Since 2015, multi-billionaire political activist George Soros has been using PACs to fund campaigns for candidates to be chief prosecutors of various localities of the USA. These are candidates who advocate “progressive prosecution,” a radical ideology rooted in Marxist and Intersectionality theories.
Progressive prosecution means that the prosecutor should take an active role in reducing the number of incarcerated people. This reduction is generally focused on specific categories of individuals based on Intersectionality theory. So instead of saying “I will be a fair and just prosecutor by treating everyone the same,” they flip this on its head by saying “I will be a fair and just prosecutor by treating people differently based on things like race, gender, class, religion, and other factors.”
George Soros funds the political campaigns of prosecutors through multiple political action committees [PAC]. There is the national Justice and Public Safety PAC, along with a multitude of state-registered PACs with slightly different names. Then there are more PACs that are jointly funded by Soros and other wealthy activists. Here at National Conservative, we believe that “progressive prosecution” is a dangerous ideology, with severe consequences.
Fans of George Soros will argue that his money is “leveling the playing field” for underdogs. However, the amount of money spent by Soros-funded PACs is often more than the total money raised by any other candidate in the race. This allows candidates backed by Soros to dominate in advertising. Many would argue that this is a complete subversion of democracy.
