The group’s ability to post such a hefty bail in a short amount of time was due to its support from prominent Democratic organizations.

It has been revealed that the Louisville Community Bail Fund, who bailed out a Black Lives Matter activist on Wednesday that was accused of attempting to murder a Jewish mayoral candidate earlier this week, is backed by ActBlue, a Democratic fundraising group associated with the "Squad," as well as a nonprofit funded by George Soros.

On Wednesday, the group, and affiliate of Louisville’s BLM Chapter, posted Quintez Brown’s $100,000 bail following his arrest on Monday.

Brown was charged with attempted murder and four counts of wanton endangerment.

The group’s ability to post such a hefty bail in a short amount of time was due to its support from prominent Democratic organizations.

The Louisville Community Bail Fund has a donation page set up in association with other bail fund groups on ActBlue’s website. ActBlue is a fundraising platform used by Democratic candidates across the country.

Justice Democrats also fundraises for the group and other bail projects on their website. The organization is reportedly a far-left PAC that supports Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar.

"Contributions sent to the Louisville Community Bail Fund through ActBlue are routed through the Tides Center, a liberal dark money behemoth that has received millions of dollars from Soros. Tides gave nearly $740,000 to the bail fund in 2020, tax filings show," the Washington Free Beacon wrote.

In 2020, the Democratic National Convention used ActBlue to raise nearly $500 million, undercutting the party’s denials of being soft on crime, and coming the same year as when Vice President Kamala Harris used the fundraising platform to promote a bail fund that freed an alleged domestic abuser, that was arrested again weeks later for murder.

On Monday, Brown allegedly entered Greenberg's campaign office and began shooting. Luckily no one was injured, but Greenberg said that one bullet grazed his clothing.

Around two days later, his $100,000 bail was posted by the fund, which was cofounded by Black Lives Matter Louisville organizer Chanelle Helm.

According to the Free Beacon, the bail fund reportedly bailed out "accused rapists and murderers, including one woman who allegedly beat her boyfriend to death before hiding his remains and another who police said shot a man in the back of the head as he walked away from an argument."

Helm herself has made calls for violence. During a 2019 protest outside of Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell's home in Louisville, Kentucky.

Helm reportedly said "should have broken his little raggedy, wrinkled-ass neck." McConnell at the time was recovering from a shoulder injury.

Helm also reportedly told another protester to "just stab the motherfucker in the heart" after the man referenced a McConnell voodoo doll he had.

According to the Free Beacon, "She refused to apologize for her comments after the protest, telling the Courier Journal that McConnell 'doesn't care about people who actually do break their necks.'"

"The double standard is incredible when it comes to platform access," a veteran Republican strategist told the Washington Free Beacon. "Kyle Rittenhouse couldn't raise money on GoFundMe for his legal defense, but BLM can bail out someone accused of attempted assassination. Anybody who doesn't denounce that is a hypocrite."

According to the Free Beacon, both Helm and Brown have ties to Kentucky Democratic Party officials.

In 2019, Brown spoke at the campaign launch rally for Kentucky Democratic Senate candidate Charles Booker. Booker is running to unseat Rand Paul in 2022.

Helm was reportedly on the Kentucky State Democratic Central in 2019, the same time as the McConnell protest comments.

In a Thursday statement, Greenberg said the decision from the bail fund to release Brown "traumatized" him and his family.

"It is nearly impossible to believe that someone can attempt murder on Monday and walk out of jail on Wednesday,"
