed” him.


That anonymous source shared an Instagram post highlighting Kolfage’s recent purchase of a fine seagoing vessel which they believe is “close to a million dollars.”

Kolfage is a Purple-heart decorated war veteran and triple-amputee who lost an empire on Facebook of literally “fake news” after the 2016 election.

Kolfage’s GoFundMe page touched a nerve amongst Trump supporters during the President’s government shutdown and while nearly suspended, was subjected to a mass opt-out.

Kolfage and so many others on the right are merely bilking the brainless deplorables because they value hate more than their own pocketbooks. I don't feel sorry for the deplorables who donated; but I am not cheering on these grifters, either.

so a new yacht to survey tRumpie's swamp comes as little surprise. Next, perhaps, a locomotive so tRumpie can keep his campaign "on the rails"?

Suckers who thought they got a big tax break,, threw those extra 25 bucks on their check into this scam,,

I wanna type paragraphs about how idiotic and obvious republicans are. (capital ignored intentionally) but I would only be preaching to the choir. Funny how Rubes just give money and then never wonder or think or check what their money did..
