Pro-Abortion Billionaire George Soros Spending Millions to Defeat Brett Kavanaugh
Life News ^ | Jul 16, 2018 | Kevin Daley and Andrew Kerr

A new political advocacy group that vowed to put $5 million behind an effort to stop Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court has significant ties to the liberal financier George Soros.

A Daily Caller News Foundation review has found that the group’s primary financial supporter is a nonprofit to whom Soros has given millions.

The group, Demand Justice (DJ), is organized and financed by a 501(c)(4) called the Sixteen Thirty Fund, which collected some $2.2 million in contributions from the Open Society Policy Center (OSPC), one of Soros’ primary donation vehicles, between 2012 and 2016.

The Soros Connection

The Fund is largely financed by a handful of donors. Financial statements filed with state oversight officials in 2014 show just three contributors accounted for 70 percent — or some $11.5 million — of the Fund’s total donations and grant revenue. Disclosure forms filed with the same agency in 2016 present similar facts. Fewer than five donors gave $13.3 million to the Fund, representing 63 percent of their donations.

The Soros controlled group will put $5 million dollars behind a multi-platform effort to stop Kavanaugh’s confirmation. The campaign will feature television spots promoting embattled Democratic Senate incumbents in West Virginia, Indiana, and North Dakota, who face competitive Republican challengers this November.

They will also run ads in Maine and Alaska, urging GOP Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski to oppose the nomination.

If Putin’s goons can’t snuff soreass by now, then I doubt they had .0001% influence on the elections.

The Media and Ad companies get the money.

The Media is the opposition.

At first I wondered why Putin hasn’t given Soros a Novachik cocktail, but then I realized - Russia simply banned him and his corrupt NGOs, and at the same time Soros single-handedly is doing more to destroy civil-society and culture in the West than almost anybody. So why would Russia or China now want to stop him?

I bet this is more about funneling money to certain groups and people than it is about defeat the SCOTUS nominee.

If Soros dropped dead this second; the world would be a far far better place to live.

Trump should negotiate a one time extradition treaty with Russia.

Putin must detest Soros so it should be a done deal. The problem would be our State Dept.

This makes me feel great about President Trump’s choice of Bret Kavanaugh. I’d have really worried if the usual Leftist screech monkeys didn’t have a giant meltdown.

Unfortunately his heirs (sons) are as bad or worse than he is.....nothing will change if he dies.....

Talk about Russian meddling in our elections, why is the left so quiet about George Soros? He is Russian. He is a communist. He is meddling constantly in our elections.
