George Soros just suffered a massive fail in California in his attempt to reshape the American criminal justice system:
New York billionaire George Soros multimillion-dollar effort to reshape Californias criminal justice system by propping up progressive district attorney candidates backfired Tuesday, with most of his candidates suffering major defeats.
Soros, together with other wealthy liberal donors and groups, spent millions on would-be prosecutors who favor lower incarceration rates, crackdowns on police misconduct and changes in a bail system that they argue discriminates against the poor.
But most of the money went to waste as their candidates lost to more traditional law-and-order prosecutors who didnt share progressive views or have hostile attitudes toward police.
District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert defeated Soros-backed candidate Noah Phillips by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, getting 65 percent of the vote in Sacramento County. (Schubert for DA)
In Sacramento County, District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert defeated Noah Phillips by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, getting 65 percent of the vote. Phillips led an insurgent campaign, attacking Schubert for failing to prosecute a police officer who shot a civilian.
He reportedly received around $400,000 from Soros and admitted Soros team scripted and paid for a TV ad during the campaign, the Los Angeles Times reported. His fundraising efforts received help from Cari Tuna, wife of Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, who contributed more than $650,000 to a political action committee led by Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King.
This is a good day for the people, Schubert told to a crowd of about 100 supporters after she won the election, the Sacramento Bee reported. You cant buy an election in the county of Sacramento. Heres to four more years.
Geneviéve Jones-Wright, the Soros-favored candidate in San Diego County, also suffered a major defeat Tuesday. She got only 36 percent of the vote while her opponent, District Attorney Summer Stephan, received more than 60 percent.
Soros spent more than $1.5 million in the race, funneling the money to a political action committee that propped up Jones-Wrights candidacy as she pledged to form a police-misconduct unit and supported progressive reform of the criminal justice system.
Stephan fought back against the influence of outside money in the race, declaring Soros backing a public safety threat. Jones-Wright, meanwhile, insisted the money merely gave a voice to minorities and poor people.
In Alameda County, in the San Francisco Bay Area, District Attorney Nancy OMalley fended off a challenge from Pamela Price, reportedly receiving more than 60 percent of the vote.
District Attorney Summer Stephan received over 60 percent of the vote on Tuesday, defeating Soros-favored Geneviéve Jones-Wright in San Diego County.
OMalley said she was surprised the outside donors tried to oust her, given that shes a registered Democrat and was endorsed by U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., organized labor and other Democratic groups.
Soros PAC accused OMalley during the campaign of implementing racist stop-and-frisk policies and Price criticized her for being cozy with law enforcement groups.
Bad news for Geroge Soros is good news for America!
Thank goodness the voters, even in a failed socialist state like California, have enough good sense to reject this.
Please let me pull the trigger on this POS
