‘Same machine, different zip code’: Jason Whitlock links Lindsay Clancy’s $1 million GoFundMe to Karmelo Anthony

The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy — the 36-year old former nurse from Duxbury, Massachusetts, who confessed to killing her three young children — is making national waves.

According to court records and statements from the prosecution, on January 24, 2023, Clancy sent her then-husband on an errand. While he was gone, she strangled their three children — Cora, age 5; Dawson, age 3; and Callan, approximately 8 months old — with exercise bands in the basement. Clancy’s lawyers do not dispute that she killed the children. They are asking a Massachusetts jury to find her not criminally responsible, citing postpartum psychosis and her report of a male voice ordering her to take the children’s lives and her own.

Support, largely female, has rallied around Clancy — with some framing her as a victim of a fragmented, overmedicating health care system and others pushing conspiracy theories that her husband, Patrick, is the real killer who framed her.

But instead of just wearing pink T-shirts to show solidarity and holding silent vigils, supporters can now donate to the Musgrove Family Fund — a GoFundMe account started in mid-August by a Wisconsin TikTok creator for Lindsay Clancy’s parents, Mike and Paula Musgrove.

The account has already accumulated over $1 million of its $2 million goal.

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is deeply disturbed by the entire situation — including the robust support for Clancy and her parents.

“Three dead children. A million-dollar pot so the killer's parents can sit the livestream in comfort,” he says.

"Postpartum becomes a hall pass, fundraising becomes penance, sympathy migrates from the grave to the defendant table because a secular people cannot say a mother who strangles three children has sinned,” he says.

It’s the same brand of darkness, Whitlock points out, that defined the robust and loud support for Karmelo Anthony, who was convicted in June for murdering 17-year old Austin Metcalf. The GiveSendGo account started by his mother raised roughly $634,000.

“Same machine, different zip code, different skin, same transfer of sympathy,” he says, comparing the Clancy and Anthony cases.

“In Massachusetts, the dead are three children, and the living adult on trial is their mother. The culture rushes to her diagnosis, her meds, her parents' hotel bill. In Texas, the dead is a 17-year-old track athlete and football player, and the living adult with the knife said a push made the blade necessary. The culture rushed to his fear, his race, his family's GoFundMe,” he continues.

The support for the killers in both of these cases, he argues, exemplifies a “godlessness.”

“A people who still answer to God can hold two truths. A sick woman can still be sick and still be guilty of murder; a teenager can feel insulted and still be a murderer,” says Whitlock.

“Suffering is real. Disrespect is real. Neither one writes a blank check on a child's life. Sin does not evaporate because a psychiatrist arrives after the fact. Murder does not shrink because a boy says, ‘He put his hands on me,”’ he continues. “The sixth commandment did not come with a postpartum footnote. It did not come with a disrespect clause.”

People who see themselves as God, says Whitlock, make their own commandments — “Thou shalt not judge a mother; thou shalt not question a racial narrative.”

He reads from Judges 21:25: “Every man did what was right in his own eyes.”

“Judges 21:25 is not ancient color. It is August 2026 in Plymouth and last spring in Frisco,” he warns.
