Left Smears Ron DeSantis For Pointing Out The Truth About George Soros

Following the indictment of former President Donald Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized the “transparently partisan and un-American” actions of New York’s district attorney, Alvin Bragg, who is a “Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney.” This statement is indisputable because Soros indeed supports Bragg. DeSantis did not imply that Bragg was under the control of Soros, yet some have accused him of anti-Semitism.

Why would the governor of Florida, a state with a notable Jewish population, send anti-Semitic signals, as per Joe Scarborough on his show? There is no evidence to prove this claim. In reality, Governor DeSantis is a strong supporter of the Jewish community in Florida. The negative allegations being thrown around lack sincerity and negatively affect the real fight against anti-Semitism.

Soros, who disavows his Jewish identity and works against Jewish causes, is not a representative of Judaism, but of Progressive ideology. Soros finances leftist causes and campaign initiatives, including several appointed in different District Attorney’s offices since 2015. He has given millions of dollars to these campaigns, including DA Alvin Bragg. This information is not a secret and can be found in Soros’ Wall Street Journal column. Governor DeSantis was simply shedding light on Soros’ influence, and it is not anti-Semitic to do so.

The accusations of anti-Semitism are baseless political attacks. Soros has the right to fund whoever he wishes, and the public has the right to know where politicians receive their funding. It is reasonable to highlight these facts for the electorate to consider when examining the actions and decisions of elected officials. But, baseless claims of anti-Semitism detract from necessary conversations aimed at addressing actual anti-Semitic acts.
