GoFundMe for Martha's Vineyard migrants sent the cash to a non-profit
Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Friday pointed out that the $43,000 donated to a GoFundMe for the Venezuelan migrants on Martha's Vineyard was being given to a local group.
- The arrival of 50 Venezuelan migrants on the exclusive holiday island of Martha's Vineyard was met with an outpouring of concern by local people
- A GoFundMe entitled 'Urgent plea to help Martha's Vineyard migrants' was set up by a New York PR executive, Sarah Goulet
- The fundraiser generated $43,000 - but the money was given not to the migrants but to a local non-profit with a $16 million fund
- The money was given to 'the MV Community Foundation, to distribute to the organizations with the most need,' the GoFundMe stated
- Tucker Carlson mocked the islanders living in a community which was 'just not rich enough' to house the Venezuelans
