Bill Ackman's $10,000 donation to the GoFundMe campaign for ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who killed a mother of three in Minneapolis, has raised questions about the billionaire hedge fund manager's involvement in the fundraising effort. Ackman, known for his outspoken views on social issues, shared a post from right-wing influencer on Saturday and donated $10,000 to the campaign.
The campaign, created by an account using the name Clyde Emmons, was linked to white supremacist imagery and called Renee Nicole Good "a stupod bitch who got what she deserved." The image used as the profile picture on Emmons's Facebook page depicts a Nazi salute and is considered a hate symbol. GoFundMe has since investigated the campaign and removed it if it falls under their rules.
Ackman, an outspoken critic of alleged antisemitism on American university campuses, aligns with ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt on this issue. Ackman supported the ADL's defense of what many observers thought was a Nazi salute by Elon Musk; ADL called it "awkward gesture."
The Trump administration has defended Ross's killing of Good as justified, while Minnesota state leaders call for an investigation. Video obtained by The Intercept shows events that contradict the administration's accounts of that morning.
A GoFundMe campaign created by Emmons raised nearly half a million dollars for Ross, with Ackman's donation being the largest to date. Other donors included some individuals who posted white supremacist imagery and expressed support for violence against protesters.

What's next, is he gonna start a GoFundMe to raise money for white supremacist groups? I don't get it, he's all about speaking out against antisemitism on campuses but now he's backing someone who's basically a neo-Nazi. It's like he's wearing two different hats... one that says "I care about social justice" and another that says "I'm willing to do whatever it takes to support hate groups". Give me a break, Bill! 
$10k donation from bill ackman to fundraiser for ice agent who killed a mom of 3 
? like wut is that about?! 
money shouldnt talk 
. the fact that gofundme had to remove the campaign because of white supremacist imagery 
is just another example of how far we have to go 
... didnt he do somethin wrong?! 
. we need more love 
and less hate 
. Bill Ackman donating $10,000 to a GoFundMe campaign that was created by someone with white supremacist ties is just plain weird. Like, what's his side of the story here? Is he really okay with supporting a guy who killed an innocent mom of three? And why did he share a post from some right-wing influencer without even thinking about where it came from? It's just not cool, you know? The fact that GoFundMe had to remove the campaign is a total red flag too. Can we get some more transparency here? 
like seriously how can ppl donate to a fund that literally glorifies hate crimes?! i mean bill ackman got roasted for donating but honestly, shouldn't ppl be calling out the dude who created this whole situation in the first place? Clyde emmons, where r u?! 
... it's just weird. he's always talking about social issues, but now he's supporting a guy who killed a mom of three? 
how does that even fit into his worldview? and what's up with all these other people donating to the campaign too? 
they're all saying some pretty messed up stuff online... it just feels like a weird coincidence. gofundme should've caught on to this sooner, imo 
and it just raises more questions like how did his team vet this guy? and what's up with the fact that everyone who donated seems to be kinda... weird 
. and let's not forget jonathan ross killed a mom of three 
, like, can't we just focus on getting justice for her family instead of throwing money at the guy who did it? 
. Can't we just have empathy and understanding instead of hate speech? 
. And now Bill Ackman is involved, which is even more concerning considering his history of speaking out against alleged antisemitism on campus 
And what about all the other donors who are also spreading hate and supporting violence? It's just so... messed up 
.
. It's like he's using his platform to further his own agenda rather than actually making a positive impact 
. And Ackman's got some nerve aligning himself with the ADL on antisemitism issues, considering he was so quick to support that awkward Elon Musk gesture 
. just 'cause he shared a post from some right-wing influencer don't mean he's all about hate. maybe he was trying to stir up some conversation?
