Outrageous! Billionaire George Soros spent an outrageous $35 million dollars to foment hateful anti–police sentiment across the country in 2021!
According to Fox News Digital reporter Joe Schoffstall, Soros’ Open Society Foundations funneled the money into a variety of anti–police groups and initiatives. This is an outrageous attempt to undermine our police force, which provides a vital service to our communities.
It‘s unacceptable that one man can spend such an exorbitant amount of money to spread such damaging lies and misinformation. We must stand up and fight back against this dangerous vitriol—So of COURSE the leftist nets aren’t reporting on it!
Overhauling the American criminal justice system is a “high priority” for Soros, wrote Schoffstall. Soros’ millions went toward “groups that back defunding police, hubs used by progressive activists aiming to dismantle law enforcement, and even funding databases to track donations to police department foundations and unions.” Schoffstall also mentioned Soros’ record of financially backing “dozens of far-left prosecutor candidates as part of the efforts.”
Open Society-U.S. co-director Laleh Ispahani apparently didn’t mind using Schoffstall’s discovery to smear police officers across the country and push defunding police departments in comments to Fox News.
“The level of police violence, particularly impacting communities of color, has spurred reform efforts across the country,” Ispahani reportedly said. “Open Society supports the exploration and development of policies that actually work to reduce crime and defers to communities regarding what alternatives make sense to them. Whether that includes shifting funding currently allocated to policing into services that actually work to address crime and improve public safety is up to them.” [Emphasis added.]
Soros contributed $15 million to the “Tides Advocacy for Electoral Justice Project,” according to Schoffstall. “The initiative is spearheaded by the Movement for Black Lives, a coalition of more than 50 Black Lives Matter-aligned organizations that advocate defunding police and revamping the criminal justice system.”
Of course, not a peep from the peanut gallery. ABC, CBS, and NBC couldn’t be bothered to mention Soros’ role in the defund-the-police effort. World News from ABC During their Dec. 21 programs, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News all pretended the Fox News scoop on Soros’ financing didn’t exist.
