*In a series of Tweets on Sunday, Chrissy Teigen announced that she is donating $200,000 to help bail out protestors over the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man who was murdered on Memorial Day by a former white police officer who pinned him to the ground with a knee on his neck in Minneapolis.
Teigen’s generosity was in response to President Trump declaring Saturday night would be “MAGA [Make America Great Again] Night” at the White House in a Twitter rant calling D.C. protesters “vicious dogs.”
“In celebration of whatever the f— maga night is, I am committed to donating $100,000 to the bail outs of protestors across the country,” Teigen wrote.
According to PEOPLE, when a user criticized her support of the protesters, calling them “Rioters and criminals,” Teigen fired back with: “Ooo they might need more money then. Make it $200,000,” she replied.
