I couldn't find a single MSM article, or business media, to back up this claim.

After googling and reading through the terms of GiveSendGo, it appears to me that they charge a fee (to the user? to the credit card company? I don't know) for every donation they get by credit card.

And Discover has decided not to do business with GiveSendGo, a shadier and more confusing cousin of GoFundMe.

It looks as simple as that.

If someone can find a MSM article, or business media, that states Discover has tried not to allow their credit card holders to donate to this shooter's fundraising effort, please post it. And no, Reddit isn't MSM.
Story now on Forbes, MSM enough for you?
https://www.forbes.com/sites/karenro...e-rittenhouse/

So MSM in fact, that they are calling all donors to Kyle "Far-Right" and making comparisons to donating to Nazis

Not surprising for Forbes, which has recently become a huge piece of crap

A correlation to this may be the current situation where stores are not allowing cash purchases. Think about where this could lead...you are not allowed to pay with cash, and then you cannot purchase certain items (guns and ammo come to mind) with a card.
This is when things of real value like gold, silver, copper or a service can be used instead of cards or cash.

You think that won't happen?

We are seriously F'd if we don't start taking a hard stand on these things, we are starting to spiral very far down to the point of no return
Agreed. I wish people would wake up and realize the left leaning democrats are trying to enforce an outright dictatorship. They try to disguise it behind some faux liberalism, but it won't take much for these people to use this train of thought against anything they don't like.

Most of the biggest corporations are supporting leftist/liberal/democrat voters, politicians, etc, because their policies of big government with regulations will help destroy smaller companies and prevent new ones from trying to start up, and this in the end eliminate the competition. And, their push for welfare and mass immigration also allows the companies to keep wages low and benefits non existent. Disney hires almost exclusively foreigners on work visas, thanks to the democrat policies. Big manufacturing hubs moved out of the USA thanks to NAFTA, which was signed by Bill Clinton. Many more would have left for good if Hillary got in and signed the TPP.

It's also very left leaning tech companies based in the California Bay area. Jack Dorsey of Twitter is a straight up Karl Marx wannabe

Here is one:

However the Trumpers are wrong that they are going after Rittenhouse donors. As usual Trumpers are exxegerating what happened.

In emails Wednesday and Thursday, the credit card company said it “terminated that merchant for operating regulation violations,” adding, “we regularly review merchants for operating regulations violations; turning off merchants for violations is a typical process for us, but one we don’t make public.”

So they’re using the excuse that Discover broke their rules, but won’t state publicly what. Sounds like it could be legit. Sounds just as likely it could be exactly what was originally posted.

They aren't denying fund raising just not here, I will wait on the trial.

Large corporations have too much power, but in this case I might just chalk it up to a business decision. Let's see if their competitors follow suit. And even if they do, people can still send a check, so there are ways around it.

The paranoia that surrounds Trumpers is astounding. The title of the OP is totally bogus. There are no news stories at all that Discover is trying to cut off money specifically to the Rittenhouse Fundraiser. But what is the case is that one more right wing entity surrounding Trump was doing shady stuff and got caught. Hence Discover cut them off.
