A bail fund once backed by Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2020 presidential campaign that helped free violent criminals is back in the spotlight as the website appears to still be taking in donations.

As of Monday night, the website was running and accepting payments. 

"If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota," Harris posted on X, then Twitter, back in 2020, urging people to donate to the fund during the 2020 campaign. 

Harris promoted the bail fund in June 2020 to help bail Black Lives Matter rioters out of jail, but only a fraction of the more than $41 million actually went to freeing rioters.

Minneapolis-based FOX 9 reported that the fund spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to free an alleged knife murderer and a convicted rapist who was facing charges of sexual assault and kidnapping, among others.

Another criminal, George Howard, 48, also reaped the benefits of the funds. He allegedly became involved in a road rage altercation on an Interstate 94 entrance ramp before he shot another driver, according to Minneapolis police – weeks after bailing out on domestic assault charges.

Surveillance video recorded the moments when the driver of a blue BMW confronted Howard, who was driving a white Volvo, according to St. Paul’s KSTP-TV. The victim can be seen punching Howard, then collapsing.

The victim, later identified as Luis Damian Martinez Ortiz, 38, got back into his car, then drove into the median. He was pronounced dead at the hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest, according to city officials. 

Howard had been out on $11,500 bond in connection with a domestic assault case since Aug. 6, court records show. That’s when the Minnesota Freedom Fund bailed him out.

On Aug. 29, he was charged with two counts of second-degree murder in connection with the interstate shooting.

The Minnesota Freedom Fund tweeted Friday admitting to its role in putting Howard back on the streets.

"We are aware of reports of the tragic and fatal shooting in Minneapolis earlier this week allegedly involving George Howard, an individual the Minnesota Freedom Fund had previously provided with bail support," the group wrote. "MFF believes that every individual who has been arrested by the law enforcement is innocent until proven guilty, and if a judge deems them eligible for bail, they should not have to wait in jail simply because they don’t have the same income or access to resources as others."

The group said it was monitoring the case and reviewing its policies.

"Under new leadership, MFF has implemented changes to its policies and procedures, and we will continue to assess them to ensure that we are being responsive to the safety and needs of our community," it said in a follow-up tweet.

According to the Minnesota Freedom Fund website, their mission is to "pay cash bail and immigration bonds for those who can’t afford it, because wealth should never decide who is kept in detention and who goes free."

Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign for comment.

Well there goes all hope for making recreational cannabis federally legal…unless she feels differently but I’m guessing she doesn’t.  

Imo that'll come from congress, and any Dem president won't lift a pen to stop it.

Sounds like he can't wait; he wants President Harris right now. 

Funny they still want to focus on Biden

Fear of losing to VP Harris is palpable

they paid good money for those "let's go barndon" t shirts! they want to get their money's worth in bile spewed before the election.

I didn’t even think about that!  They are probably irate!  Trump will buy them new ones.  

trump won't even buy eric an ice cream cone. he isn't buying anybody anything, lol

:rofl:

George Clooney endorses Harris. Thanks Biden for saving democracy. 

What a noble gentleman and a hero to all.

Trump is now on his second nickname for Harris in less than two days. 

This confused old man spends more time on dumb shit like this than policy. He's just too old to be president. Trump needs to drop out of this race.

I agree “Hawk Tuah Harris” was completely inappropriate

I think it's closer to $100M now

That isn't a lot.  She will need 10x that to make a dent.  But if she got 100 mill in like 2 days she should be fine.

I would expect a nice superpac donation from Bidens campaign group?  Is that even legal to do? I don't know anymore.

$100M in a couple of days is not a lot? Huh?

She also inherits Biden's funds dude...

It’s absolutely insane the amount of money that is blown on these campaigns. It’s even more insane that people willingly give these candidates their money.

These are small and first time donors. It’s the between the lines info that’s the takeaway. It actually IS a lot for 24 hours. People are motivated.

Also, when she accepts the nomination in August the Biden campaign account is transferred over to her. He was behind in fundraising by $70million by the end of the June quarter. The Harris campaign made up and over took that in 1 day.

As a Canadian, I find it appalling how much money us spent on politics in the states. I honestly find it kind if gross. People send money to millionaires when the amount of money spent could probably end homelessness in the entire country in one cycle. 

Tim Simmons

Oh it’s definitely gross.

How long are your election cycles? I think they are much shorter right?

Perhaps one good thing that will come from this is shortening the amount of time it takes to elect a president. The fact that is a year and a half to two years is bat shit crazy to me. I feel like Trump has been running, nonstop, since 2015. It is beyond exhausting. 

(btw--I am not naïve enough to think something will actually change for the better like this...but a kid can dream can't he?!)

It is disgusting. Such a waste and possibly our eventual downfall.

It’s a huge reason someone wins. Biden essentially had to withdraw because the mega donors said the money was stopping. So now a handful of billionaires selected Kamala over having an
open convention?

Maybe he'll rip off a pre-ripped t-shirt at the convention so we can view him as an important mind in US government.

6 weeks. 

I don’t understand how your elected officials get anything done. It’s constant campaigning.
