WASHINGTON (AP) — Former undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson is looking to crowdfund enough money to buy Twitter so President Donald Trump can’t use it.

Wilson launched the fundraiser last week, tweeting: “If @Twitter executives won’t shut down Trump’s violence and hate, then it’s up to us. #BuyTwitter #BanTrump.” The GoFundMe page for the fundraiser says Trump’s tweets “damage the country and put people in harm’s way.”

As of Wednesday morning, she had raised less than $6,000 of her $1 billion goal.

In an emailed statement, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the low total shows that the American people like the Republican president’s use of Twitter.

“Her ridiculous attempt to shut down his first amendment is the only clear violation and expression of hate and intolerance in this equation,” the statement read.

Wilson wrote on the fundraiser’s GoFundMe page that she hopes to raise enough money to buy a controlling interest of Twitter stock. If she doesn’t have enough to purchase a majority of shares, she said, she will explore options to buy “a significant stake” and champion the proposal at Twitter’s annual shareholder meeting.

If Plame were to hit her $1 billion goal, she’d still fall far short of gaining a controlling interest in the company. As of Wednesday, a majority stake would cost roughly $6 billion. But a $1 billion stake would make her Twitter’s largest shareholder and give her a very strong position to exert influence on the company.

Twitter declined to comment Wednesday on Wilson’s tweet about seeking to buy the San Francisco-based company.

Wilson’s identity as a CIA operative was leaked by an official in President George W. Bush’s administration in 2003 in an effort to discredit her husband, Joe Wilson, a former diplomat who criticized Bush’s decision to invade Iraq. She left the agency in 2005.

If anyone, and I mean anyone, does not understand the swiftness and the means such people will use to silence anyone who opposes them, get a clue. They're lying on the ground like grains of sand on the beach.

Put out the red light Valerie - try fundraising the old-fashioned way!

If nothing else (and there is plenty of "else"), we can thank the Trump Presidency for drawing these idiots out and getting them to show their true colors. I hope they keep pushing until they walk themselves right over the cliff.

Is this woman an imbecile?

I thought we disposed of the whole idea that liberals were tolerant years ago.

We've also disposed of the idea that our national intelligence agencies are apolitical organizations

It is obviously just an attention grab and a silly attempt to make her silly point.

She could never do it. Too much money.

Need you ask?

The dims don't want to kick the President off Twitter. They twist his wo do, act outraged and the media plays it up for them.
Without Twitter, they'd turn on themselves.

Something tells me she'll raise more money with the GoFundMe site....even though it might not go over 6,000.

And what do we think will happen to the money she does raise? My guess is this whole thing was a sham so that she could raise some quick cash.

Bless her fascist heart.

Lefties like to silence any one with an opposing voice.

Just like the money raised to rebuild Haiti.

And all the money Jill Stein raised for the recounts.

She probably has enough to buy a small JetSki, or at least put a sizable down payment on one.

Hey, I'd give her a hearty thumbs up, if this was her plan. That has to be it, right?

If a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass when he jumped.

I don't know what's more disturbing...

A. She is an idiot
B. We let idiots like her into the CIA
C. We let idiots like her into the CIA that don't understand the 1st amendment

If only this would happen.

THe left could raise and spend billions to buy Twitter, boot Trump off...then some enterprising young entrepreneur invents Tweeter or Twatter or Twyttyr and Trump announces his feed has moved to this phenomenal - it's really great, jsut the best - site. ANd suddenly its traffic eclipses Twitter.

And the leftists have wasted a few billion dollars buying a company that has no discernible path to profitability.
