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

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.

I sometimes wonder if Soros is far-Left or is just trying to create chaos so he can make money trading securities that are damaged by it.

Oh, and just trying to destroy America because it is (or was) a country based on human decency and morality...and he hates decency and morality because he's a self-hating Jew.

If you criticize him, many will rush to his defense throwing the anti-Semite label at you. The man is evil and should be sent to a special hell!

It has worked so well everywhere it has been tried!

Soros needs something to report back to his committee of Obama and Gates so that they can relay their information back to Biden. (Biden is Clueless!)

The presidential election of 2020 was stolen outright by the DemonRats and they know it.

This is where we find ourselves today.

I couldn’t believe the folks on “The Five” on 8/2/22 when some of the enlightened said they didn’t think Soros was evil but basically eccentric even though in the past he has said the United States has to go and has contributed millions to do just that.

For a man who sold out his own people in Hungary working with the Nazi’s during WWII, why is he blowing millions on this issue? Tax write off?

Soros doesn’t spend his own money on this.

He’s just a cutout for foreign money.

We can stop 'the popular' Alvin Bragg with one easy move - put half way houses for these criminal thugs in upscale white liberal 'elite' neighborhoods.
