Liberal mega donor George Soros pledged that he has "no intention" of slowing down his donations to progressive district attorneys and dismissed the notion their policies were to blame for crime spikes nationwide.
"Some politicians and pundits have tried to blame recent spikes in crime on the policies of reform-minded prosecutors," Soros wrote in an op-ed published Sunday in the Wall Street Journal. "The research I’ve seen says otherwise. The most rigorous academic study, analyzing data across 35 jurisdictions, shows no connection between the election of reform-minded prosecutors and local crime rates."
Soros attempted to make the case that policies implemented by prosecutors he has donated millions of dollars to, including New York City District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon, have been "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 wrote, adding, "The goal is not defunding the police but restoring trust between the police and the policed, a partnership that fosters the solving of crimes."
Soros’s article comes as violent crime has surged in recent years in Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, and other areas where he has supported progressive district attorneys.
Voters in San Francisco recently voted to recall District Attorney Chesa Boudin, who was financially backed by Soros, amid a spike in both crime and homelessness in recent years.

SPJNK.
Ronna McDaniel will continue to not inform voters that the DA and SOS candidates are being funded by Soros in elections.
LOL...so true.
Worthless hack, that she is. :-(
How McDaniel still has her job is beyond me.
Soros’ people have been booted from at least five countries for trying to destabilize the government, including China, which was an outright attempt to take over.
So why haven’t any of these nations put out a contract on him yet?
In a sane world they would have scrubbed him, his family, and his henchmen.
Soros should be financially held accountable for the financial support of liberal prosecutors who will not follow the law. Hundreds of people have been maimed, injured severely and killed as the result of liberal AG’s and other legal prosecutors. Soros should be held for medical expense, loss of income and deaths caused by these Soros supported and financed individuals. Its like an engineer who designs a bridge that he wants to collapse because it will change the area where it is located for whatever reason. By his own admissions he is supporting these people and should be held financially accountable.
