Right using fundraiser for Karmelo Anthony as excuse to raise funds for racist Shiloh Hendrix

OVER THE PAST WEEK, portions of the American right have embraced a Minnesota woman whose claim to fame is that she allegedly called a 5-year-old boy the n-word, going so far as to help her raise hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But the development has also confounded others in the MAGA movement, including some well-known personalities who warn that it’s not the best of looks to celebrate an overtly racist, highly viral rant.

“Black people just raised $500,000 for a cold-blooded killer who stabbed a white teenager to death,” white nationalist and onetime Donald Trump dinner companion Nick Fuentes tweeted, in reference to Anthony’s crowdfunding. “So I don’t want to hear ONE WORD about the Shiloh Hendrix fundraiser. Either everybody gets to be tribal or nobody does.”

After Hendrix’s fundraiser outpaced Anthony’s own total in just a few days, Elijah Schaffer, a former host for Glenn Beck’s the Blaze, posted a video of a man jubilantly singing, with the caption: “Me the morning I saw Shiloh Hendrix passed Karmelo Anthony on GiveSendGo.”

All of this has made some MAGA personalities a bit uncomfortable, under the belief that maybe the right shouldn’t exalt or financially support a woman who called a child a racist slur. Riley Gaines, a college swimmer who became a conservative pundit over her opposition to trans participation in sports, posted on X that Hendrix’s fundraising success had to be a joke, adding that the right did not need “a white Karmelo Anthony.”
