An online fundraiser for a leftist Canadian woman charged with slapping a teenager who was wearing pro-Trump at the Jersey Shore has been yanked for violating policies about supporting those accused of a \u201cviolent crime.\u201d<\/p>\n

GoFundMe yanked the campaign in support of Kaitlyn Tracey, 33, a Canadian national taken into custody by ICE after the alleged July 3 incident, her Trump-hating husband, Matthew Geroni, 42, groused in an interview with NJ.com.<\/p>\n

Screenshots suggest it had collected nearly $4,500, roughly half the $9,000 being sought.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsistent with this long-standing policy, any fundraisers for the legal defense of someone charged with a violent crime are removed from the platform and fully refunded,\u201d a GoFundMe spokesperson told the outlet after the page was taken offline.<\/p>\n

A similar fundraiser has since launched on GiveSendGo, looking to raise $10,000 for Tracey\u2019s \u201clegal defense,\u201d with $2,200 donated as of press time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re raising funds to help Kate secure experienced legal representation throughout her immigration case. Every dollar donated through this fundraiser will be paid directly to her legal team to cover attorney fees and related legal expenses,\u201d the fundraiser\u2019s description reads.<\/p>\n

It goes on to blame a \u201ccoordinated mass-reporting campaign\u201d for the original fundraiser being taken down.<\/p>\n
