The teen who cracked an egg over an Australian politician who expressed anti-Muslim comments after the March New Zealand mosque shooting raised nearly $100,000 for victims of the attack.
Will Connolly, known as “egg boy” by his online supporters, announced $99,922.36 had been donated to the Christchurch Foundation and Victims Support in a Tuesday night Instagram post.{mosads}
Two GoFundMe pages were set up to help cover Connolly’s legal fees after assaulting Queensland Sen. Fraser Anning with the egg. Gordon Legal worked the case pro bono, allowing Connolly to donate the funds, he said.
Connolly’s decision to egg Anning was in response to the lawmaker’s comments suggesting Muslim immigration is the “real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today.”
The alleged shooter wrote a 70-page manifesto illustrating his support for white nationalist extremism — and even suggesting support of President Trump.
