As voters continue the agonizing wait for midterm election results of key races in Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada, they at least know something about the balance of power in the office of state district attorneys: Several radical progressive candidates who soared to victory in landslide wins were backed by mega-billionaire globalist George Soros.
A new report by Fox Digital News that searched election results and finance records found that at least four prosecutor candidates received significant funding from the leftist financier, who funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars into their races and the races of others he has supported previously.
According to the Fox News investigation, Soros’ “district attorney operation” is led by veteran treasurer Whitney Tymas, who sets up “pop-up” political action committees (PAC) in states where he seeks out candidates to support and then pours piles of money into these newly established PACs, which disband after the elections.
“Tymas established committees on the city level, such as in Philadelphia for District Attorney Larry Krasner,” reported the outlet, noting that the probe “solely covered state databases, which means there could be more candidates.”
In the November general elections, progressive candidates in Texas, Maine, and Iowa sailed easily to victory with the help of Soros’ financial backing.
Iowa’s Polk County Democratic primary candidate Kimberly Graham received more than $300,000 in Soros cash this past summer. Graham breezed past Republican defense attorney Allan Richards in the midterms by a margin of 14 percentage points.
Elsewhere, the Maine Justice and Public Safety PAC bankrolled Democratic candidate Jackie Sartoris with $300,000 of the billionaire’s funds to help her defeat Cumberland County’s Democratic District Attorney Jonathan Sahrbeck in a June primary. Sartoris ran without Republican or Independent opposition and was favored to win the general election.
Soros’ donations also aided Texas candidates Joe Gonzalez and John Creuzot, for Bexar County district attorney and Dallas County district attorney, respectively, both of whom had their careers jump-started by Soros years ago. Gonzalez staved off Republican challenger Marc LaHood, while Creuzot cruised past Republican challenger Faith Johnson by a margin of 20 percentage points.
Such lavish spending — estimated to be $130 million for the 2022 midterms — injected into the campaigns of far-left district attorneys is just the latest attempt by Soros to overhaul the American criminal-justice system. Soros cash has helped DAs from Krasner in Philadelphia and Kim Foxx in Chicago to Kim Gardner in St. Louis and George Gascon in Los Angeles to cripple cities and make them uninhabitable owing to rampant crime, drugs, and homelessness.
The business magnate’s Open Society Foundations, which funds a vast array of projects to companies and private individuals “working for justice, democratic governance, and human rights,” in 2020 alone pledged $70 million to social-justice initiatives that were part of a more significant $220 million effort for racial equality.
As Fox reported, Soros has additionally pushed for abolishing the police. “In 2019 and 2020, his Foundation to Promote Open Society, a nonprofit in his sprawling network, earmarked $4.5 million to the Community Resource Hub for Safety and Responsibility,” wrote the outlet.
Moreover, Soros’ Open Society Policy Center, his advocacy nonprofit, also pushed a $500,000 donation into the failed 2021 effort to “dismantle” and replace the Minneapolis Police Department. Democratic Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar strongly supported the effort spearheaded by far-left activists and Soros cash.
While the radical agenda of the far left has gripped many facets of American society, residents rejecting the soft-on-crime policies peddled by Soros DAs are making strides as well. Recall efforts have successfully ousted woke DAs such as San Francisco’s Chesa Boudin over rising crime concerns, effectively stalling the movement toward more lenient prosecution. Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, a Boudin ally and predecessor, was also facing a recall that ultimately fell short of the signatures needed to move forward. Still, the electorate is becoming increasingly intolerant of dangerous policies that have ruined once-beautiful and bustling cities and made life unlivable for many families and children.
Billionaires such as Soros have the luxury of not only injecting their money into the funds for left-wing causes for which they feel strongly, but they can also use their money to move the future of this country in a certain direction. As reformed radical Maajid Nawaz recently told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, “the truth is the ruling class is funding extremism. We must understand that above politics is finance and above finance is ideas, and that the direction people want to take civilization toward is the direction that they take their finances.”
Still, the question remains as to why — despite the millions of dollars poured into these radical candidates — voters elect people such as Graham and Sartoris, promoting their anti-American agenda and contributing to the destruction of this great nation.
