“In celebration of whatever the f—k maga night is, I am committed to donating $100,000 to the bail outs of protestors across the country,” Teigen first tweeted Saturday.

The model, who is married to John Legend, then upped the ante when a commenter attempted to correct her tweet, branding the protesters “rioters and criminals.”

“Ooo they might need more money then. Make it $200,000,” Teigen responded.

Teigen’s pledge got the approval of fans, including journalist Yashar Ali, who tweeted, “I’m so proud of you, baby.”

Teigen’s original tweet was also a response to President Donald Trump — who had earlier in the day tweeted about hosting a MAGA night at the White House.

“The professionally managed so-called ‘protesters’ at the White House had little to do with the memory of George Floyd. They were just there to cause trouble. The @SecretService handled them easily. Tonight, I understand, is MAGA NIGHT AT THE WHITE HOUSE???” the president wrote.

Within just an hour, Teigen’s tweets amassed more than 15,000 retweets and 112,000 likes.
