He also said in this video that he was pretty inspired by how much money they were able to raise in such a short amount of time. And he was basically insinuating, like, what if we harness this and raise money? For other cause. Like, it was kind of like, know we mobilized so well on behalf of Alex Preddy. Why don't we keep doing this? Why don't we like, keep up this momentum? And it seems pretty on track with the fact that that other Democrat super PAC wasted no time to fundraise off of Alex Preddy's death. And this guy Keith Edwards doesn't really have the best track record. This is from the Washington Free Beacon. And according to them, Keith Edwards was a high ranking Lincoln Project employee. He was also serving at the exact same time as a staffer on Senator John Ossoff's campaign. And he received payments from both groups at the same time. And the Free Beacon is claiming that this is a potential violation of laws that prohibit working on a campaign and a super pac, this coordination between the two groups. And, you know, Keith Edwards said that he left the Lincoln Project to go work for John Ossoff's campaign. But then the Free Beacon was able to figure out that records show that Keith Edwards actually received at least $20,000 from the Lincoln Project while he was employed by the campaign. Maybe this was just back pay, but I mean, getting paid $20,000. I mean, they're making a ton of money. And I'm not insinuating that Keith Edwards is guilty of any wrongdoing with this GoFundMe. I have no evidence of that. But his ethics might be questionable. And, you know, why was he the one that started the GoFundMe for Alex Preddy? It just seems odd to me. That's like Me Starting a GoFundMe for Irena Zarutska's family, the woman who was killed on the light rail in Charlotte. Like, I don't really have any connection to it other than, you know, I'm disturbed by it. And this is horrible, right? And it just seems like this guy that has connections to the Lincoln Project and other super PACs and other, you know, Democrat campaigns, it seems odd that he's the one kind of mobilizing this fundraising effort on behalf of the family. And I wonder, you know, is all of this money going to go to the Predi family? Go fund me claims to, you know, alert for fraud and make sure that they check that the recipients of the money are all fact checked. But I don't know if, if Keith Edwards is the recipient or he says, you know, I'm fundraising on behalf of Mike Preddy, does that mean that GoFundMe makes sure that the funds get to Keith or that the funds get to Mike Preddy? I don't know. I'm sure they try to get it to the correct person, but I've become pretty wary of these crowdfunding websites as of late. And it just seems like people are so quick to fundraise off of horrific tragedies in this country. And we've seen, you know, GoFundMe is being raised for not so great people. And I'm not saying that necessarily in terms of Alex Preddy. I don't think that he's a bad person. I think he made some bad decisions. Same with Renee Good. But you know that teenager in North Carolina that stabbed the, his colleague, his classmate? You know, people rallied around this teenager who murdered someone, and they, they gave him a GoFundMe and the, the family made all this money off of it. Like, why are we doing. Like, this is horrible. Our society is just horrible. And I don't know, I'm just, I'm a little wary of the gofundmes and where all this money is coming from and who's raising it. And now some more information is coming out about Alex Preddy. He seemed to have taken up protesting recently since Renee Good was shot. And he even talked to his parents about it and they told him to be safe and he said that he would be, and he wasn't. He lied when he said that. But it turns out that according to CNN's sources, so we're taking this with a grain of salt, but CNN sources say that Alex Preddy broke a rib a week before he was shot by ice, and he broke a rib because he was out protesting and he saw a family being detained by ice and he thought that he would step in, which seems like something that he would do. And he stepped in and he was basically tackled to the ground by ICE agents because he was obstructing their, their efforts. And, you know, Alex Preddy got out of his car to go do that. And, you know, in being thrown to the ground, I guess he broke a rib. That's what CNN sources are saying. This guy was a nurse. So you're telling me that an ICU nurse broke his rib a week ago and he thinks that tussling with ICE agents on the ground is, is smart. That's the way that he thinks he should heal. And you know, I, I posted this that I was wary of this also on X. And people were saying, well, well, I broke a rib and I was fine. And, well, I broke a rib. And you'd be surprised. You can do all these things. Listen, I don't know how broken the Rib was, I don't know if it was bruised. I don't know if like, who knows what his physical capabilities are. But you would think that if you are in the medical field, you know what's best for a broken rib and there's not much that you can