Convict Previously Freed By Kamala Harris Promoted Bail Fund Has Been Charged With Murder

A convict who was previously freed by a bail fund that had been promoted by Kamala Harris has been charged with murder.

In a June 2020 tweet that remains active, Harris urged, “If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota.”

The fund continues to be an active part of freeing accused criminals in the state, and in one case, a convict with a lengthy history.

That convict, Shawn Tillman, has now been accused of murder, just three weeks after being bailed out by the fund.

In a statement made after Tillman was charged with murder, the fund defended helping him previously post bail.

“It is neither just nor effective to respond to violence by denying bail and pre-emptively punishing people who are disproportionately poor, Black, brown, and Indigenous,” the fund insisted.

Fox News Digital requested comment from Harris’ office but has yet to get a response.

The Republican nominee for Attorney General in Minnesota, Jim Schultz, recently weighed in on the situation by calling for Democrat AG Keith Ellison to denounce the fund and referenced Harris’ prior support.

In a tweet, Schultz explained, “The @MNFreedomFund enables violent criminals by releasing them into communities.”

“@keithellison must denounce The Minnesota Freedom Fund. Unless of course he sides with @KamalaHarris over Minnesotans,” Schultz demanded.
