Representatives for George Soros no longer want to be associated with disgraced prosecutor Chesa Boudin now that he's been rebuked by the liberal voters of San Francisco, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
Hours after Boudin was recalled by double-digits on Tuesday, representatives for the liberal billionaire contacted the Free Beacon to reject its characterization of Boudin as a "George Soros darling." The Soros representatives from public relations firm BerlinRosen say he never contributed to Boudin, and that it is wrong to label Boudin a "Soros prosecutor."
"We disagree with any analysis that labels any prosecutor as a ‘Soros prosecutor'—each candidate stands on their own," said the BerlinRosen representative. "Justice & Public Safety PAC, the political action committee through which Mr. Soros supports prosecutor candidates, has not supported—in the past or in the present, directly or indirectly—Boudin."
The Soros effort to distance the billionaire from Boudin came just hours after San Francisco voted the liberal prosecutor out of office. The recall election received nationwide attention and was viewed as a political rejection of radical criminal justice reform policies. Boudin's short tenure in San Francisco coincided with a spike in violent crime, as well as homelessness, public defecation, and looting.
The Free Beacon has characterized Boudin as a "Soros prosecutor" in the past and never received a correction request from the billionaire's representatives. This is likely because, while it is true that Soros has never directly contributed to his campaigns, Boudin is one of Soros's favorite prosecutors. The Soros-funded group Fair and Just Prosecution, for example, has Boudin featured in its "meet the movement" section.
Soros additionally funds a network of liberal organizations that raised Boudin more than $600,000 for his election, according to the Washington Times, and contributed directly to groups fighting to oppose his recall.
Smart Justice California Action Fund donated almost $180,000 to oppose Boudin's recall. The group received funding from the California Justice & Public Safety PAC, which was stood up in 2018 thanks to $3.65 million from Soros.
Fair and Just Prosecution, the group that features Boudin as a face of its movement, is funded by the Tides Center, which received more than $30 million from Soros's Open Society Foundation between 2016 and 2020. The liberal justice reform group has hosted conferences that feature its favored prosecutors. Boudin attended one of those conferences in December and stood shoulder to shoulder for a group picture with district attorneys that have received direct funding from Soros, including Philadelphia district attorney Larry Krasner and Los Angeles district attorney George Gascon.
The Soros representatives contended that having ties to his massive network of political organizations doesn't mean a prosecutor is affiliated with the Democratic megadonor.
"Our disagreement is particularly strong when the [Soros prosecutor] label is applied to an elected official who participates in an event or an organization that has a second or third degree association with Mr. Soros," said representative Alex Navarro-McKay. "Candidate X joins Org A which gets funding from Org B which gets from Donor C? Bluntly, it's a ridiculous contortion."
Soros has developed a political network that is designed to hide direct connections between groups and donors. He is a founding member of the Democracy Alliance, which uses secret meetings to direct funding from its millionaire and billionaire members to a select number of organizations selected by leadership. All of the donations, however, are made by individual members rather than the Democracy Alliance as a whole, which hides the sum of money being directed.
The BerlinRosen representatives declined to provide further comment on Soros's opinion of Boudin.
So I guess not ALL of Soros’ Evil Plots come to full fruition, but unfortunately he has a pretty good track record. Evil POS.
Why DOES Evil have such a long Shelf Life?
This sounds a little like what they did to people in Oceania in 1984 who were simply eliminated and their names were scrubbed away from books or newspapers and related things.
Soros cadre gaslighting contributes to climate change.
What - did anyone expect Soros to be honest?
A rejection of one of these ‘criminal huggers’ is also a rejection of Soros. That’s good. It’s good Soros knows it - it’s good he feels shame.
Anybody who works for George Soros finds out real fast he only hires whores who put out he pays.
Kind of like most congressmen
Getting rid of one single Global Marxist tool in one city will barely dent the vast shadowy plot to liquidate the middle class and re-impose the New Feudalism on the world, of which Soros is one of the prime movers.
“We disagree with any analysis that labels any prosecutor as a ‘Soros prosecutor’—each candidate stands on their own,” said the BerlinRosen representative. “Justice & Public Safety PAC, the political action committee through which Mr. Soros supports prosecutor candidates, has not supported—in the past or in the present, directly or indirectly—Boudin.”
...and there is no mafia. Ok.
Because nobody was paying attention to DA races. Everyone was focused on the up-ballot races and he could sneak his marxist candidates in under the radar.
We eventually caught on.
Exactly! Chesa is a brownshirt who just experienced his Night of the Long Knives.
George Soros is the John Galt of American politics. He gives the people what they want, and watches them crash and burn.
“—it’s good he feels shame”
I think that is a streatch to say he feel shame. Soros’ history clearly indicates he knows no and feel no shame. That is attributing a humal characteristic to someone who is a monster.
So Soros abandons his foot soldiers when they take one for the team? Never saw that coming. I think we should establish the Ernst Rohm martyrdom award for these pukes.
Sociopaths like Soros are always happy to stab their “friends” in the back when they are no longer useful tools.
Hope this pisses off Boudin enough so that he rats out a bunch of people. Of course, he’d have to develop eyes in the back of his head for the rest of his probably short life.
Wow, I did not know anyone outside FR knew Free Beacon existed.
“No affiliation”…. Never believe anything till it is officially denied!
