The core question here is whether Khan-Cullors' purchases are linked to her BLM role, as the post implies.
For this claim, like any others we fact-check, the burden of proof is on the speaker. The post provided no proof of such a connection, the author did not respond to provide any, and we found none in our research, though documents are limited given the nature of the organization and Khan-Cullors' employment history.
I think most everyone will agree the misuse of any funds is not a good thing. I am curious to know ajax, what are your thoughts on the illegal use of funds by the Trump Foundation?
NEW YORK — A New York judge ordered President Donald Trump to pay $2 million to settle a lawsuit alleging he misused his charitable foundation to further his political and business interests.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

I feel that my subsequent comments 'rerailed' my slight derailment with the whataboutism. What are your thoughts though? Do you think there is any merit to the argument that leaders of BLM orgs misused funds?

I, like most people, don’t really have a full or clear picture of BLMNGF’s financials. I see an Economist article referencing $10.6 billion in pledges to BLM and BLM-related charitable causes, but I don’t think anyone has an idea of anyone else’s monies. Even if I agreed with BLM’s mission statement, I wouldn’t donate to it because there’s no obvious oversight and no obvious purpose to the national office’s affiliate offices’ use of funds other than agitating for more funds. The whole thing appears to be a massive grift predicated on grievance theater.

So you do think the Trump Foundation misused funds but you would still donate or you don't think they misused funds at all?
I'd have to see exactly how the Trump campaign funds were misused. I'm not going to take a left wing district attorney, an Obama appointed judge or anyone else with obvious Trump derangement syndromes verdict without hearing more specifics? Is the Trump foundation even a political campaign or some kind of celebrity charity from before he came down the escalator? If you have something specific than I would tell you if it bothers me. But from what I've seen right now, yes I will continue to donate to Donald Trump's campaign. It does my heart good to see him playing golf in south Florida.

It's pretty clear that they brought a $6 million house for $4 million then sold it two weeks later for $6.9 million or more. Nobody knows every detail of it. But it doesn't take a J.D. in tax law to look at the big picture and see as you do that this is a massive grift predicated on grievance theater.

Well Kukulkan we've already got at least one person polled who is happy to be paying for Patrice Cullors suburban SoCal mansion. Is there any way to know who it is?
