The investigation seeks to determine if the crowdfunding site violated Texas’ Deceptive Trade Practices.

“GoFundMe’s response to an anti-mandate, pro-liberty movement should ring alarm bells to anyone using the donation platform and, more broadly, any American wanting to protect their constitutional rights,” Paxton said in an emailed statement. “Many Texans donated to this worthy cause.

I am acting to protect Texas consumers so that they know where their hard-earned money is going, rather than allowing GoFundMe to divert money to another cause without the consent of Texas citizens.”GoFundMe “went woke,” and froze the movement’s funds.
