If the Democrats won’t do it, the people will. A campaign aimed at raising money for a border wall on the crowdfunding website GoFundMe has raised more than $4 million in under four days.
The Tampa Bay Times reports the page, called “We The People Will Fund The Wall,” was started by Brian Kolfage, a Purple Heart recipient and triple amputee who lost his legs and an arm during a rocket attack in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The campaign was launched earlier this week with a goal of raising $1 billion to donate to the construction of the border wall.
Kolfage said it’s now “our duty as citizens” to raise money for a border wall and argues that “If the 63 million people who voted for Trump each pledge $80, we can build the wall.”
