A CBS News affiliate came under fire after it claimed former President
Trump had "falsely" accused Vice President Kamala Harris of helping raise
money for a bail fund that helped violent criminals get out of jail.

"Trump falsely accuses Harris of donating to the Minnesota Freedom Fund,
bailing out �dangerous criminals,'" CBS Minnesota affiliate WCCO posted on
X on Thursday in a post that racked up nearly 7 million views in less than
24 hours.

The media outlet was referring to Trump's comments at a North Carolina
rally this week when he accused the presumed Democratic nominee of being
soft on crime by "helping raise" millions of dollars to free violent
criminals through her support of the bail fund.

During the 2020 campaign, Harris called on her then-Twitter followers to
donate to the fund to help bail out those arrested during the George Floyd
riots. "If you�re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post
bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota," she wrote on the
social media platform in June of that year.

HARRIS' BACKING OF BAIL FUND DURING GEORGE FLOYD PROTESTS DAMPENS TRUMP
�PROSECUTOR� CAMPAIGN PITCH

However, the bail fund has come under fire for helping put rapists and
murderers back on the streets. Minneapolis-based FOX 9 reported that the
fund spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to free an alleged knife
murderer and a twice convicted rapist who was facing charges of sexual
assault and kidnapping, among others.

Another criminal, George Howard, 48, also reaped the benefits of the
funds. He allegedly became involved in a road rage altercation on an
Interstate 94 entrance ramp before he shot another driver, according to
Minneapolis police � weeks after bailing out on domestic assault charges.

Critics accused the CBS affiliate of lying and slapped the social media
post with a Community Note.

"The accusation is not false. Kamala has promoted MFF in the past and her
X post supporting it is still active (for now)," the note reads with a
link to Harris's tweet which has an active donation link.
