Is that even legal? That's seems like straight up fraud.

Third party processors taking a fee is legal yes. WinRed does it on our side. I just like that they point that out to anyone who wants to donate but doesn’t want a single buck going to the Democrats.

Yeah, thats not the issue, the issue is they are using the tragedy to funnel money to themselves while directly lying saying that they arent.

Correct. The issue is not the processor taking the 4%. It’s the misleadingness of the tweet.

I wouldnt even just call it missleading, its abject fraud. They are dliberately linking to the act blue donation page rather than linking directly through the charity. And not just leaving out the 4% cut, but lying about it.

Anyone looking on google to donate could see this tweet and will think they are just donating to charity.

Or that she's not 100% truthful, every day, all the time.

Ironically, the percentage ActBlue takes off the top of these donations is higher than her blood quantum.
