| Leftwing billionaire George
Soros just donated $1.5 million to help the nation’s most
populous county elect a Black Lives Matter-endorsed prosecutor who promises
to lock up fewer criminals. The sizable contribution to former San
Francisco District Attorney George Gascon’s campaign for Los
Angeles District Attorney is part of a broader effort by Soros to place
leftists in local prosecutors’ offices around the country. The
philanthropist has donated generously to these types of candidates
throughout California as well as in other states, including Florida,
Virginia, Illinois, Texas and New Mexico. Earlier this year, a Soros-linked
group called Missouri Justice Public Safety PAC gave St. Louis
prosecutor Kimberly Gardner, who criminally charged a couple for defending
their home against violent Black Lives Matter protestors, $78,000.
Soros also helped fund Gardner’s 2016 campaign and his reelection support
has not wavered even though she was investigated for abusing her power to
pursue a bogus criminal case against a political nemesis and fined for
campaign finance violations. |
