We remember when WorldNetDaily was incensed over “hate maps,” particularly after the 2012 shooting at the right-wing Family Research Center by Floyd Corkins, who allegedly found the FRC’s location on a map of hate groups at the Southern Poverty Law Center’s website — for instance, a 2015 article by Bob Unruh asserted that “Corkins used the computer to visit the Southern Poverty Law Center’s website, as well as the websites for the FRC and the second organization on his handwritten list.” in a 2017 column, Michael Brown falsely claimed that Corkins “found FRC’s address” on the SPLC map; as we noted at the time, the map just had a list of anti-gay groups and the city they are headquartered in. The implication, of course, was that the mere existence of such a map serves to incite violence against those people and organizations listed on it.
So it’s a bit of a surprise to see a Feb. 7 article by Unruh hyping a new map of targets — putout by an alleged law enforcement organization, no less:
In Chicago, it’s Kimberly Foxx and the dollar total is $2.8 million. In Orlando, Florida, it’s Monique Worrell and the dollar total is $1.8 million. In Los Angeles it’s George Gascon and the dollar total is $6 million.
These are just a few of the names – and dollar totals – of “pro-criminal and anti-police” prosecutors who have been hand-picked – and liberally funded by leftist billionaire George Soros.
It is the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund that has created and posted online its “Follow the Money: Mapping Soros Prosecutor Funding.”
The organization explains, “Over the past decade, billionaire George Soros has spent at least $50 million* to elect scores of ‘social justice’ prosecutors across the country. These district attorneys, who represent over 70 million people or more than 1 in 5 Americans, often pursue pro-criminal and anti-police policies. This report tracks Soros Prosecutors’ funding, affiliations, and actions.”
Those benefiting from Soros’ extreme left agenda include Stephanie Morales, Scott Colom, Kimberly Graham, Shalena Cook Jones, Jody Owens, Mike Schmidt, Brian Middleton, Diana Becton and many more.
They “prosecute” cases in most major cities, Portland, Ore., Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis, Jackson, Dallas, San Antonio, Orlando, Savannah, Philadelphia and more.
The website links to reports of various egregious situations that have developed, courtesy of Soros’ financial backing of extremists.
It appears that the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund has put out a hit list of prosecutors — which, based on the WND’s own definition of the SPLC list, can be used to target violent threats against those prosecutors. And there’s more to come, Unruh added:
“The first installment profiles 27 Soros-funded prosecutors, including Manhattan’s Alvin Bragg, Los Angeles’s George Gascon, Memphis’s Steve Mulroy, and Minneapolis’s Mary Moriarty. Future installments will include the more than 70 Soros-backed prosecutors across the United States. To date, George Soros has spent over $50 million to elect radical prosecutors from Maine to Oregon, Los Angeles to Savannah,” the organization told the Examiner.
Unruh made no mention of the SPLC’s very similar map and how it accused the map of inciting violence — or the irony of an organization supposedly dedicated to law enforcement putting out such a map.
