Before Proud Boys member Nick Ochs was arrested and charged in connection with the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, he raised $300 on the Christian-oriented website GiveSendGo.com to help get him to DC.
Following Ochs’ arrest, a supporter turned to GiveSendGo to raise money for his legal defense, a campaign that has garnered nearly $20,000 for the member of the right-wing extremist group.
The campaigns for Ochs weren’t the only controversial causes on the site. A CNN review found more than two dozen fundraisers related to protesting the outcome of the presidential election, raising travel funds to attend the January 6 protest in Washington and other right-wing causes.
