Women’s March, the radical feminist organization that sprouted in the wake of Donald Trump’s election to the presidency, reached peak woke on Wednesday when they apologized for reporting an average donation of $14.92 – the year Christopher Columbus founded the Americas.
“We apologize deeply for the email that was sent today. $14.92 was our average donation amount this week,” the organization tweeted on Tuesday.
“It was an oversight on our part to not make the connection to a year of colonization, conquest, and genocide for Indigenous people, especially before Thanksgiving.”

A screenshot of the email was shared by Daybreak PAC founder Jackie Fielder.
All the right wing trolls in my menshies: I just thought it was funny, you guys are corny

Okay for real who thought a “14.92” pledge was a good number to suggest from a group that has already been called tone deaf when it comes to racial issues. Are we commemorating conquest of stolen land?

Women’s March provided no other specifics as to what sparked the apology. Nonetheless, right-wing Twitter had a field day mocking the organization.
This is the challenge for The Babylon Bee with all the woke stuff; it's like trying to satirize a comedy. https://t.co/EgzsZLyxIJ

Get back in the kitchen, the real world is clearly too much for you.

The Women's March is not a serious organization.
If you can't see the amount of $14.92 without being triggered, seek help. https://t.co/6rxpOdbI1G

The real question is, if the average donation was $14.92, does that make all supporters of the women’s march white supremacist colonizers?! https://t.co/WOq2q98iGE

You tweeted this apology at 2:33 PM. Did you make the connection to the various conquests that occurred in the year 233? Didn’t think so. Delete and try again.

They don’t want your $$ (because they hate America SOOOO much), but please feel free to contribute $14.92 to our campaign!
Or $17.76
Or $20.24https://t.co/JLJLg0HQ9V
