This Has Republicans Furious at George Soros
George Soros Donates $700,000 to John Kasich
George Soros is pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into Republican primary contender John Kasich’s campaign, outraging conservative voters and pundits.
According to a report from The Daily Wire, Soros Fund Management has donated $202,700 to Governor Kasich’s presidential campaign. Scott Beset, who served as George Soros’ chief investment manager until late 2015, donated $200,000. Stanley Drukenmiller, who currently manages $2.0 billion of Soros’ hedge funds, has also been a large benefactor. (Source: “Soros Has Given Kasich $700,000. Why?”The Daily Wire, March 21, 2016.)
In total, George Soros, personally and through surrogates, has donated more than $700,000 to Governor John Kasich’s campaign. The disclosure has outraged conservative voices that have long been skeptical of Soros’ influence in American politics. Republican media outlets, including Breitbart, Glen Beck, and Life Site News, criticized Kasich’s decision to accept donations from the billionaire investor.
The move is likely part of George Soros’ broader push to open American borders. In 2013, CBS reported Soros’ Open Society Foundation had given $100 million to “immigrant rights” projects. He has been a major benefactor for groups like Amnesty International, Immigration Equality, and the Immigrant Legal Resource Center.
