Brett Kavanaugh’s GoFundMe page raises $603,770, surpassing $540,000 raised for Christine Blasey For

The raw emotion and bipartisan outrage sparked by the test vote Friday for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has spilled over into dueling online fundraising efforts.

GoFundMe pages raising money for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford — the woman who testified that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a high school party in 1982 — were flooded with donations after Blasey Ford mentioned the crowdfunding sites during the nationally televised hearing.

By Friday afternoon, a GoFundMe campaign for Blasey Ford had raised a $540,018 and had stopped. Donations to one page jumped from $179,000 before her testimony. A separate fund to raise funds to endow an academic chair and/or scholarships in Blasey Ford’s name raised $29,536.

$540,228 of $150,000 goal https://www.gofundme.com/help-christine-blasey-ford#

I think there was a higher figure but maybe that included other than this. Or maybe anything. At any rate, the above is straight from the page.

Both of them have multiple ones started by their fans, so you probably can get many different numbers depending on how you look at it. 

I find it very weird that strangers would give this much to either. I guess that really shows how much of a game this has become.
