Discover Financial Services has blocked customers from making donations on a Christian crowdfunding site that was raising money for accused Kenosha gunman Kyle Rittenhouse, a report said.GiveSendGo has raised more than $380,000 for the 17-year-old, who has been receiving support in some conservative circles who claim he acted in self-defense when he fatally shot two protesters with an AR-15 style rifle during a chaotic night following the shooting of Jacob Blake.
The credit card company, in emails to Forbes, said the action was taken for operating regulation violations.The violation wasn't explained.(Snip) A GiveSendGo employee said the Rittenhouse fundraising effort is the largest and fastest-growing campaign in the history of the site

Have they allowed donations to BLM and Antifa and have they now blocked those?

Well, well, well.
Discover is going to discover that when you go woke, you go broke.
Pro sports is learning that lesson now.
Trust me. Contributions to Antifa, BLM, and Biden, are still welcome.
But no cash for honkies. Rittenhouse is evil and must be snuffed out. He interfered in a mostly peaceful protest.

Unless they can prove they treat others who are accused of crimes, but not convicted this way, they can be sued.
The way things are going, I have expect to see banks kick out customers who post politically incorrect views while trying to retain their money.
They all need to go down.

Lucky for Discover that I have not had one of their cards for 25 years so I can't cancel one today. I think that almost fifty percent of America's major businesses have shot themselves in the foot by falling for or being guilted into going whole hog on the Antifa/BLM pander-fest.

Who has a Discover card anyway? Too bad I don’t have one so I could cancel it...and cut it into tiny pieces...and burn it.

It isn't only the tyranny of government that we need to fear. Consider what a cashless society really means.

I just donated using my Discover Card. It seemed to accept it. Maybe I'll get an email about it being disallowed, later.

I'll bet they claim this was a "mistake" and shouldn't have happened (meaning that Discover "shouldn't" have been caught red-handed transgressing someone's rights for political purposes). Ok, if it was just a mistake, then correct it with no hard feelings...but just to make sure you don't make a mistake like this again we'll levy a small fine against Discover. Say you double the money and add $400,000.00 on top of what's there already.

I think my Discover card is in my dresser drawer, along with my BlockBuster Video Card, my AT&T phone card, my Bon Ton's card, and my Radio Shack card. It probably hasn't been used since 1986.

This is shocking!
No, not that some Politically Correct business blocks a conservative from using their business....
But that people actually use Discover cards.

What we need is an NRA/Conservative friendly credit card company to step up...I'm more than sure we would flock to their doors...

I signed into my account and talked to an agent. He said the block was because of “Vendor violation of Regulations” but he couldn’t tell me what the violation was. Yah, I said it was just Cowardly Discover jointing the “woke” Group hoping they won’t hurt them.
