Rep. Rashida Tlaib Was Paid by Soros and Failed to Disclose It
World Tribune ^ | January 11, 2019 | Christopher Holton

Posted on 01/17/2019 9:33:47 AM PST by gattaca

WorldTribune.com and the Washington Free Beacon both reported this week that the anti-semitic member of Congress, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, failed to disclose that she was paid $85,000 by a George Soros front group for a “Leadership in Government Fellowship.”

Tlaib disclosed other sources of income, raising suspicions that she intentionally attempted to conceal her ties to the controversial tycoon who has spent a fortune promoting Leftist causes and attacking conservatives.

This revelation is significant for two primary reasons:

It shows the continued insidious influence of the Soros syndicate of NGOs on Left-wing politics in America. Over the past decade or so, Soros funded front groups have built up a disproportionate amount of influence with Leftist policy groups, Left-wing politicians and Leftist journalists, simply by throwing money at them. It’s clear from the revelations about Tlaib that the process of influencing politicians starts very early, before they even enter office or win an election.

Soros’ influence has forced Democrat leaders to radically change their positions on issues, particularly the most prominent issue currently in the news, namely border security and illegal immigration. There was a time not so long ago that Democrat leaders supported reasonable immigration laws and border security.

Rashida Tlaib is bigoted against Jews. Since being elected, Rep. Tlaib has provided ample evidence that she is bigoted toward Jews, such as promoting conspiracy theories about the influence of Jews on policies and questioning the loyalty of Jewish Americans.

She also has a map displayed in her office on which Israel has been replaced with a post-it note labeled “Palestine.”

These activities are characteristic with a creeping and growing anti-semitism on the Left in America, particularly featuring slanderous verbal attacks on the Jewish state of Israel.

The irony here is that George Soros, a Jew himself, has recently resorted to accusing his critics of being anti-semitic. One wonders whether Soros would consider Tlaib anti-semitic and if he regrets paying her $85,000 in 2017.

She’ll get a strongly worded letter and file an amended statement. Move along, nothing to see here.

Maybe her constituents will vote Rep. Rashida Tlaib out of office.

The Democrat playbook is to:

1. Take the money when it's needed, and spend it to win.
2. Win the seat.
3. Apologize when found out and "return" the money when it is no longer needed.
4. Keep the seat.

I guess we'll never know if she would have still won the seat if she properly disclosed the money. We'll never know what her Republican opponent would have done with that knowledge in opposition campaign ads.

Soros was active in financing Leftists to run in the 2018 elections on the Democrat Party ticket. Everyone knows that. The proof is seeing this newly elected group of anti-Americans in action. Thanks, minorities and stupid suburban women, for undermining freedom by falling for the lies of the Left.

And therefore, by extension, George Soros himself is anti-Semitic.

Considering Soros’ OWN collusion with Nazis in the waning months of the Second World War, revealing pockets of Jews who up to then had escaped detection ad capture, there is some commission of war crimes that was never brought up for indictment, and subsequent punishment commensurate with the enormity of the perfidy that the Soros empire has unleashed upon the world.

This ‘person’ is an elected member of the United States of America Congress.

Let that sink in...

Hopefully, she didn’t report this to the IRS. They are less likely to look the other way. Although even it has been politicized under Obama, just not to the same degree.

George Soros does not like God.

George Soros likes money.

George Soros does not like The United States.

George Soros likes money.

Never forget that Chelsea Clinton (Hillary’s only child) had her wedding at a Soros estate.

Soros got his start working for the Nazis. Why shouldn’t he continue to work with anti-Semites? It’s not like he changed his stripes.

She should be denied national security clearance for maintaining her muslim persona that allows taqiyya, or lying to promote Islam.
