Entertainer Justin Timberlake asked his fans to donate money to help bail out those arrested in riots and protests, but Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) fired back with a suggestion on how the funds could be better used.
"Please join me in supporting the Minneapolis protesters by donating to the @mnfreedomfund," Timberlake tweeted out on Sunday. "The freedom fund is combatting (sic) the harms of incarceration by paying bail for low income individuals who cannot otherwise afford."
Justin, how about giving your millions to a fund to help the African-American and Hispanic small businesses that are being burned & looted, rather than a fund to bail out the spoiled (often white) ANTIFA terrorists who are destroying minority communities? https://t.co/klWyoy4fwn

Cruz fired back early Monday morning. "Justin, how about giving your millions to a fund to help the African-American and Hispanic small businesses that are being burned & looted rather than a fund to bail out the spoiled (often white) ANTIFA terrorists who are destroying minority communities?"
