"hot take: stealing from republicans isn't bad because republicans arent ppl"
-Quran, her fake stage name.
A twitter grifter claiming to be a black Trump supporter has scammed
conservatives out of $150,000, after claiming she was disowned by her
parents for "coming out" as black Trump supporter, reports
NYmag.
Over the past few months, the conservative sections of social media
have become fixated on the #WalkAway campaign, urging Democrats and
minorities to take off their blinders and join the Republican party.
Late last month, it seemed that the Republican party had added a black college student named Quran to its ranks. -NYmag
The woman, a Howard University student named Quran, tweeted: "I will
not hide any longer,, the left has made us feel as if us black
republicans should hide!! but not anymore!! #BlacksForTrump #WalkAway
#maga" on October 27.
Quran then tweeted: "thank you all so much for your overwhelming
support. After seeing this tweet my parents cut me off and refuse to pay
my university tuition.
So if you can find it in your hearts to help this young, black republican pay for school it would be appreciated," which included a link to a now-inactive GoFundMe campaign.
She then posted - and was called out on - a fake text exchange with her "mother," after which she came clean, tweeting "
hot take: stealing from republicans isn't bad because republicans arent ppl," followed by
"Trump is a racist, homophobic, transphobic, bigot AND YOU THINK MY BLACK ASS WOULD SUPPORT THAT ROTTING CARROT??"
Quran also posted what appears to be an order for a
$1250.00 iPhone XS Max:
After tricking money out of conservatives, several liberals applauded her scam -
one of whom said she would send her money "just for doing this."
All in all, Quran was rumored to have raised
$150,000 through the GoFundMe campaign - though she told
NYmag that her take was much lower.
Unfortunately, I have to be the buzzkill and report that the
rumors of Quran’s take are highly exaggerated.
Over the phone on Saturday, Quran admitted that she didn’t raise much
of anything, and that she’d refunded what she had received. “That’s
between me and the IRS,” she said coyly when I asked how much she’d
gotten. -

"I just honestly didn’t want to take their money. Yeah, I can’t pay
for school but I don’t want Republican money to pay for it,” she told
NYmag, adding "I just want everyone to think I’m the finesse queen, which I am."
It's also possible of course that she lied to
NYmag's Brian
Feldman. Perhaps sensing prison time in her future, she said on Tuesday
that she will return the money, tweeting "returning 150k... do y'all
think I'm stupid??"
According to Feldman, Quran says her only regret is that "she wishes a better photo of her had gone viral."
FROM THE INTERNET
What is the story here?
That she planned to trick republicans out of money, then return it, in order to prove she is the "finesse queen"?
And this shows how bad republicans are? That they gave her money for college based on her fake "orphan" status?
Wow. Despicable. She proclaims her ANTIFA STATUS.

I'm sorry, but anyone who didn't notice (or care) that this ugly HO is
attending one of the most rabidly racist universities in the country
DESERVES to lose their money. The KKK's got nothin' on Howard
University grads when it comes to virulent racism. I had to deal with
their entitled asses in the military, from time to time, and every one
of them was insufferable ... on top of being incompetent.

Me: "Yeah, so?"
This chick: "So like I said, I'm a black REPUBLICAN!"
Me: "I'm not blind. I can clearly see that you are a human being just like me."
This chick: "But I'm black and you're a racist."
Me: Huh?
