The right is trying to link George Soros and George Floyd protests. Don't let it.

Why does Emily repeatedly conflate “protesting” with “rioting”, and First Amendment rights with violence?

Why does she accept the word of “An Open Society Foundations representative” as unquestionable fact, but not the word of Candace Owen?

One way to find out if Soros is involved is to eliminate him. By any means necessary.

Just ignore it when the DA of St. Louis, elected largely because of massive Soros support, releases everyone arrested during the riots. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Probably because Soros owns her boss. But you’ll never be able to prove it.

No, George Soros and his foundations do not pay Politifact to print lies.

They say “protest” in the headline, and only talk about violence later.

Soros did give $33,000,000 to Black Lives Matter. He says he did not fund protest, but protest is what Black Lives Matter does.

Soros did spend a lot of money getting DAs elected in these cities, and the DAs he got elected are letting protesters out of jail immediately and putting them back on the street.

Utterly stupid.

You cannot prove a negative, yet she attempts to do so.

and yet, if at least one member of the Soros family
was taken to Gitmo for every city torched,
its funding would end ... IMMEDIATELY.

Who to believe? Who to believe?

Soros SAYS he isn’t funding the riots. Candace Owens SAYS he is through the Open Society. I believe Owens. But none of the ‘factchecking’ (Left) Organizations will go with Candace. She is a black who thinks for herself so must be ignored. The ‘factchecking’ orgs don’t like minorities who think for themselves.

Makes sense now why DA’s were releasing criminals during the corona lockdowns. Prepping for the riots.

“PolitiFact could find no evidence that Soros or the Open Society Foundations had contributed to any organization that financed street protests in Minneapolis.”

How hard did they look? It sounds like all they did is check the website, and ask someone if they were financing the rioting. Do you think Soros would actually admit to doing this?

You can smell the Soros stink all over the riots.

Soros SAYS he isn’t funding the riots.


lying is an art. He isn’t funding the riots officially. He can truthfully say that.

Politifact is a soroznazi disinformation site ——. “ 8. Politifact is run by liberal media outlets in Florida and is a project of the Poynter Institute (funded by liberal billionaire George Soros). Poynter last year was exposed for trying to take down almost 30 conservative web sites:
Poynter, the journalism institute responsible for training writers and reporters, decided to promote a left-wing smear of conservative groups online. The result was a hit job written by someone who works for the anti-conservative Southern Poverty Law Center for a journalism organization funded by prominent liberal billionaires such as George Soros and Pierre Omidyar.
Poynter is funded by Open Society Foundations, liberal billionaire George Soros’ massive foundations, as well as the Omidyar Network. The two combined for “$1.3 million in grant funding.” Funds were sent to Poynter specifically to establish the International Fact-Checking Network. The ‘UnNews’ list was started to help fact-checking organizations determine what was ..”.( Lifenews )
