Considering George Soros, Villain on the Right, Hero on the Left
By Jerry Kammer on November 5, 2018
George Soros, the billionaire who as a young boy in Hungary narrowly escaped the holocaust and whose emigration to England and the United States led him to establish an enormously successful hedge fund, has been in the news a lot lately.
Soros was a target of one of the pipe bombs that were shipped to multiple critics of President Trump. He remains the target of unsubstantiated claims that he has financed the migrant caravan that, to the delight of Republican political operatives, has become a symbol of rising public anxiety about uncontrolled immigration.
Such notoriety is nothing new for the 88-year-old Soros. Nor is it confined to his advocacy of expansive immigration policy in the United States.
In 2015, Hungarian President Viktor Orban bitterly accused Soros of attempting to undermine European nations by providing assistance to refugees fleeing the Middle East and Africa. "His name is perhaps the strongest example of those who support anything that changes the traditional European lifestyle," Orban said.
