The George Soros Defense Strategy Implicates the Very People Using It

Recall a couple of months back when Ben Collins was not seen posting inaccurate and hilariously misguided articles? Well, thankfully, that suspension is over, so he is back to his expected screwball efforts. Here he tries defending George Soros and Bragg by stipulating that there is no way the billionaire can be said to be backing the DA – the men have never met!

Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Ron DeSantis have all claimed Alvin Bragg is "Soros-backed" or aligned since the news of the indictment dropped.

In reality, Soros has “has never met or spoken to Alvin Bragg,” according to a CNBC story from last week.https://t.co/UoCI1R1B4o

The best is that in the article Collins provides for his "proof," we get a full explanation that Soros has backed up Bragg with a copious $1 million campaign donation. I guess we were in error for actually reading the piece that Ben gave us for his claim:

Most of the criticism of Bragg appears to stem from support, and later political pressure, he received from the racial justice group Color of Change, which tries to influence government and corporate policy around the country. Soros donated $1 million to the Color of Change PAC in 2021. The Soros-funded Open Society Policy Center also piled $7 million into the group’s separate 501(c)(4) arm that year.

• We'll just assume then that not EVERYONE bringing this up is a hateful Nazi.

Joining in the reflexive Soro defense mechanism was Joy Reid. Yes, we know she is in default racist mode every single night, and her quotidian quest to undermine Ron DeSantis is also a given, so it is understandable the crank-baiter would rush headlong into detailing yet again her claims of the Florida governor being racist.

But notable here is Joy being so automatic in her charge that she not only steps on a rake, she uses it as a pogo stick. See, when you resort to charging bigotry in the case of a core fact backed up not only with evidence but has been widely reported, you end up accusing those who reported those facts of being guilty at an equal level, Joy.

Annnnnnnddd - here comes the hilarity.
More than a tweet, it has been reported that George Soros financially backed Alvin Bragg.
That report came from...(wait for it)...@NBCNews.

Congratulations @JoyAnnReid, you just called your own network anti-Semitic.https://t.co/cdhZiihrbl https://t.co/SoYTsYm4I3 pic.twitter.com/q4jPriSN4F

• Anyone talking like her is an anti-Semite. Just…not her.

What would a flurry of un-self-aware hysteria be without a visit from the perpetually oblivious Jennifer Rubin? Of course, Jenn had to join the chorus of finger-pointing journos, and of course, she was tripped up by contradictory comments. But, this being the un-esteemed Ms. Rubin, of course, she had to give it a trademarked spin by being contradicted by her own quotes about the man.

Rightwing's repetitive reference to Holocaust survivor George Soros as controlling certain prosecutors or the Dem Party is the sort of normalization of anti-Semitism that shouldn't be tolerated.

There is a reason we have a special Rubin Honor in our coverage of the fractured Pulitzer Prize nominees. She is in an elevated class by herself in this regard.

ATTENTION THOSE ON THE RIGHT:
According to Jenniffer Rubin you have been deemed an anti-Semitic bigot if you dared to speak about George Soros in the same fashion as Jennifer Rubin. https://t.co/vj5GzHgAcs pic.twitter.com/yTSJDNzkfo

Reporting on the Mirror – WASHINGTON POST

• "Sure, this is disturbing commentary, but note my heroic bravery while being sociopathic."

One of the more disturbing acts from the press in the wake of the Nashville shooting has been ignoring those souls murdered on Monday and instead claiming victimhood for the trans community. Taking this mentality to its nadir is the Washington Post, which not only casts that side in a sympathetic light but actually attacks anyone pointing out the fact that the killer was a trans individual.

Making this all the more disturbing is the proud manner they removed the paywall for this agitprop, as the writer stakes out a claim of bold heroism for doing so.

We've dropped the paywall on this important story about intensifying rhetoric against a marginalized community. I will not be intimidated for reporting this reality. https://t.co/QrSp8DOjJ3

• Why is it the public cannot see the same level of grace in a child murderer that we can?!

After three attempts at promoting it, the Daily Mirror eventually came to the realization that possibly looking at the Nashville shooter with a less-than-critical approach was the wrong way to go. Nonetheless, you have to wonder just what would possess an outlet to consider the person killing three children to be a "whimsical" artist with a "childlike" vision.

• Probably a good idea not to anger the violent mob.

As the state house in Tennessee was going through its legislative process, the state capitol was overrun by a mob of pro-trans protestors, who occupied the building and even disrupted the proceedings in the chamber.

Local reporter Kelsey Gibbs first reported on the mayhem but then removed her first impressions and decided to go with the supremely mockable version declaring the uproarious mob as "mostly peaceful." Probably a wise choice. You wouldn't want to anger this group, after all.

I deleted the last tweet because I wasn’t as clear. This was a peaceful protest. Students, parents and their supporters went through Capitol security to lobby for gun control in the Capitol. No one was arrested. This shoving started when THP needed to make way for lawmakers. pic.twitter.com/o4GApyKdt4
