SEATTLE, WASHINGTON: MacKenzie Scott, the billionaire philanthropist and former wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has ignited a firestorm of controversy with the revelation that the majority of her latest $640 million charitable donations will be directed towards organizations advocating for progressive causes, as per New York Post.

From migrant rights groups to LGBTQ advocacy and clean energy initiatives, Scott's funding choices have drawn scathing criticism from conservative circles, who accuse her of using her vast fortune to undermine capitalism and American values.

The Internet has been set ablaze with outrage, as social media users express dismay over Scott's perceived promotion of left-wing agendas, reigniting the age-old debate over the role of philanthropy in shaping societal norms.

67 organizations advocating for migrants are slated to collectively receive $122 million for various forms of aid, including legal assistance.

Noteworthy beneficiaries encompass the Florida Immigrant Coalition, known for its opposition to Governor Ron DeSantis' measures targeting undocumented immigrants with criminal records, and the Tennessee Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition, actively contesting the state's endeavors to heighten enforcement against illegal immigrants. Each of these groups is set to be granted $2 million.

Furthermore, a combined $117 million will be distributed among 67 groups advocating for prisoners and supporting individuals who are currently incarcerated or have been released from prison.

Additionally, $72 million has been allocated to 43 organizations advocating for various LGBTQ issues, including those supporting transgender athletes' participation in women's sports. Moreover, $18 million is designated for distribution among 10 organizations dedicated to clean energy initiatives.

MacKenzie Scott's donations spark outrage among conservative circles

The news of Scott's donations has sparked outrage among conservative circles, with Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, drawing parallels to Vladimir Lenin's famous quote about capitalists selling the rope to hang themselves.

According to Gonzalez, Scott's utilization of Bezos' funds demonstrates a trend where progressive philanthropic organizations, born out of capitalist success, employ their resources to challenge the fundamentals of the free market.

"These things that she's donating money to – whether it's transgender ideas, helping illegals, prisoner rights, climate change – they're all trying to transform our system away from capitalism," Gonzalez stated.
