Progressives Trot out a Tired, Old Soros Trope to Smear Marco Rubio – Opinion

Progressive left Very Protective of George Soros, billionaire. They have a peculiar strategy to deal with the critics of George Soros, as they love their favourite political financier.

Whenever a conservative criticizes Soros or points out the numerous political efforts of which he has been a part, progressives respond by pretending it’s an expression of anti-Semitism. That’s right; since Soros is Jewish, the left pretends he somehow represents all of Jewry–therefore, attacking him is attacking all Jews.

This trope has been used by the left for many years. But in the latest episode of “Everyone Who Criticizes Soros Hates Jews,” Democrats went after Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), after he posted a tweet about Democrats shutting down a bill that would compel “Soros backed prosecutors” to actually do their jobs. “The democrats just blocked my effort to try & force Soros backed prosecutors to put dangerous criminals in jail,” Rubio tweeted.

Rubio’s tweet was met with the usual wailing and gnashing of teeth coming from the Consortium of the Perpetually Offended™. Many left-wing blue-checkmarks responded by making the same accusations against anti-Semitism. Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers and an ardent defender of progressive ideology being infused into K-12 classrooms, went full hysterical, claiming that Rubio’s remarks were “how anti semitism takes root and spread.”

This is how anti-semitism grows and spreads. What is a “Soros” backed prosecutor? Soros is a Hungarian Jew who survived the Holocaust.. Orban the authoritarian leader of Hungary demonizes Soros all the time in Orban’s culture war to suppress freedom & democracy.

Kathleen Smith, a podcaster, also made false statements about Soros critics. “When Rubio says ‘Soros backed prosecutors’, what he’s really saying is ‘Jews,’” she wrote. “This is important. It’s (weakly) coded antisemitism.”

Dan Murphy, an alleged journalist, claimed that when Rubio says “Soros,” he is referring to “Jews.”

And remember kids, when Marco Rubio says “Soros” he means “Jews.”

Strange that progressives expect everyone to see Soros as an equal for all Jews is absurd. After all, he is only one man. But then again, they did spend the entirety of President Barack Obama’s tenure in the White House pretending that anyone who said an ill word about his performance was akin to the Ku Klux Klan, right?

Even more fascinating is the fact that Soros publicly announced his intent to support far-left progressive candidates for national attorney general offices. It is how New York’s Alvin Bragg, San Francisco’s Chesa Boudin, and Los Angeles’ George Gascon obtained their positions. In fact, Capital Research’s Parker Thayer put an entire list together of officials that Soros funded.

This is what progressives are trying to distract from by screaming “anti-Semite” at Rubio on social media. It is not anti-Jewish bigotry to criticize the financier, they know. This tactic is only effective for those who believe it already.
