George Soros Funds Groups Behind DNC Riot Where Protesters Assaulted Cops Chuck Ross
November 16, 2023
Progressive megadonor George Soros funds the anti-Israel groups behind a demonstration outside Democratic National Committee headquarters where six police officers were assaulted Wednesday night.
Protesters with IfNotNow, Jewish Voice for Peace, and the Democratic Socialists of America gathered outside the Democratic headquarters to pressure lawmakers to support a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. According to U.S. Capitol Police, six officers were assaulted, including some who were pepper-sprayed, when they tried to prevent demonstrators from blocking an exit from the building with a dumpster. Officers arrested one man, 24-year-old Ruben Camacho, who punched a female officer in the face.
"We have handled hundreds of peaceful protests, but last night's group was not peaceful," Capitol Police said in a statement.
Wednesday's violence could draw scrutiny for supporters of the left-wing groups, especially given the focus in recent years on assaults of Capitol Police officers on Jan. 6, 2021. Soros's philanthropy, Open Society Foundations, has given $650,000 to Jewish Voice for Peace since 2017 to fund the group's "human rights" work in the Middle East. Open Society awarded $400,000 to IfNotNow in 2019 and 2021, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
