DeFascist referred to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as "Soros-funded". WTF ??

How is anyone listening to him supposed to believe that a democratically-elected public employee is "Soros-funded"? It's obviously meant as an anti-Semitic dog-whistle, except it's audible to everyone and at top volume. There's no veil to rip away, it's all naked bigotry.

Why doesn't deFascist just come right out and openly call him "Jewish-controlled"? He won't lose anyone who's following him now and it won't reveal him to his enemies; he's already made it clear who he is. The very thinly-coded language is superfluous.

Every pic of DeFascist needs a Photoshopped Hitler mustache.

I looked up “woke” in the Republican thesaurus and found “Soros-funded.” Glad that’s cleared up.

In 15 years, they will still be saying everything they don’t like has to be the fault of George Soros, whether the guy is still alive or not. Since NOTHING is ever their fault, and we don’t have ten immensely wealthy spigots of hot and cold running cash like they do, George Soros MUST be the cause of everything that ails them.

that he can slide into the Supreme Trump slot when the real thing receives everything he richly deserves. He's got to be careful not to show the dagger too soon, so he has to just give little air-kisses to the blessed buttocks without actually coming into contact.

So far as George Soros goes, hell, I thought it was common knowledge by now that he funds EVERYTHING that "George Santos" doesn't.
