Patrick Bet-David, through his platform Valuetainment, has offered $250,000 to the family of Laken Riley, who was brutally murdered by an illegal alien, on the condition that Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro participate in a debate on his show. This move has sparked controversy and criticism from various individuals, including Ashley St Clair who committed to donating her next two X payments to Riley's family without conditions, arguing that Bet-David's offer exploits the tragedy for personal gain and publicity. Critics suggest that if Bet-David genuinely wanted to help, he would donate the $250,000 without attaching conditions. The debate around this offer has also highlighted the disparity in public support for victims, referencing the GoFundMe for George Floyd's family, which raised $15 million.
Difference is, @stclairashley is straight up committing to give her next two X payments to Laken Riley's family, whereas @patrickbetdavid did it manipulatively to try getting Ben to debate Candace on his show and to get a bunch of clout and attention. It's kind of sad that you… https://t.co/ps5eKFkyTY
Self-proclaimed conservative influencer Ashley St Clair attacked successful podcaster Patrick Bet-David for offering a $250K donation to Laken Riley's family if Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens would debate on his show. Then St Clair offered an exponentially less donation. https://t.co/Vc0rf9Q01p
George Floyd’s GoFundMe raised $15 million for his family, who didn’t even care enough to claim his possessions after he died from an overdose. Meanwhile, Laken Riley’s page is only at $250k, notwithstanding @patrickbetdavid makings amends…. The link is below: https://t.co/TPCveeXsEb
This is gross @patrickbetdavid. If you have the $250,000 just donate it to the family of Laken Riley instead of using it as a condition of the debate. Do you think their misery and pain from losing their daughter to an illegal alien invader is to be exploited by your desire for… https://t.co/hSLxhXBUVX
Laken Riley was beaten so badly by an illegal alien that her skull was left disfigured after her body was discarded like trash in the woods. Patrick is using her brutal murder to generate attention for himself by dangling money in front of Riley’s family that he’ll only give if… https://t.co/NAgkPle9n9
If you really wanted to help Laken Riley's family and give them $250k, then you'd just give it to them. Otherwise you're just another rich grifting POS. https://t.co/RRceSJk5L9
So PBD and Valuetainment have offered 250k to the family of Laken Riley contingent upon Candace and Shapiro sitting down to debate on their show. Are you freaking kidding me? What is wrong with people. https://t.co/5hD6gqoXUX
