So… this is juicy.
We hear SO MUCH floating around about George Soros.
Basically, all leftist discord is attributed back to him… whether he does, in fact, have anything to do with it.
He’s been entirely lionized by conspiracy theorists who have no problem screaming SOROS about anything and everything.
Yes… he’s behind a lot, but do you ever stop to wonder if many on the right are giving him too much credit? Like… are we wrong to make him out to be some kind of all-powerful demon-creature?
It’s almost weird to see him do an interview, you know? There’s just so much intrigue around him, you forget he’s a human person.
At the end of the day… he’s just a man.
And interestingly… he’s not a huge fan of Obama’s.
New York billionaire George Soros said former President Barack Obama was his “greatest disappointment,” during a wide-ranging interview with the New York Times published on Tuesday, while also appearing to distance himself from partisan politics.
The wealthy liberal donor, who was an early supporter of Obama’s 2008 presidential run, told The Times that Obama was “actually my greatest disappointment,” before he was reportedly prompted by an aide to clarify that he was dissatisfied on a “professional level,” rather than with his presidency.
HAHA. Nice save, Georgie.
At another part of the interview, he told the paper that Obama “closed the door” on him after he secured the presidency.
“He made one phone call thanking me for my support, which was meant to last for five minutes, and I engaged him, and he had to spend another three minutes with me, so I dragged it out to eight minutes,” he said.
Soros told the paper that he had hoped to have been consulted on economic and financial issues, and that Obama was known to “take his supporters for granted and to woo his opponents.”
Iiiinteresting.
In a weird way, him saying this actually HELPS Obama…
There’s so much talk and general disdain about Soros, the idea that Obama shut him out of his presidency won’t be seen a negative by the right…and the left knows this.
He just did Obama a huge favor.
Then it gets… interesting.
Soros, who also poured millions of dollars into Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential run, wouldn’t say if he would back Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in the upcoming presidential election, but said when it comes to politics, “I don’t particularly want to be a Democrat.”
While speaking with The Times, Soros praised Arizona Sen. John McCain and said the main priority of his political activism was to promote bipartisanship – noting that Republicans on the far-right led him to become one of the top funders for the Democratic Party.
So… Soros is a bigger fan of McCain than he is of Obama.
That’s … awkward.
As far as his “far-right Republicans MAAAADE me a Democrat.”
Bullcrap. I’m not buying that at all.
But as Democrats set their eyes on November and the midterm election push to regain control of the House of Representatives, the long-term goal of ensuring a Democrat resides in the Oval Office in 2020 remains the party’s glaring concern – as well as where Soros will lend his financial support.
And then, in a SHOCKING moment… I actually AGREE WITH HIM.
I AGREE WITH GEORGE SOROS. I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD EVER HAPPEN.
Soros expressed displeasure with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., for her use of the #MeToo movement that led to the removal of Al Franken from Congress.
“She was using #MeToo to promote herself,” he told the paper.
Although neither Gillibrand nor her aides have confirmed or denied that she is going to make a presidential run, there are reports of extensive fundraising as well as her outreach to young people and communities of color that play well with one of the most serious anti-Trump voting records in the Senate.
I mean… he’s right. She totally did.
But I suppose he didn’t get to where he is being a complete idiot, huh.
Soros has contributed upwards of $15 million to support Democrats in the midterm elections, and told the paper for every Trump supporter “there is more than one Trump enemy who will be more intent, more determined.”
Yeah. That’s the Soros I’ve come to expect…
