Back in April, Lt. William Kelly was reportedly fired from the Norfolk Police Department in Virginia after he donated $25 to Kyle Rittenhouse’s legal defense fund in August 2020. Owens received news of his termination and decided to have a fundraiser to help Kelly. Although the check was worth $202,000, donations have continued to increase up to almost $250,000.
“I am so grateful for our police officers. I can’t even imagine especially in today’s political climate knowing that you’re fighting for justice and you have an entire ecosystem of horrible people that are constantly fighting against you, fighting to defund you, telling you you’re not allowed to exist unless you side with narratives that are actually lies. So this just makes me so happy.”
On her show, Candace, Owens revealed she wanted to raise $100,000 but the donations increased to $240,000. Kelly is married with three children and his wife is battling cancer as reported by FOX News.
