Today, Soros lied to Semafor — which apparently runs press releases for him — claiming that he “did not contribute” to Bragg’s campaign because “I don’t know him.” “Reporter” Ben Collins floated this laughable excuse yesterday, as well. Using this new standard, the only way to assert a candidate is “backed” by a patron is to obtain pictures of the two shaking hands while exchanging a bag of cash.

Soros groups gave at least $7 million to the outfit Color of Change, which was doling out cash to characters exactly like Bragg in 2020. Bragg took a million in his D.A. race campaign. (Soros’ son also gave Bragg money.) That is a considerable donation for a D.A. race. But Soros has been funding campaigns to elect leftist district attorneys since at least 2015. In 2016, stories with headlines like “George Soros’ quiet overhaul of the U.S. justice system” began appearing. And by 2019, Soros’ groups had pumped at least $17 million into local D.A. races. By 2023, that number probably hit $40 million. Soros has every right to do this. And we have every right to point it out.

None of this is a secret. In his Wall Street Journal column, “Why I Support Reform Prosecutors,” Soros lays out his views on criminal justice “reform” and brags about his financial backing.
