Donald Trump and other Republicans have referred to Alvin Bragg as a “Soros-backed” prosecutor in Manhattan, but NBC News’ “dystopian beat” reporter Ben Collins says that’s just not true. Why? Because Bragg has apparently never met Soros in person:
However, the story itself dumps cold water all over that brand of proof Bragg isn’t Soros-backed:
But they’ve never met!
Most of the criticism of Bragg appears to stem from support, and later political pressure, he received from the racial justice group Color of Change, which tries to influence government and corporate policy around the country. Soros donated $1 million to the Color of Change PAC in 2021. The Soros-funded Open Society Policy Center also piled $7 million into the group’s separate 501(c)(4) arm that year.
Yet, those familiar with the contributions said that the money the billionaire and his organization gave to Color of Change was not earmarked to back Bragg’s campaign, or intended to be used in an effort to pressure the DA.
It’s just “journalism” doing it’s thing again:
Truer words were never spoken — or tweeted in this case.
It’s like saying somebody doesn’t back Big Macs because they’ve never met the CEO of Mcdonald’s.
No kidding!
As usual the media’s reporting “rules” will be different when it comes to Republicans.
