GoFundMe is deleting campaigns created to support the Charlottesville attacker

GoFundMe will not allow campaigns supporting the Charlottesville attacker on its platform.

On Monday, James Fields — the man accused of killing Heather Heyer after driving his car into a crowd of counter-protesters demonstrating against Nazis and white nationalists in Charlottesville, Virginia — told a judge at his arraignment that he can’t afford a lawyer.

Since his admission, Fields’ supporters have tried to start GoFundMe pages to boost his alleged $650-biweekly salary as a security guard, but the company is shutting down campaigns created in support of Fields.
