US non-profits ‘lock arms’ amid Trump’s menacing of George Soros: ‘We will not be intimidated’

The US justice department has reportedly instructed US attorneys to come up with plans to investigate OSF as efforts to attack the left accelerate following the killing of rightwing commentator Charlie Kirk. In a presidential memo, Trump said the government needed to "investigate and disrupt networks, entities, and organizations that foment political violence", adding a comment that Soros was at "the top of everything". 

"We have always and will continue to adhere to our rigorous compliance practices and operate within the bounds of the law while also refusing to surrender our legal and constitutional rights to free speech, association, due process, and the rule of law without challenge," an OSF spokesperson said...

George Soros foundation hits back at Trump after report that DoJ plans to target group | George Soros | The Guardian

In a statement, the OSF described the effort as "meant to silence speech the administration disagrees with and undermine the first amendment right to free speech". 

 "The Open Society Foundations unequivocally condemn terrorism and do not fund terrorism. Our activities are peaceful and lawful, and our grantees are expected to abide by human rights principles and comply with the law," it said in a statement. 

 "When power is abused to take away the rights of some people, it puts the rights of all people at risk. Our work in the United States is solely dedicated to strengthening democracy and upholding constitutional freedoms. We stand by the work we do to improve lives in the United States and across the world."…

Democrats knock Johnson for suggesting George Soros behind campus protests | The Hill

That baseless argument fits a larger narrative long promoted in some conservative circles: that Soros has used his prodigious wealth to manipulate global events for the sole purpose of advancing personal interests.

The irony, the Democrats note, is that the Soros portrayal is, itself, a patent antisemitic trope. By suggesting Soros is fueling the university clashes, the Democrats contend, Johnson and other Republicans are promoting hostility against Jews in the name of fighting it…

George Soros responds to GOP attacks over Manhattan DA: 'I don't know him'

Soros told Semafor that he did not contribute any money to Bragg's campaign to become district attorney and does not know him. His response came as several members of the GOP have denounced Bragg as being backed and funded by Soros. 

"I think some on the right would rather focus on far-fetched conspiracy theories than on the serious charges against the former president," Soros said…

Donald Trump's allies have accused the district attorney bringing a case against him as having been "bought" by Mr. Soros, the philanthropist. That is misleading, though the men do have a financial connection...

PolitiFact | Soros’ alleged support of Black Lives Matter resurges on social media

… We found no evidence proving Soros or his foundation gave money directly to the Black Lives Matter organization. Previous reporting in 2015 and 2016 used the $33 million figure to refer to donations from the foundation to multiple groups involved with the cause of racial justice. The figure for Soros' Black Lives Matter support is not credible, so we rate this claim False. …

"We are seeing unparalleled threats to our country's democracy and a free press today—threats so grave that the long-running fight against misinformation seems almost quaint as we confront outright disinformation from people preying upon Americans fears and anxieties to push their own agenda or profit margins," Kreitlow said…

George Soros Breaks Silence on Right-Wing Conspiracies

... Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) harbors a strange obsession with Soros, even falsely claiming in 2016 that he was backing John Kasich for president. In August of this year, soon-to-be-former President Trump called in to Fox & Friends and alleged that Soros was funding antifa. And just last week, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich went on Fox News to accuse Soros of somehow stealing the presidential election from Trump...

Greg Abbott, Ted Cruz and Dan Patrick’s Obsession with George Soros is Weird and Kind of Dangerous

...All of this barely raises an eyebrow from political observers. Yet these serious politicians share their Soros obsession with some of the country's most cartoonish lunatics. Alex Jones recently told a jury at his child custody trial that Soros was behind a plot to make weed stronger as a population-control device. Alt-righter Augustus Sol Invictus (that's Latin for Majestic Unconquered Sun, mind you) led a rally in Austin with a chant of "Death to Soros." Meanwhile, one of the president's top allies, Roger Stone, is telling everyone he can that Soros is personally orchestrating a burgeoning deep-state coup to dethrone the president...
