GoFundMe has suspended a fundraiser for a cafe in Birmingham, Alabama, set up by African-American conservative commentator Candace Owens after she posted a viral video declaring that she does “not support George Floyd and the media depiction of him as a martyr for black America.”

The fundraising platform says it suspended the account because of Owens’ alleged “repeated pattern of inflammatory statements that spread hate, discrimination, intolerance and falsehoods against the black community at a time of profound national crisis.” The targeting of the campaign, Owens blasted back, is “a blatant form of discrimination.”
