At least 13 Biden campaign staff members have made donations to the Minnesota Freedom Fund. The group opposes cash bail, in which those charged with crimes must put up money before trial or remain in jail.

The group is using the funding to cover bail for those jailed in Minneapolis, according to Reuters.

Your headline is totally misleading.

There is a major national movement to cut back or eliminate bail, and certainly cops have a horrible record of unjustly arresting people - even when not hustling them off into unmarked vans.

To claim it's to support riots is somewhere between being hugely misleading and lying outright.

But as some have stated - they're aware and they don't care.

I don't know which is worse.

Direct Source is Reuters
Which is linked to in OP's wnd article link. Legit source.

Just want to point that out, in order to remove the, Oh, look at the source., meme. Unfortunately, that is a common tactic by the cancel culture zeitgeist polizei.
WND turns the whole thing on its head.

Reuters source:
"Campaign staff for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden are advertising their donations..."

"At least 13 Biden campaign staff members posted on Twitter on Friday and Saturday that they made donations to the Minnesota Freedom Fund"

They were not "caught" or attempting to hide it.

"WorldNetDaily (WND) is an American news and opinion website and online news aggregator which has been described as "fringe" and far right as well as politically conservative. The website is known for promoting falsehoods and conspiracy theories."

Yep. Another junk conspiracy theory website.

There is a reason that the OP didn’t use the reputable source. It’s because the truth is quite different than the right wing propaganda lie his source twists it into. This is why the source matters. His lying rag is spinning a mistruth.

They do link to Reuters though since they know their readers won’t care enough about the truth to double check.

HERE you go, some more sources : I might add that them paying the rioters bail has been going on for weeks.

Any of them making the claim that they were “caught” as in your original post and link?

Dude, it is linked to a Reuters article. Read what the poster said about it right before you posted.
