Austin Child’s Hot Chocolate Fundraiser for Border Wall Met with Support and Criticism

AUSTIN (WBAP/KLIF News) – A seven-year-old boy in Austin has raised over $2200 for President Trump’s long-promised border wall by selling hot chocolate.

Little Benton Stevens said he came up with the plan after watching Trump’s State of the Union speech.

He and his parents, Shane and Jennifer Stevens, told KXAN TV they received some support but also backlash over the fundraiser with some people referring to Benton as “Little Hitler.”

Benton’s parents said they’re members of the Republican National Committee and talk politics with their children.
