A new website is poking fun at a claim by President Trump's senior adviser Kellyanne Conway about a non-existent "massacre" and using the controversy to raise money for the ACLU.
The website is called the “Bowling Green Massacre Victims Fund.”
“We all still carry the vivid memories of what horrors occurred at Bowling Green, but some still relive those moments everyday as they work to rebuild a community torn apart,” reads the website description.
The "Donate Now" button on the page redirects to the donation page for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
The website refers to a false claim Conway made while defending the president’s immigration executive order.
Conway’s initial claim, however, was apparently meant to refer to two Iraqi nationals who lived in Bowling Green, Ky., who were indicted for allegedly attempting to send weapons to Iraqi insurgents "for the purpose of killing U.S. soldiers."
The “Victims Fund” website quotes Conway’s original claim from a Thursday night interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews at the bottom of the page.
The ACLU has received tens of millions in donations since it sued over Trump’s immigration order, and has seen a swift rise in membership.
The organization filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Saturday, which led to a federal judge issuing an emergency stay on the removal of refugees and immigrants who were detained due to the ban.
