Man suspected of raping an 8-year-old girl released with help of bail fund supported by Kamala Harris SEPTEMBER 17, 2020
The Minnesota Freedom Fund, a bail fund that Sen. Kamala Harris continues to fundraise for, contributed to the release of a man who is accused of raping an 8-year-old girl, the Daily Caller reported.
POLL: Do you agree with President Trump's new executive order that establishes a "national commission to promote patriotic education?"
Harris began promoting the fund, which has existed since 2016, during the unrest in Minneapolis following the police killing of George Floyd on May 25.
Harris tweeted that she wanted people to donate in order to help bail out people arrested during the protests.
The fund, which was promoted by other public figures, raised more than $35 million in the aftermath of Floyd's death, but has used only a small percentage of that money.
A Sept. 4 statement on the MFF website said the group has spent about $3.4 million bailing people out, with only $210,000 of that being related to protests.
