How ActBlue Kept Surfacing in Post-Assassination Commentary

Showing 4 ActBlue videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

ActBlue, the fundraising platform used by most Democratic campaigns and left-leaning political organizations, surfaced repeatedly in commentary examining the funding behind groups connected to protests and activism following Charlie Kirk's assassination. One independent investigator traced a specific chain: an organizer named Z Cohen Sanchez founded a group called National Ground Game that had received substantial ActBlue funding, and that same group funded a separate project called the Unfuck America Tour, which the investigator noted overlapped in timing and personnel with figures later scrutinized in connection with Kirk's shooting, while explicitly stating there was no evidence of direct foreknowledge involved. Kirk himself raised ActBlue in a different context, pointing to the platform as the funding source behind several of the nonprofit groups organizing the No Kings protests, treating that financial trail as evidence the demonstrations were more centrally coordinated than they appeared. Michael Knowles cited ActBlue for a different purpose entirely, noting that the man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump in 2024 had a political donation history that included giving to ActBlue, using that detail to push back on media framing that treated political violence as evenly distributed across the political spectrum. Investigative journalist James O'Keefe listed ActBlue among the institutions his own reporting had previously targeted, alongside Pfizer, BlackRock, and federal agencies, describing it as one of several major, resource-rich organizations he pursued despite the professional risk of doing so.
