Billionaire Hungarian-born financier George Soros is considered akin to a James Bond villain by many conservatives because he is mysterious, old, and funds just about every extremist leftist cause you think of. Just utter the words “Soros-backed prosecutor,” and you can be sure crime skyrocketed in whatever locale we’re talking about. He’s backed every woke, soft-on crime district attorney you could name, from former LA DA George Gascón to the notorious Philadelphia criminal apologist Larry Krasner to Cook County Illinois' former ridiculousness, Kim Foxx (remember Jussie Smollett?). The list is long.
He’s pumped at least $24 billion into far-left causes, and the effects are felt far and wide.
But after the Trump administration announced in recent days that they plan to investigate whether his actions have ties to domestic terrorism, the 95-year-old activist—through a spokesperson, of course—said that he was oh so innocent and would never engage in anything except for the most noble of undertakings:
The Open Society Foundations, founded by liberal billionaire George Soros, issued a forceful rebuttal Monday to claims made by the Trump administration and the Justice Department.
In a letter written by Michael Vachon, a senior adviser to Soros, the organization denied allegations that it or Soros has engaged in unlawful activity or promoted violence, calling the claims "100 percent false" and politically motivated.
Why, we would never, the foundation argued:
The Vachon letter went on to underscore OSF's position: "The Trump Administration has repeatedly made false claims about OSF and George Soros. Allegations that George or OSF are in any way engaged in unlawful activity or in fomenting or promoting violence are 100 percent false."
California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton begs to differ, noting that the ageing billionaire is all-in for extremist California Governor Gavin Newsom’s effort to torch the state constitution and rig elections in the Golden State even more than they already are:
GUESS WHO'S teaming up with Newsom to silence YOUR vote?

George Soros. Funding violent riots, BLM, and woke madness wasn’t enough. Soros, like me a Hungarian immigrant, is a DISGRACE to America. If you hate this country so much, Gyorgy, just leave. We're sick of you.

Unrepentant: George Soros Vows to Continue Backing Woke Prosecutors Despite the Lives They’ve Ruined
Vachon wrote: "All of OSF's activities are peaceful and lawful." Tell that to the countless victims of crime in our inner cities, or the people whose lives were ruined by his funding of “criminal justice reform"—also known as “prioritizing the criminals over the citizens.”

Soros has handed off many of his duties to his son, Alex, who recently married former Rep. Anthony “Carlos Danger” Weiner’s ex-wife and Hillary Clinton enabler Huma Abedin, but he still remains involved in spreading his millions of dollars to far-left causes. He ghoulishly started his fortune in 1992 by collecting a cool $1 billion while “breaking the Bank of England” with his betting against the English pound—costing the government an estimated £3.4 billion.
There’s no crime in funding left-leaning organizations—unless they’re terroristic. Whether or not his more recent actions are criminal is now up to the Department of Justice to determine.
The left’s soft-on-crime policies have wreaked havoc on America.