do. But certainly you would want to rest, certainly you would want to not be involved in this physical activity. But he's out there in the streets, you know, confronting ICE agents certainly didn't seem like he was concerned about this alleged broken ribbon. And all you can really do right is rest and take painkillers. So CNN said that he was on, they didn't say what medication, but he was on medication that was consistent with, you know, a broken rib. So I don't know if that has any effect on his behavior or whatever. It's just, it's odd. Like it doesn't seem like that is something that a nurse would do and it doesn't seem like, you know, that's something that a nurse would tell his patient. Like if you are Alex Preddy's patient and you have a broken rib, is Alex Preddy telling you to go jump around and you know, tussle with ICE agents in the street? I don't know. Something tells me that he wouldn't give that advice. So I don't know. It was also odd because in the video you can see Alex Preddy getting involved in this ICE effort. He was confronting ICE agents. He was also trying to like help this woman up off of the ground. And in the video it almost looks like, and I talked about this yesterday, again, the video is very unclear what's going on, but Alex Preddy seems to be like picking this woman up and kind of like dragging her around. I couldn't imagine doing that with a broken rib. Listen, I've never broken a rib, but that seems like really odd behavior. All of this is very odd to me. Again, this is all according to cnn. So something is fishy to me. Like my alarm bells are going off. I'm going to hold and wait until we see if maybe there's some kind of medical document that can prove that he broke his rib or if he was treated for. Seems odd. Also odd is how MSNBC chose to portray Alex Preddy in their coverage. They, they, there's this photo of, you know, I wouldn't say he's the most handsome man, but they decided, MSNBC decided to go with a different looking version of Alex Preddy in their coverage. Watch this. This time it was 37 year old Alex Preddy. An ICU nurse who cared for veterans. Donald Trump in his cabinet, his administration are demanding once again that you not believe your eyes and ears. Okay? Do not believe your eyes and ears. And it's interesting because we can put the side by side back up there. She Nicole Wallace's don't believe your eyes and ears. Don't believe the Trump administration, but believe us. After we give Alex Preddy a spray tan, a nose job, we shaved down his chin, whitened his teeth, straightened his teeth, made more of his smile visible. I don't know if you can scroll down a little bit. It seems like they made him look a little more buff, like in the edit. You might have to take me off the screen to show his kind of puny, scrawny arms in the original photo, but his arm looks a little thicker in the edit. I think they filled in his eyebrows, they filled in his beard a little bit. My question is, why stop there? Why wouldn't you give him a full head of hair? Why not? You already tanned him. You already made it. Why not? You gave him a nose job. And what else? Why not? Why not give him a full head of hair? Or would that have been too noticeable? As if all these other changes aren't. But you know what they should have done? They should have come out with an ad campaign called Alex Preddy had bad genes a la the Sydney Sweeney has great jeans ad. And that's. That's the msnbc. Msnbc. You know, they've rebranded to Ms. Now. And I think that maybe if they start selling jeans, they can. They can go with that ad campaign. But what is the purpose of looks maxing Alex Preddy? Does it make people more sympathetic if, you know, ice killed a hot guy? Would leftists really care about that who are mostly ugly, fat slobs? Do they really care about how hot Alex Preddy was? Do they care that he looks more tan in the photo and he has straight white teeth? Would they care if Alex Preddy fit all of these unrealistic beauty standards that they claim to hate so much? I think not. And it's unclear if Ms. Now edited the video. I'm sorry, the photo themselves to input into their coverage, or if they found that edited photo online and used it? Both are unacceptable and inexcusable. And if it's the latter, I mean, you have to check to make sure that the photos you're using are actually from the original source. And that original photo is from the Department of Veteran Affairs. He was a nurse for the va, so you could easily go and Check and make sure that you're using the right photo. But MSNBC or Ms. NOW did not do that. And if Mississippi now were the ones behind the looks maxing, I would like to know what work they, they think that I should have done. I feel like I could definitely use a tan right now. But I mean, they gave this guy some workup. I mean, they gave him a full makeover, almost unrecognizable. I mean, I would like to see what they do with a photo of me. It just seems like they, you know, if they were the ones behind that looks maxing photo, I, I'd be interested to see what, what their improvements would be.
