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

It is true that the Minnesota Freedom Fund is part of a movement to cut back or eliminate cash bail, but the timing of this has very bad optics. Even if it is not the intention, for the campaign organizer to make that donation at the specific time to the Minnesota Freedom Fund no less, makes it look like she was supporting the rioting that was going on there. She is not even a campaign organizer in Minnesota.
Excerpt: “It is up to everyone to fight injustice,” Colleen May, who identified herself as an campaign organizer for Biden in South Carolina, Wisconsin and Florida, said in a Twitter post that included an image of her receipt from donating $50 to the Minnesota Freedom Fund.
The OP did clearly present this as totally different than what it actually was.
