According to a recent report, George Soros-backed organizations have invested $40 million over the past decade to support the election of 75 progressive prosecutors across the United States.
This funding has resulted in approximately one in five Americans now residing in areas covered by these criminal justice reformers, as reported by Your Content.
George Soros, a 91-year-old billionaire philanthropist, has been actively donating significant portions of his wealth through his foundation, Open Society Foundations, for the past 30 years. His networks have strategically supported left-leaning district attorneys nationwide by providing substantial financial resources during their campaigns.
Among the notable beneficiaries of this funding are George Gascon, the district attorney of Los Angeles, and Larry Krasner, the Philadelphia district attorney. However, the increasing crime rates observed in some of America’s largest cities have led to these prosecutors being criticized for their policies, as pointed out in the report.
Jason Johnson, president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF), a pro-police action group, expressed concern about the negative impact caused by these district attorneys. He stated that they have been quietly working to worsen the criminal justice system by endorsing dangerous policies and promoting anti-police narratives, according to FLIPBOARD.
