DeSantis Raises Alarm Over Soros-Backed Buyout of Hispanic Radio
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | June 7, 2022 | Elizabeth Troutman

Posted on 06/08/2022 9:05:57 AM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Florida governor Ron DeSantis (R.) is taking out a Spanish-language radio ad to warn voters about a George Soros-backed company's purchase of Hispanic radio stations in Miami in order to "infiltrate" the state with leftist ideology.

"Warning, voters! The Left is taking control of our local media," reads an English translation of the DeSantis campaign's ad, which will run on stations set to be acquired by a conglomerate financed by the left-wing billionaire. "George Soros, known for financing extreme leftist causes, is now financing the purchase of Hispanic radio stations right here in Miami."

The Latino Media Network, backed by Soros's Lakestar Finance, last week agreed to purchase 18 Hispanic radio stations across the country, including the conservative Radio Mambi in Miami. The acquisitions by the conglomerate, which is led by Democrats and left-wing activists, come amid increasing concerns within the Democratic Party about Republicans winning over Latino voters.

"The Soros-funded radical Left is running a scheme to manipulate local media in Florida to push their Marxist agenda on voters," DeSantis said in a tweet promoting his ad. "In Florida, we reject the professional Left and their attempt to infiltrate our state and will always stand for truth and freedom."

When is that gross old man going to die and give large amounts of his fortune to the IRS?

Thank God, for Gov DeSantis.

One of the few sounding any alarms.

It won’t be long, if it hasn’t happened already, DeSantis will be accused of being “anti-Semitic”.

The bulk of Soros’ fortune is already tied up in perpetual Leftist non-profits. At this point, none of the Soros clan makes a difference.

And there are several other Leftist foundations that are larger than the Soros ones.

Their tax-exempt status must be removed.

“ Thank God, for Gov DeSantis.”

He has an absolute duty to run for president in 2024. Trump’s heart is in the right place, but he lacks the focus and discipline to effectively defend us from the left.

Desantis in 2024!!!!

Evil will never give up. Evil will fight tooth and toe nail every inch of the way. Evil will not allow merely losing an election stand in their way. Evil can only be stopped by violence. And during the Coup of 2029 some sage on Free Republic posted, “Using violence is beneath our [implying Conservatives] dignity.” So there you have it. We are now ruled by very evil men and women. Have fun.

It's nice that he's issuing this warning, but the takeover of conservative radio in Florida by Soros is not stopped in any way by this. Very alarming.

Finally. Someone who will actually take on Soros.

I haven’t seen real leadership like this in a long, long time.

Yeah. The left will never go after DeSantis the way they do Trump.

Remind us why please.

the governor is correct, SorozNazi will use the network to propagandize and attempt to brainwash the listeners in his far leftist, anti=American politics

Of course. The left will go after Desantis. They’re already doing it.

But he’s very effective in fighting back. Look how he flipped the narrative on the “don’t say gay” bill. His people renamed it the anti-groomer bill and put the media on the defensive big time.

As Lincolnnsaid re Grant, we can’t spare this mam - he fights

Stop. You’re saying he can withstand all they bombard trump with based on his local Florida fights.

You turn on trump over this. You’ll turn on DeSantis over the same things they have not begun to try.

I’ll stick by DeSantis long after the left has convinced my fellow suburban housewives to hate him, as I have with trump

People that compare DeSantis to trump pretending a little local skirmish over an obvious wrong is comparable to what trump put up with while making our country gray for the years he was in in addition to setting us up for the future are people who will turn on DeSantis ove the next fresh face in a minute

He’s not running and they have not even stared on him.
