The Media Research Center’s war on George Soros continued apace as the new year wears on. Joseph Vazquez ranted that a Soros-funded group sought to ensure more diverse representation on the DOGE office in a Jan. 21 post:
Another piece to the puzzle was added after news broke that the machine run by leftist billionaire George Soros was suing President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
MRC Business discovered that another radical group financed by Soros, Public Citizen, requested January 13 for its co-presidents to be appointed to DOGE, which is being led by X owner Elon Musk. Public Citizen virtue signaled over “concerns about DOGE’s structure and mission. In structure, an advisory committee led by individuals such as Musk and former DOGE leader Vivek Ramaswamy over dubious allegations of conflict of interest.
In short, Public Citizen (founded by leftist Ralph Nader in 1971) sought to steer DOGE away from solely focusing on its founding principle to slash bureaucracy and instead be reengineered to include consideration on “more efficiently regulating corporations” to supposedly protect consumers. They’re for cutting spending — if it’s defense spending and oil subsidies. Soros fueled $6,096,003 collectively into Public Citizen and its Foundation between 2016 and 2023 alone.
[…]Just days later, on Inauguration Day, another leftist pro-censorship group financed by Soros called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), would launch a lawsuit along with the radical American Federation of Teachers against DOGE just moments after Trump took office. The reason, according to The Times, was alleged violation of “laws that require federal advisory committees to be open to the public and to include a diversity of viewpoints.” Hmm, that’s kind of like what the radical Soros-funded, pro-regulation Public Citizen would bring to the table, right? It makes sense, given that Public Citizen would file its own lawsuit against DOGE with other leftist cohorts on Inauguration Day along similar lines too.
Vazquez didn’t explain why DOGE should be so afraid of more diverse representation, aside of admitting that “Public Citizen, in its request, was effectively asking to stifle the very reason why DOGE was established in the first place by being the ‘voices’ for those who ‘benefit’ from federal regulations and spending programs.”
Tom Olohan was still going on about Soros interests being allowed to buy a group of radio stations in a Jan. 23 post:
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) issued a sharp rebuke to former President Joe Biden and his Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for an outrageous decision that benefited Biden’s billionaire donor, George Soros.
During a speech on the Senate floor on Tuesday, Kennedy cited the Media Research Center to break down how the Biden-led FCC improperly fast-tracked Soros’s foreign-backed takeover of hundreds of radio stations. The MRC had repeatedly urged the FCC to properly vet the purchase rather than offering Soros an unprecedented favor by waiving the required review.
Vazquez was mad that people are still trying to hold the violent Capitol riot protesters accountable in another Jan. 23 post:
One of the radicalized district attorneys backed and controlled by the George Soros empire is looking to undermine President Donald Trump’s pardon of January 6 defendants.
Leftist Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner is reportedly “exploring filing state charges against convicted January 6 rioters who were” pardoned by Trump, reported CNN on January 21.
CNN — which has exhibited an acute obsession with the riot on January 6 throughout the Biden presidency — gleefully celebrated that Krasner’s antics “are the first indication that state and local law enforcement officials might try to push back against Trump’s mass clemency for his supporters who stormed the US Capitol in 2021.”
It sounds like another indicator that the Soros legal machine is preparing for war with the Trump administration. Soros-financed groups reportedly poured $1.7 million on behalf of Krasner’s initial bid for office in 2017 and another $1.3 million for his reelection bid.
We thought the MRC hated it when criminals were allowed to go free and weren’t held accountable for their behavior.
Vazquez devoted a Feb. 7 post to whining that Soros financially supports the causes he believes in, just like right-wing billionaires do:
One of the prominent Soros-backed groups uncovered in the report setting the agenda for the prosecutors, Fair and Just Prosecution, is a project of the leftist Tides Center, which the report noted had received at least $14 million between 2016 and 2022 from Soros, including a $10,000 grant Soros directly gave to FJP through Tides.
But it turns out Soros funneled much more than that into Tides Center’s coffers. The Open Society Foundations database only permits users to view grant records as far back as 2016, which means any funding prior to that year is obscured. MRC Business researchers then searched through Foundation Directory Online, another database which includes data on grants given and received by philanthropic organizations based on 990 tax filings. After manually compiling the data, MRC found that Soros actually gave at least $36.8 million total between 2003 and 2023. That now brings the total he’s spent on groups that would end up working to direct and control his 126 radicalized prosecutors across the U.S. to at least $140,228,678. This includes the now-adjusted $100,228,678 he poured into the 20 nonprofits controlling his prosecutors in addition to the $40 million he spent getting his prosecutors elected in the first place.
Spending $140 million just to further a leftist political agenda should shock the conscience.
Right-wing billiionaires spend at least that much supporting their preferred causes, but Vazquez doesn’t find that shocking. He concluded by ranting:
It’s no wonder then why Biden would cap off his tumultuous term as president by giving Soros with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The Soros empire is a dark monolith that every American who cares about the American justice system should be wary of. Soros’s career is marked by using his fortune to turn American society on its head, and the halls of government, including USAID, are just a few of the many vehicles he uses to do it.
We’ve already documented the MRC’s meltdown over Soros receiving the Medal of Freedom.
