He wants us to believe that he bought something from the Trump website and didn't know that would be contributing to the Trump campaign???? How the hell did he get his job if he's that ignorant?“Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade donated roughly $600 to President Trump’s campaign in what he says was an unwitting mistake made while Christmas shopping after the 2016 election.
Kilmeade told The Hill in an interview on Tuesday that he purchased several Christmas ornaments modeled after President Trump's "Make America Great Again" hats for friends and family members in November 2016, a couple weeks after Trump won the presidency.
"I had no idea that this would be considered a donation," Kilmeade said. "I'm looking for something cool and unique for Christmas for adults after this historic election.
"[The ornaments were] a little expensive in retrospect, but that was it," he added. "I had no idea that would go to a campaign contribution."
Kilmeade said he purchased the items through the Trump campaign website.
The Hill
Not sure why there's a problem with him making a contribution. After all, he makes a contribution every time he's on TV.When buying souvenirs on the site, users are given the option to make an additional donation, and are notified upon checkout they must enter their occupation as required by federal law for political contributions.
[...]
Under its "Shipping & Returns" section, the Trump campaign website makes clear that transactions on the page "are contributions to Trump Make America Great Again Committee" and therefore cannot be refunded.

"There's no secret, there's no 'ah ha' moment," he continued. "There's, 'I bought ornaments two years ago before Christmas for people that like Donald Trump.'"
"Even if I wasn't in this business, I would never be giving contributions out to people. Especially after an election," Kilmeade said.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
