Americans can’t let Twitter noise overwhelm political reality…
I have been watching a truly curious phenomenon over the past few days.
It seems there is suddenly a movement in media to silence anyone who speaks out against George Soros – and, specifically, his funding of radical prosecutors seeking to change the criminal justice system by simply ignoring certain crimes.
This happened to me personally this week while I was being interviewed on Fox’s Outnumbered. When I brought up Soros’s plan to get pro-criminal, anti-police prosecutors elected across the country, two of the show’s participants interrupted me and forcefully asserted that Soros was not involved.
Host Harris Faulkner, it seemed, was stunned by the interruptions, and did her part to move the show forward after some awkward silence. The next day, she addressed the strange moment during the show and condemned censorship.
Immediately after the show, Twitter and other social media went crazy. People were alleging that any criticism of Soros’s political involvement is automatically false, anti-Semitic, or both.
This is ludicrous.
Soros’s plan to elect these prosecutors has been well documented already – and it has nothing to do with his spiritual or ethnic background. The Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, Politico, USA Today, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press, CBS, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel – even Fox News itself, among others, have all thoroughly reported on it.
There are plenty of specific examples of Soros’s work in action.
Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot, who campaigned on the promise that he would not prosecute a host of crimes—including thefts—admitted his campaign was largely funded through Soros or his groups. He has been so dismissive of crime and police that Texas Governor Greg Abbott has had to send in the Texas State Patrol to police large swaths of Dallas.
Soros gave $333,000 to the Safety and Justice PAC in 2016 to support then-Cook County District Attorney candidate Kim Foxx in Illinois—who is currently presiding over terrible violence and mayhem in Chicago, where murders are twice what they were in 2019.
Soros and his organizations spent $1.7 million to help get Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner elected in 2018. Before being elected, Krasner earned a name for himself by suing the Philadelphia Police Department 75 times. Since he took office, dozens of experienced prosecutors have either been fired or resigned. Criminal prosecutions have plummeted and crime has risen. Philadelphia now has the second-highest murder rate among large cities in the country.
Former Hugo Chavez advisor and current San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin was also funded by Soros and his groups. Boudin has called prison “an act of violence” and has refused to prosecute a slew of illegal acts, from public urination to the public solicitation of sex, which he deems to be “quality of life crimes.” By the way, Boudin is the foster child of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, of terrorist group Weather Underground fame. His birth parents were convicted and imprisoned for their involvement in an armed robbery-turned-homicide.
One of Soros’s favored PACs spent $402,000 to support a failed San Diego County District Attorney bid by Geneviéve Jones-Wright.
In 2016, a Soros-funded super PAC donated $107,000 to benefit Raul Torrez in his Bernalillo County District Attorney primary—which he won by a 2-to-1 margin. In fact, Soros’s huge funding prompted the Republican running to bow out because it was just too expensive to run against Torrez.
Soros-backed George Gascon is currently challenging Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey, who has been targeted and systematically harassed by Black Lives Matter supporters.
I’m not overly surprised to see the Twitter mob embrace a sudden, near-universal denial of these facts. I am alarmed to see that the force of this groupthink on social media appears to be strongly influencing professional media.
I think the heart of this mass denial is that Democrats and the Left are watching the terrible human cost of their misguided, pro-criminal, anti-police justice policies, and they are beginning to worry that the American people will realize who is responsible for them.
Rather than deal with something difficult—or admit they were wrong—the activists of the radical Left are trying to find some way to scream “racist” and get the media to follow suit.
America will suffer if our professional media continue to be overruled by our social media.

Mormontard Romney troll.
It’s Latter Day Saints, Jesus Christ, Church of.
Your church was founded by a pedophile.
Wasn’t that islam?
Let’s go back to square number one in southeastern Europe in the 30’s when this bastard and his father ratted out their fellow Jews only to go back and steal their belongings and guide the Germans to the vacated apartments. He has not changed his stripes one bit and among his latest episodes are to fund ngo’s in an effort to flood Europe with illegals from Africa.
He’s doing it again by using our own rules to screw the inner cities and should have been stopped years ago.
we’re not supposed to allow foreigners to influence our elections but he gets a green card and does just that.
Now do AIPAC.
Finkelstein and Birnbaum manufactured the Nazi bullshit about Soros.

If anything, he is a hybrid Bolshevik-Vulture Capitalist.
Can somebody please inform this asshole that the FBI reports to HIM?
Anarchists NO
Thugs YES
See definition of anarchy for further assistance.
TC, What in the world makes you think that anyone associated with the FBI takes orders from Pres. Trump? Please show your proof.
Trump being totally impotent to do anything in the organization of which he’s the chief executive is the best argument Trump supporters have left at this point.
It would help sooooo much if he would stop taking advisement for Jared and not appoint people like Wray.
Wray is gone post election.
Are you sure? Why is he still there now?
Why did he do an interview with Bob Woodward? Why did he do a Town Hall with George Stephanopoulos?
He’s a phony and we all know it, but he’s all we’ve got. The other side is blatantly saying they are going to kill us and I’m pretty sure they mean it.
Soros’ plan is to fund candidates who will focus on reducing incarceration, police misconduct, and bail reform.
It would appear Harris objected to Newt broad-brushing that as “pro-criminal, anti-police”.
That may be what you think he wanted to do but apparently he didn’t do the research. Jail is different than prison and the prosecutors had to know while the “struggle” was still going they would wade right back into the riot and destroy more property and hurt more people so- even if that was not his intent- that was the result. You put him there and you assign innocent intent which would not mitigate the prosecution.
It might help if you would stop going on Fox and go to OAN. Same with Trump, why waste time with Woodward hackamongous and go to OAN.
I can’t find OAN except online. I see their people on Newsmax fairly often.
Try Pluto app on the Roku.
An ex Nazi collaborator teaching his communist minions to call liberty-minded and free Americans fascists. The work of the devil himself.
Great summary. Stainless steel logic.
Soros is a perverse, psychlogical terrorist attempting to inflict a whole nation (in fact, as much of the West as he can) with a suicidal self hatred akin to a Munchausen style syndrome.
