The fundraising page doesnt mention Kolfages most recent business venture, a Facebook page titled Right Wing News and a ring of affiliate sites that frequently trafficked in conspiracy theories. In October, Right Wing News was pulled down by Facebook in a sweep of more than 559 pages that the company said were using fake accounts to drive traffic to their websites or were ad farms using Facebook to mislead people into thinking that they were forums for legitimate political debate.

Days after the pulldown, Kolfage created a group called Fight4FreeSpeech, which accepts donations, and is also not referenced in the GoFundMe.

Kolfage also ran Right Wing News shuttered affiliate sites including VeteranAF and FreedomDaily, which pushed false conspiracy theories, like ones claiming Hillary Clinton was secretly hiding deadly illnesses and fake voter fraud stories days before the 2016 election.

Those sites stopped operating in March, replaced with a string of text that said This Website Has Gone Out of Business.

The shuttering of Kolfages sites came a month after Michigan man Joel Vangheluwe sued FreedomDaily and other right wing sites for misidentifying him as the driver of the car that plowed into a group of peaceful protestors at a 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The FreedomDaily article relied on the image board 4chan as its major source, according to a letter provided to the court by the contributor named in the suit. Kolfage was not listed as a defendant.

The sites often trafficked in false, inflammatory and racist content, including headlines like Obnoxious Black People Lose Their Minds When Victoria Secret Models Say This 1 Word On Live Video and Trump Just Released Embarrassing Vids Of Obamas Muslim Friends That He Never Wanted Seen.
