Summary

Bradley Bartell, a Trump voter from Wisconsin, started a GoFundMe to raise $3,000 for his wife Camila Muñoz’s bond after ICE detained her.

Muñoz, a Peruvian citizen, overstayed her work-study visa due to the pandemic and was seeking legal residency as Bartell’s spouse. She was arrested returning from a honeymoon in Puerto Rico.

Bartell continues to maintain that he does not regret voting for Trump.

Since Trump’s return to office, ICE has arrested over 90,000 immigrants.

      Damn that sucks if true. I really do feel bad for them, but like what is the point of me donating if he’s not going to speak out against this administration. Doesn’t he realize it’s not just about his situation, but for everyone else who’s also impacted by this? I rather give to another family that will not only use these funds to hopefully turn their situation around but also you know like then also give back/help others and speak out. To be honest I didn’t look into OP’s comment to fact check because you know I’m only human, busy and got problems of my own. If true though this is really sad …

        There are already too many deserving charities for my pocket book. Giving money to an unrepentant Trump voter who got exactly what he voted for gets my sympathy, but not a dime.

        Actually, no. Studies have shown that those who lean conservative tend to have a diminished ability to feel empathy. There’s a good chance that he simply cannot comprehend that others could be negatively affected by his actions. In his mind, he’s all that matters.

          theres also a study of conservative brains, that thier amydala, fear response is much higher too. so they are totally addicted to fear based rhetoric.

        Doesn’t he realize it’s not just about his situation,

        He probably just wants his wife to stay, but everybody else to be thrown out.

        I really do feel bad for them

        Why?

    They thought Trump was gonna make them all so rich, now they’re begging for money and eggs. And it’s just the beginning.

    Stay in school.

      Sch… school? They’re dismantling the public institutions keeping education accessible. If they get their way, it’s going to be straight to the farm, factory, and then Republican ballot boxes 18 years later.

    I’m not against helping but in this case …

    1. “overstayed her work-study visa” -> Break the rules and it’s likely there will be consequences. The reason why does not matter. ( although the case handling officer can show sympathy if they seem the reason valid )
    2. I’m no Trump fan, but he was clear on his plans, yet he still voted for trump

    So, no, I’m not donating.

      Checking conservative media, they are saying Trump saved him $2,999.99 in egg costs… So close, sadly not enough.

    You wanna know what you could have done to avoid it? Not vote for the obvious fascist. He literally told you he wanted to do this since 2016.
