three separate donations recorded by the Federal Election Commission: $210.60 to WinRed, $340.60 to the Trump National Committee JFC, and $486.54 to Never Surrender Inc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cI am not MAGA and do not support any of the many policies that are causing great harm to the American people. I made a mistake too many make: I did not read the fine print,\u201d she wrote in the caption of her video statement response.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cI thought I was supporting causes against human trafficking and for veterans. Two things I care deeply about, as my dad is a veteran, and everyone knows I love children. I have learned a valuable lesson and ask for grace as I navigate this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\nThomas asserted proof of her allegiance to Democrats by noting that she donated to both of Barack Obama\u2019s presidential campaigns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe TLC member also deleted the video, questioning if Michelle Obama was really a woman from her page, saying in the video update that it had been shared accidentally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cLet me say this first: I have the utmost respect and admiration for Michelle Obama, and I would never say or do anything that is disrespectful to her or to any woman,\u201d Thomas said in her video. \u201cI would never do that. I had no clue that this repost had happened until I started getting phone calls and text messages from everybody, and I immediately went to my page to see what was going on.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nShe continued, \u201cI\u2019m not very computer-savvy, so I\u2019m looking for this repost button, and I see that all of these buttons are very, very close to each other, and clearly I was scrolling and my thumb hit the repost button. Again, I had no clue that something like this happened until I got all the calls.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cI would never do anything that\u2019s harmful or hateful to anybody,\u201d Thomas said. \u201cI\u2019m not wired like that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nA rep for Thomas confirmed that 17 political donations in all were made as recurring payments.<\/span><\/p>\nThe rep reiterated Thomas\u2019 statement, saying, \u201cIt is unfortunate that her intentions are being misinterpreted. Chilli has been clear in her personal statement. She does not align with MAGA ideology, nor does she support any policies rooted in harm or division. Her life and career have reflected the opposite \u2014 a commitment to uplifting women, leading with empathy, and using her voice for positive impact.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
