Globalist financier George Soros has apparently ended his association with Chesa Boudin, the outgoing San Francisco district attorney who lost his reelection race in the face of rising crime and accusations that he used the office to achieve Soros’s agenda.
Now, according to the Washington Free Beacon, representatives from Soros contacted the outlet to request it discontinue referring to Boudin as a “Soros darling” or a “Soros prosecutor.”
“We disagree with any analysis that labels any prosecutor as a ‘Soros prosecutor’—each candidate stands on their own,” said a lawyer representing Soros through the firm BerlinRosen, according to the Free Beacon. “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 outlet reports that they received the request to discontinue using Soros’s name to describe Boudin only hours after he lost his recall election for San Francisco District Attorney. He received the job in 2019, and ultimately appears to have lost the job due to dissatisfaction among lower class and minority residents of the city.
This is technically true, however, Soros funds a wide network of liberal organizations that in turn raised more than $600,000 for the liberal’s reelection.
“Smart Justice California Action Fund donated almost $180,000 to oppose Boudin’s recall,” the Free Beacon reports. “The group received funding from the California Justice & Public Safety PAC, which was stood up in 2018 thanks to $3.65 million from Soros.” Another organization that supported Boudin received $30 million from Soros.
Fact checkers frequently require journalists to point out that Soros generally does not fund individuals or causes by writing checks directly, but through Soros’s wide network of political and apolitical not for profit organizations, including the Open Society Foundations.
Soros is not the only left-aligned billionaire to use non-profits and third parties to achieve political goals.
Earlier this year it was revealed that fellow controversial billionaire Bill Gates funded 11 of the 26 groups that signed a letter opposing Space X and Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s plan to buy Twitter.
The development came after Gates and Musk had a public spat when Gates bet against Tesla in the stock market, and Musk compared his physique to that of a pregnant man on Twitter.
