Low-profile heiress who 'played a strong role' in financing Jan. 6 rally is thrust into spotlight

Low-profile heiress who 'played a strong role' in financing Jan. 6 rally is thrust into spotlight

Source: Washington Post 

Eight days before the Jan. 6 rally in Washington, a little-known Trump donor living thousands of miles away in the Tuscan countryside quietly wired a total of $650,000 to three organizations that helped stage and promote the event. 

The lack of fanfare was typical of Julie Fancelli, the 72-year-old daughter of the founder of the Publix grocery store chain. Even as she has given millions to charity through a family foundation, Fancelli has lived a private life, splitting time between her homes in Florida and Italy, and doting on her grandchildren, according to family members and friends. 

Now, Fancelli is facing public scrutiny as the House committee investigating the insurrection seeks to expose the financing for the rally that preceded the riot at the U.S. Capitol. Fancelli is the largest publicly known donor to the rally, support that some concerned relatives and others attributed to her enthusiasm for conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. 


Fancelli was a regular listener to Jones’s show and had an assistant make contact with him at his office in Austin to find out how she could support Trump’s attempt to undermine Biden’s victory, the person said. She and Jones talked by phone at least once between Dec. 27 and Jan. 1, the person said.

What do you think would happen if they spent even 1/100th of the time investigating who burnt down federal buildings and state buildings and privet property worth millions and millions in the mostly peaceful Minneapolis and st Paul protests ?

There really can’t be a more fitting place for every disenfranchised, sad and bitter loser in America than that place.
