Why it matters who Fox News hires!

In the Federalist, Robby Starbuck shows the infamous Fox News effort by two Fox commentarians to keep Newt Gingrich from talking about George Soros funding leftist local officials. >Buying Prosecutors Who Are Soft on Crime Since 2015, Soros has pumped tens of millions of dollars into local races in Texas, Colorado, California, Oregon, Washington, Florida, and New York, as well as swing states such as Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Arizona. In 2016, Soros spent $2,000,000 on a single sheriff race in Maricopa County, Arizona, helping the leftist candidate, Paul Penzone, win. In Philadelphia, Soros spent an insane $1,700,000 to elect Larry Krasner DA. Soros has also given millions of dollars in grants to candidates in other states. These enormous contributions have a correspondingly enormous impact. Although his efforts haven’t been universally successful, the vast majority of Soros-backed candidates have won with Soros donations pushing them across the finish line. Here are just a few examples: $2,000,000 to fund Kim Foxx in her Cook County (Chicago, Ill.) re-election bid. $1,400,000 to fund Aramis Ayala’s campaign to become state’s attorney of Orlando, Fla. $1,150,000 to fund Jake Lilly’s run to become DA of Jefferson and Gilpin County (Denver) in Colorado. $958,000 to fund Joe Gonzales’s run to become DA of Bexar County (San Antonio, Texas). $650,000 to fund Jose Garza in his Travis County (Austin, Texas) re-election bid. $750,000 to fund Joe Kimok in his Broward County, Fla. state’s attorney race. $583,000 to fund Kim Ogg’s run to become Harris County (Houston, Texas) DA. $583,000 to fund Parisa Dehghani-Tafti in her race to be Arlington County (Va.) commonwealth’s attorney. $500,000 to fund Jody Owen’s run to become Hinds County, Miss. (Jackson) DA. $406,000 to fund James E. Stewart’s run to become Caddo Parish, La. (Shreveport) DA. $392,000 to fund Steve T. Descano’s bid to become Fairfax County (Va.) commonwealth’s attorney. $275,000 to fund Diana Becton’s bid to remain as Contra Costa County, Calif. DA. $147,000 to fund Darius Pattillo in his run to become Harris County, Ga. DA. $116,000 to fund Kim Gardner’s re-election bid as St. Louis circuit attorney. $107,000 to fund Raul Torrez bid to become Benalillo County (Albuquerque, N.M.) DA. $89,000 to fund Scott Colom’s bid to become DA of Lowndes County, Miss. That’s just a partial list, but it surely corroborates Gingrich’s point that Soros “paid for” the outcomes of those elections, notwithstanding Harf’s unsubstantiated denial. In 2018 The Los Angeles Times reported that Soros spent $2,700,000 on California DA races alone, and another $16 million on 17 DA races in other states. If you want to know what the next step is for Soros, it’s a continued expansion of funding for DA races, but also so much more. His recent pledge of $1 billion to endow a network of universities across the nation is part and parcel with his broader effort to promote his far-left ideology among impressionable young people. Soros calls this initiative “the most important project of my life.” That should deeply concern ordinary Americans everywhere, and perhaps even inspire a backlash of small-dollar donations to fight Soros’s pernicious influence. I believe that maintaining our freedoms and preserving the Constitution are two pillars of keeping America great, along with upholding the rule of law and properly educating our youth. Soros has a plan to systematically tear down those pillars, and we’re not supposed to talk about it. But we must, and we will. Read more here.
