Supporters of Hoyt Hutchinson, an Alabama man who has gained widespread attention after he was charged in connection with the knifing of a “Baby Trump†balloon used to protest the president’s recent appearance in Alabama, have raised thousands of dollars to help him pay legal fees.
A GoFundMe created Saturday that asks for donations to help Hutchinson “pay legal fees and restitutions†for the balloon has so far raised more than $30,000. The goal for that fundraising page was initially set at $6,000.
Another GoFundMe that aimed to “FREE HOYT†shortly after his arrest raised more than $12,000 during the same period.
