On Friday, Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross carried on with his planned fundraiser event for President Trump at his residence in the Hamptons, despite intense backlash he faced over his efforts.
According to Fox News, after news of the fundraiser emerged, anti-Trump activists, including several celebrities, called for boycotts against two fitness brands in which Ross is an investor.
MSNBC contributor, Elie Mystal, even went as far as to call for “pitchforks and torches” outside the home of Ross for holding such an event.
In the end, however, it was another big win for the Trump campaign, as they shattered the initial projection of $10 million was expected to be raised, according to GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.
After the event, McDaniel took to Twitter and revealed that President Trump walked away with $12 million in campaign donations, $2 million higher than projected.
“Thanks to the unhinged mob on the left, President Trump raised $12M today, $2M more than originally expected,” McDaniel said. The support for our President is unprecedented and growing!” See Below
