Soros Vows to Continue Supporting Soft-on-Crime DAs Despite Backlash
American Greatness ^ | 2 Aug, 2022 | Eric Lendrum

Posted on 08/03/2022 4:52:19 AM PDT by MtnClimber

On Monday, far-left billionaire George Soros declared that he would continue to financially support district attorneys and other candidates who are explicitly soft on crime, falsely claiming that such candidates will make the criminal justice system “more effective and just.”

The New York Post reports that the 91-year-old Soros, in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, stated that “I have no intention of stopping” his support for prosecutors who deliberately reduce criminal penalties and refuse to enforce certain laws. Soros pointed to such examples as Alvin Bragg, the new District Attorney for Manhattan, whom Soros falsely called “popular” and “effective.”

“This agenda includes prioritizing the resources of the criminal-justice system to protect people against violent crime. It urges that we treat drug addiction as a disease, not a crime. And it seeks to end the criminalization of poverty and mental illness​,” Soros continued.

“​The goal is not defunding the police but restoring trust between the police and the policed, a partnership that fosters the solving of crimes,” he added.

Soros’ efforts to install far-left DAs across the country have been ongoing for many years, but have finally began to face political resistance. In a major upset, San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin, who was backed by Soros, was overwhelmingly voted out of office in a recall election, after the city saw a drastic rise in violent crime and drug use in broad daylight. Another Soros-backed DA, George Gascon in Los Angeles, is facing his own recall in November.

Bragg has had his share of controversies as well since taking office. His office oversaw the immediate release from jail of a black teenager who violently assaulted a police officer in a subway station, even though the assailant already had an extensive criminal record.

It is costing nothing, because he is using the economy to fund it. It is self perpetuating, as long as there is an economy.

The NAZI-loving, vile POS should be run out of the country on a rail.
Who let the SOB into the USA to start with?
MOSSAD should have taken his evil arse out years ago.

“This man should be in prison.”

Yes. In prison for a little while, as he and his family wait for their execution day. (Are they technically treasonous if they’re not Americans?)

He's a madman with serious issues around black people and society. He sees himself as a great savior of black people of some sort. He's nothing but an evil, deranged, felon, who collaborated with nazi's. He does not belong in respectable society.

Remember that little ditty about “Treason.”

“It never prospers because of the name...SO none dare call it “TREASON.”

I don’t care what we call it, Madam, even if they call it jay=walking...just get this evil excuse for a human being..OUT of America OR in Prison.

Regards

If I remember correctly, his SON looks like Alfred E. Neuman.

Not a good look for someone who is naturally evil.
