Liberal billionaire George Soros just wrote the “biggest check” of the 2020 election cycle so far to start his own super PAC.
Federal Election Commission filings revealed Soros put $5.1 million into the new Democracy PAC, according to Politico. The July 31 article interpreted Soros’ move as an indication he “may be poised to spend heavily in the 2020 elections.”
“The $5.1 million that Soros put in the PAC more than doubles the $2.1 million he had donated to political causes at this point in the 2016 elections. He would eventually give more than $20 million to Democratic politics during the 2016 race, making him one of the party's biggest individual donors,” Politico said.
Politico reported that Soros plans to use the PAC to fund other organizations as opposed to using it “to start his own free-standing political group,” such as liberal billionaire and presidential candidate Tom Steyer has in the past. Steyer created and heavily funded NextGen America and Need to Impeach to promote his agenda items including climate change and impeachment.
Soros, “unlike Tom Steyer or [Michael] Bloomberg, funded things like Senate Majority PAC and Priorities USA and EMILY’s List and Planned Parenthood and expects to continue to do so,” Politico said.
Politico suggested Alexander Soros, George Soros’ younger son, who is also a major Democratic donor, and other family members may donate to Democracy PAC as well.
The Washington Post noted on Nov. 2, 2016, that Alexander Soros had donated $3.3 million to Democrat causes.
Open Secrets listed [George] Soros as the seventh highest federal donor in 2018. The $20,135,585 he donated all went to Democrats and liberals, which undoubtedly assisted their successful campaign to regain majority control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
CNBC reported on Oct. 30, 2018, Soros’ 2018 giving included $5 million to Priorities USA Action: “a super PAC that backed Obama and Clinton when they each ran for president.”
Although $20 million may seem like a lot, Soros’ political donations are only a fraction of the money he spends promoting left-wing causes. In 2017, his Open Society Foundations said that Soros had given away about $14 billion over his lifetime to fund liberal groups and activism on immigration, abortion, journalism. In October of that year, Soros shifted another $18 billion into OSF, bringing its assets to more than $25 billion.
MRC Business also found that he had spent more than $103 million over 14 years on journalism and media. That included “infrastructure of news - journalism schools, investigative journalism and even industry organizations.”
Here is a challenge for you Mr Trump. Ensure this horrible sub human dies penniless
A felon meddling in the US elections!
The left is all about equality except when it comes to a habdful of their Billionaire’s trying to buy elections.
Then its complete silence.
cheapskate
Now THERE is a “foreign influence” on US elections.
George Soros may have been “naturalized”, but that was a matter of money, not idealism. Neither he nor any of his family have ever assimilated to the American spirit, but retain all the Old World belief in authoritarian government and unquestioned paternalism, “Papa Knows Best”.
“Command-and-control” societies are conspicuous by the very uniformity of their dedication to a ruling oligarchy in authority, controlling of a huge mass of obedient servants.
The politics of the anthill.
Bond villain. In real life.
Republicans, always framed with false charges of being the party of the rich, could be making a lot more out of the issue of leftist big money controlling our political life.
P
I hope all the Trump-voters will make sure to get out and vote, they are stronger than Soros with all his money.
think of what a nice prison cell that $5.1 million “seed money” could buy for him~!!!!
True, but I seriously doubt any of that is really his money. It's most likely money-laundered American tax payer money he is using, unfortunately. They game our own tax dollars against us.
CGato
Piker!
Better yet, have an armed drone missle “accidentally” hit his home and corporations.
Yep, The Devil has a lot of people with money. This is his work, count on it.
He needs to be burned at the stake
Takes more than money to win an election. Hillary had a $1 Billion campaign? Where is she now? 2020 election will be a Trump Landslide unequaled in US history.
Soros is a fascist sympathizer. A liberal fascist . We can see the result of SOROS money in things like Barack Obamas liberal Fascist Movement, AOC’s fascist Chief of Staff, and Democrat terrorist organization ANTIFA. Soros should be in jail.
The history is here:

A fool and his money, parting company.
Democrats are indeed the party of the rich! Liberals Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Mark Zuckerberg are the four richest billionaires in the U.S.
