I was shocked to learn that Discover Card is considering not allowing their cardholders to donate to Rittenhouse's defense fund. I just sent this:

Gentlemen and Ladies:

I have been advised that you are considering disallowing the use of Discover Card payments to the Kyle Rittenhouse defense fund at GiveSendGo.com.

Mr. Rittenhouse is a young man with a clean criminal record who has been accused — not convicted — of a criminal offense. Every criminal defendant has a constitutional right to due process and a fair trial. He has the same right to a defense — and therefore a defense fund — as any despicable habitual felon, none of whom you have singled out to be cut off in the same manner.

My wife and I have been Discover cardmembers since almost your founding: 1988, over 30 years. Together, we do roughly $70,000 worth of business annually through your card.

If you proceed to single out Kyle Rittenhouse as I have heard you are preparing to do, that all stops now.

I cannot overemphasize how strongly I feel about this travesty, and about your ill-considered participation in leftist cancel culture against conservatives.

I have frozen both our accounts in anticipation of hearing back from you.

Think hard and often before taking this step.
