George Soros, the liberal billionaire and a billionaire in Liberal politics is taking a big stand against those who criticize him for his support of woke prosecutors across the country. He claimed in a recent commentary that the “agenda” of his “reform-minded prosecutors” is both “popular” and “effective.”
Soros made no apologies for funding radical, anti-police prosecutors in a July 31 commentary headlined, “Why I Support Reform Prosecutors.” His subheadline was just as ridiculous: “Justice or safety? It’s a false choice. They reinforce each other.” It’s unclear who Soros is suggesting argued that promoting justice and safety were antithetical to one another, but that did not stop him from pushing his absurd agenda.
“I have supported the election (and more recently the re-election) of prosecutors who support reform. I have done it transparently, and I have no intention of stopping,” he wrote. “The funds I provide enable sensible reform-minded candidates to receive a hearing from the public. Judging by the results, the public likes what it’s hearing.” Soros continued: “This agenda, aiming at both safety and justice, is based on both common sense and evidence. It’s popular. It’s effective.” [Emphasis added].
Soros, is that true? That’s strange, because one of the most liberal cities in the U.S., San Francisco, voted to remove the infamously woke District Attorney Chesa Boudin. According to the report, Boudin was able to raise $620,000 through a network of Soros-funded feeder organisations. The Washington Times. And if that wasn’t enough to prove Boudin’s leftist chops, Wall Street Journal opinion columnist Andy Kessler reported that Boudin once served as an interpreter for former dictator of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez.
Soros also attempted to distance himself from the radical leftist “defund-the-police” movement. “The goal is not defunding the police but restoring trust between the police and the policed, a partnership that fosters the solving of crimes,” he wrote.
Soros can denounce the “defund-the-police” movement in print, but his money tells a different story. According to Fox News reporter Joe Schoffstall, the far-left billionaire supported an effort to defund and replace Minneapolis’ Police Department. Schoffstall claimed that Open Society Policy Center or OSPC, which is part of Soros’ philanthropic network gave $500,000 for a radical group dedicated to defunding police officers, Vote Yes 4 Minneapolis.
Soros was able to present himself as deeply concerned about safety and security, even though he has supported the elimination of police department. “Like most of us, I’m concerned about crime. One of government’s most important roles is to ensure public safety.”
Except Soros-backed prosecutors aren’t actually improving the justice system. A Soros-funded prosecutor who pressed for the imprisonment of a father who claimed that a student from a different gender raped his child in Loudoun County’s school bathroom was another example of a Soros-funded wake proponent. The father was left bruised and bleeding after he was confronted by police during the June 2021 meeting of the school board.
