Liberal billionaire George Soros is on pace to double his 2016 election spending as he works to oust President Donald Trump, public records show.
Elections have gotten so cynical, so jaded and corrupt that it almost wouldn't feel right if George Soros wasn't right there in the mix, funneling untold millions of dollars through his NGO front organizations to buy votes, buy loyalties and illegally attempt to sway the outcome. But what do you really expect from the man who was born a Jew, then
sided with the Nazis as a teenager, laughing as his friends and neighbors got carted off to Auschwitz.
2020 is not like 2016, the stakes are much higher, and the enemies of Trump are highly energized and extremely organized. Last time, they took for granted that Hillary would win, when she didn't they had a mental breakdown. Now they stand ready to throw everything at Trump, up to and including, I believe, an assassination attempt if all other efforts to vanquish him are unsuccessful. November will not just be tough, and rancorous, and full of the usual spite and malice. I thinking that come November, there will be blood.
Soros Set to Double 2016 Spending, Pouring $40 Million Into Super PAC
FROM FREE BEACON: Soros's big investments in the 2020 race have gone into the coffers of the Democracy PAC, a super PAC that passes money to other liberal PACs working to defeat Trump and congressional Republicans. The super PAC has received
$40 million—
double the $20 million Soros spent on Democratic efforts during the 2016 election cycle—from both Soros and a nonprofit in his sprawling network.
The megadonor's torrent of spending highlights the extent to which liberal donors are committed to getting Trump out of office. Many groups financially backed by Soros have launched multimillion-dollar attack ad campaigns in swing states to reach moderate voters who backed Trump in 2016. A network of liberal donors, including Soros, has pledged hundreds of millions on 2020 election efforts.
IN HIS POCKET: CROOKED HILLARY RECEIVED $25 MILLION FROM NWO PUPPET MASTER GEORGE SOROS IN 2016
Republicans have noted that many Democratic candidates who lambaste big money in politics benefit from the billionaire's cash. "While Democrats across the country sanctimoniously rail against the influence of dark money in politics, their party’s largest donors are bankrolling a massive web of liberal organizations to get them elected," one operative said. "George Soros's unprecedented spending further highlights just how dependent Democrats are on contributions from billionaires, despite their hypocritical rhetoric."
George Soros has directly provided
$5.5 million to his super PAC. Another $35 million came from his Fund for Policy Reform, a nonprofit in his Open Society Foundations network that reported having $750 million in the bank on its most recent tax forms. This arrangement allows Soros to keep his name from the top of lists highlighting the
biggest donors to political committees while he gives tens of millions indirectly. Factoring in the money from the nonprofit, Soros's election spending eclipses that of any right-leaning donor this cycle. It also puts him on par with fellow liberal billionaire Tom Steyer, who has pumped $40 million into 2020 elections and is
ranked as the largest donor this cycle.
Democracy PAC has so far pushed $25 million to other liberal PACs. Its biggest expenditures include a
$7 million donation to the Senate Majority PAC, a committee tied to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.);
$5 million to Priorities USA Action, the largest outside pro-Biden PAC; and
$2.5 million to the left-wing Win Justice coalition. Democracy PAC has also
spent big on state campaigns and passed money to another Soros PAC focused on electing far-left prosecutors.
Many of the groups that receive money from Soros are top spenders backing massive anti-Trump campaigns. Priorities USA is the biggest outside spender this cycle,
according to the Center for Responsive Politics, having spent more than $28 million. Its efforts include anti-Trump advertisements
focused on criticizing the president's response to the coronavirus pandemic in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
George Soros also sent $2 million to committees directly, without passing the contributions through his PAC. These donations
include $500,000 to the Democratic Grassroots Victory Fund—a joint fundraising committee
between the DNC, all 50 state Democratic parties, and the District of Columbia Democratic committee. He sent hundreds of thousands more to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D., Calif.) victory fund, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and other Democratic committees. George Soros's donations to PACs and committees contribute to a $275 million election-spending plan outlined by a liberal donor network the financier cofounded. Confidential
documents from the Democracy Alliance show these plans include funding numerous state-based initiatives, including year-round organizing in Arizona, Florida, Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, and Virginia. The donor club has pushed more than $1.83 billion into progressive infrastructure since its founding in 2005, its documents state.
