George Soros is heavily engaged in American politics, and he is as liable to be criticized for that engagement as is anyone else. The phrase to which Scarborough objects is “Soros-backed,” which Governor DeSantis used yesterday to describe Alvin Bragg. And why did DeSantis say that Alvin Bragg is “Soros-backed.” I’ll tell you: because Alvin Bragg is backed by George Soros. Here’s CNBC:

Soros’ $1 million check to the Color of Change PAC, the largest individual donation it received in the 2022 election cycle, came days after it endorsed Bragg for district attorney and pledged more than $1 million in spending to support his candidacy, according to records.

CNBC also notes that Soros has spent “hundreds of millions of dollars in donations to back Democratic political campaigns.” Which, as it happened, I already knew, because George Soros writes about it from time to time in public.

[This is part and parcel of the attempt by the political ruling clique in the Beltway to suppress all dissent as either mental illness, bigotry, or both. Both the Soviets and the CCP have a long track record of using these strategies, and don’t be surprised if the ruling elite start using the power of government to press it in the US at some point. — Ed]
