Independent Committee Supporting Ellison Is Half Funded by Alexander Soros
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | October 22, 2018 2:55 pm | Todd Shepherd

Alexander Soros, the son of billionaire political activist George Soros, donated $100,000 to an independent expenditure committee intended to support Rep. Keith Ellison's bid to become attorney general of Minnesota, an amount that represents slightly less than half of all funds raised by the committee.

Although he does not give on the same scale as his father, Alexander Soros is still a significant donor to Democrat and progressive causes. The Washington Free Beacon reported in September that Alex had contributed almost $3 million to Democratic committees this election cycle.

Alex works as the deputy chair of the Open Society Foundations, a grant-making group that describes itself as working "to build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens." The Open Society Foundations, meanwhile, receives the bulk of its funding from George Soros.

The independent expenditure committee, calling itself the People's Lawyer PAC, has spent the bulk its funds on polling, some of which it has published on its website.

While the intent of the committee can not be known, publishing its own polling online appears to mirror tactics detailed in a report from Politico this June describing how independent expenditure committees and PACs can manage to legally coordinate with their candidate by publishing various media in the public domain, even though explicit coordination is supposed to be prohibited by law.

So one more Soros funded organization heavily supporting a black Muslim DemonRat with a history of assaulting women, who is running for the attorney general position in Minnesota?

Seems they have a habit of giving overwhelming support to Lefty candidates running for state attorney's general positions and even some select county prosecutors?

But I'm sure it's all perfectly innocent?/s

In 2014, [Soros]contributed an essay to the book God, Faith and Identity from the Ashes: Reflections of Children and Grandchildren of Holocaust Survivors.
Thereby winning the chutzpah champion of the year?
