The Florida man who last month launched a GoFundMe page to raise money for President Donald Trump’s long-promised border wall is ending the campaign, he said Friday.
Instead, he now plans to build the wall himself.
“When I created this fundraiser, I said if we did not reach our goal we will refund donors,” Brian Kolfage said in a statement posted to the GoFundMe page. “I am honoring that commitment today. We will promptly refund your donation unless you tell us you approve our new plan for action.”
Kolfage, an Air Force veteran, claimed that he would start his own charity and organize resources to begin construction on the wall. He tapped former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and Blackwater founder Erik Prince as advisers.
“We are better equipped than our own government to use the donated funds to build an actual wall on the southern border,” he said. “Our team strongly believes that we can complete our segments of the wall for less than half of the government’s estimated costs on a per mile basis.”
Kobach? Prince? What a pair to draw to. Makes you wonder how many of Trump’s base will buy into this bullshit.
