Republicans love minorities. They make such convenient human shields to hide behind while Republicans are inflicting their divisive, racist agenda on the diverse nation of immigrants right-wingers can only pretend to love.
As such, Republicans treat the people of color who declare themselves a member of their kiss up/kick down party like they’re a winning raffle ticket. So, when a woman who goes by the Twitter handle “Reformed Republican” posted a photo of herself in a “Make America Great Again” hat, followed by pleas for tuition money when where Democratic parents supposedly “cut her off” for being a Trump supporter, the Republican dupes quickly filled her “Go Fund Me” page with over $150,000 in donations.
“Reformed Republican” originally posted:
I will not hide any longer,, the left has made us feel as if us black republicans should hide!! but not anymore!! #BlacksForTrump #WalkAway #maga pic.twitter.com/YA0hnarxaY

Followed by the supposed disinheritance in which she said,
“thank you all so much for your overwhelming support. After seeing this tweet my parents cut me off and refuse to pay my university tuition. So if you can find it in your hearts to help, this young black Republican pay for school it would be appreciated.”
I don’t know if these texts were originally real or not, but they were definitely not from her mum / to her pic.twitter.com/CcVoj8TOLJ

Go Fund Me took down her page when they realized it was a scam. Though, “Reformed Republican” had no moral qualms about what she did, saying, “it wasn’t stealing because Republicans aren’t people, to begin with.”
the GoFundMe has been taken down but there was a tweet suggesting she’d scammed about $150k pic.twitter.com/FEKjmTavn1
