George Soros is funding almost all of Matt Dugan’s campaign for Allegheny County (PA) DA

Billionaire liberal donor George Soros is the sole contributor to an outside political group financing most of Democrat Matt Dugan’s run for Allegheny County district attorney, a new financial filing shows.

The Pennsylvania Justice and Public Safety PAC listed Mr. Soros as its only donor in a campaign finance report released Tuesday. Based in New York City, the philanthropist, financier and activist has backed progressive candidates in local races for prosecutor across the country, including Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner.

While he is often only one source of funding for groups that in turn help finance candidates, the extent of his support for Mr. Dugan’s campaign — while entirely legal — is less common.

Mr. Soros gave $759,000 to the Pennsylvania-registered PAC on March 27, according to the report filed Friday with the county Elections Division, which covers the group’s activity from March 8 through May 1.

Mr. Soros, often a target of anti-Semitic attacks and a bogeyman for the right, has defended his involvement in races for prosecutor. His support for reform-minded prosecutors is transparent, he wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed last year, and “I have no intention of stopping.”

Satan can only protect his minions for so long. Soros will run out of time eventually.

ALL campaign and PAC and other campaign contributions should be capped at 10k/cycle for everyone.

Allegheny County used to be where these types dare not tread. Pike, Lackawanna, Wayne, Lancaster, Berks, all were full of honest folks that valued simple truth and individual liberties 🗽. Real “leave me the heck alone” types.

Calling Soros a philanthropist is like calling a child molester an advocate for children.

Opposition commercial could just be a short 15 seconds of Soros cackling maniacally. AI generated if necessary.

Soros is actually a euphemism for the Soros foundation that will live long after the evil bastard is worm food.
