Charlottesville?
Let’s say, to be (way too) magnanimous - there was funding for those professors for ‘social justice’ or ‘racial equality protests’ that juiced the whole thing up. Marxist aim of creating chaos, causing class and racial divisions, bringing down universities. Quite effective it was. Doesn’t have to come with Soros’s name on it; I bet money from him goes to all kinds of Orwellian-named groups.
All you need is naive students that have been brainwashed, and we surely have those a-plenty.
Most people assume that Charlottesville was mostly all Soros-funded. Because of confusion factors there, I would suggest at least a second major group existed, and had no connection to Soros. It would be amusing if someone dug into the various groups and came to a mystery group which led back to the Russians.
