President Donald Trump‘s lawyer Rudy Giuliani retweeted a call to freeze the assets of billionaire investor George Soros on Saturday.

Giuliani’s tweet comes as Trump — perhaps inspired by Fox News host Maria Bartiromo — promotes the conspiracy theory that anti-Brett Kavanaugh protestors are paid operatives of Soros, a longtime boogeyman of right wing conspiracists.

“Follow the money. I think Soros is the anti-Christ! He must go! Freeze his assets & I bet the protests stop,” Twitter user Dee Thompson wrote in a post retweeted by the president’s lawyer.



On Friday, Trump tweeted that the sexual assault victims that confronted Sen. Jeff Flake this week were “paid professionals” funded by Soros. There’s no evidence that Soros, a Democratic donor, paid for the protestors’ signs. As NBC News reported, one of the protestors “works for the Center for Popular Democracy, which gets some of its funding from the Open Society Foundation, which is, in turn, backed by Soros.”

Much of the conspiracy theorizing about Soros, a Holocaust survivor, is rooted in anti-Semitism.

1. rudy's got to stop eating paint chips

[Bfd]

4. LOL.

[Meadowoak]

2. How about we freeze trumps assets, if he has any!

[bitterross]

17. Seems like NY state ought to be getting close on that.

I though the same thing you did. With the report from the NY Times his assets should be frozen by the state of NY.

I hope after the mid-terms there can be some investigations about this.

[Meadowoak]

22. Won't Gamble v. United States stop NY from taking action?

[onetexan]

24. Was thinking exactly that

NY AG had better hurry

[BumRushDaShow]

27. There is so much wrong-doing that there might be little overlap between state & federal charges. nt

[displacedtexan]

56. Gamble only addresses double jeopardy (dual charges in both fed & state)

Could be the reason Mueller has turned several cases over to individual states. No fed charges means no double jeopardy, and Trump can't pardon state charges.

[shraby]

3. Rudy needs to go find his rock. The one he crawled out from under.

[saidsimplesimon]

5. I love you George Soros.

Keep up the great work, he must be doing something to get into ruditooties' poisoned head.

[ancianita]

11. Nope. He's not. They're just making this shit up as part of their "both sides do it" propaganda.

[Downtown Hound]

12. He's one of the few billionaires that doesn't give to Repukes

And gives to Dems. Republicans feel as though God granted them the right to all billionaires. And of course it's okay when the Kocks give to the right and practically fund the Tea Party. But not okay that Soros gives to the left.

[saidsimplesimon]

14. Mr. Soros has also

made contributions to Move-On and we know how rumpie and his followers attack protesters.

[ancianita]

19. And not that much, either, comparatively speaking.

[Downtown Hound]

21. Not that much, what are you talking about?

He has personally funded every left wing protest that ever happened, every left wing movement that ever happened, every liberal that's ever run for office, and every conservative scandal that has ever happened has been because of him.

I know, because Jesus and Alex Jones told me so.

[Progressive Jones]

29. You left out Obama and The Clintons. nt

[ancianita]

49. Soros does not give as much to Dems compared to the Kochs' funding

of all things Republican.

As for the rest of your post, what are you taking about?

[Downtown Hound]

50. LOL. Sorry, its a joke.

I'm well aware that in the grand scheme of things, Soros is relatively insignificant. I'm just poking fun at conservatives who always accuse him of being this bogeyman mastermind behind every left wing event or right wing mishap that's ever happened.

[LiberalLovinLug]

30. That's it exactly

He sets a dangerous precedent as well. Billionaires are supposed to be greedy, corruptible, and focused 24/7 on making more money. And if they want to spend any of their cash on political causes, it must go to them. (And in turn they will help them make more by reducing their taxes and regulations) Or they will surround and isolate the usurper and create a monster out of him.

Especially when a billionaire doesn't just limit his funding to Democrats. D's do get corporate cash from others. He funds movements outside of that in the global arena. Its that he is also passionate about spreading democracy around the world. He funds causes that forward those goals. He is so hated because he is the financial backing to many democracy pushers in countries that don't have it. Countries that many wealthy Republicans and their peers have investments in, and count on continued governance by authoritarian regimes to keep the underpaid workers in line, so as not to mess with the gravy train. That's the real reason they hate him so much.

6. Can we freeze Rudy's brain until we find a cure for

stupidity?

[dalton99a]

7. Yeah, it's time to identify and confiscate their assets

[ancianita]

10. Yep. After Nov 6, we can put it on the top of the priority list as, "Take money out of politics."

[Ccarmona]

25. Exactly

We can laugh and chortle at Rudy’s musings, but my Grandfather’s assets were confiscated by the Third Reich. The last of his belongings were stolen by Mussolini as he was fleeing Germany after bribing his way out of Germany through Italy. This is dangerous shit.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Rudy used to be a federal prosecutor, and unless he's been huffing paint lately

he knows there's no legal basis for any such thing. More likely he's just tossing red meat to the dumb rubes who watch Fox.

[Progressive Jones]

31. Without dumb rubes there is no GOP.

The corporatocracy types would still be around, but the GOP would be miniscule without those who've been conned into hating the rest of the American people.

[ancianita]

9. Let them. THEN they'll see what a lie "follow the money" is, as the protestors keep growing.

[NCjack]

13. Freeze Trumps assets until he pays the taxes he defrauded

the IRS and repays the rent money he stole from his poor tenants.

[pangaia]

15. Soros? WHAT? No Way!! It's Hillary. EVERYBODY knows that.

Freeze her assets and Bill's while you at it.
Lock 'em up.

[Grassy Knoll]

16. Whaaaaa Whaaaa Whaaaa

[keithbvadu2]

18. Unlike evangelical hero Trump who ridicules holy communion.

[appalachiablue]

20. George Soros wasn't inolved & is nothing like the Koch Bros.

[JudyM]

41. That link should be tweeted back at Giuliani, trump and their cronies incessantly.

Wonder if that qualifies as slander...

[muriel_volestrangler]

23. Calling a Jew "the anti-Christ"? Wow, that's not a dog whistle, it's a klaxon

He might as well have talked about the Protocols.

[JudyM]

40. It's disgustingly so... and he can hardly claim it was an oversight.

[rickyhall]

26. Let's just freeze Rudy.

Not his stolen assets, him.

[Funtatlaguy]

28. How bout this deal. We trade Soros money for Adelsons, Koch's and Mercer's.

[mountain grammy]

32. Listen to this! Not a laughing matter.

not a joke.

[LudwigPastorius]

33. Just another example of the GOP coming out as what they've always been:

In at least five state and national races across the country, the Republican Party is dealing with an uncomfortable problem. Their party’s candidates are either a card-carrying Nazi, a Holocaust denier, a proud white supremacist, or all of the above.

[csziggy]

34. Hey, Republicans - remember Citizens United?

That means that private groups, including any funded by George Soros, have free speech rights just like individuals and can give money to ANY group they want for political purposes.

Eat shit and die, Republicans! Liberal organizations got those rights when the right wing nut job groups won them in the Supreme Court!

[YOHABLO]

35. Giulliani needs to find a nice big shady rock and crawl under it.

[Paladin]

36. "Anti-Christ" claim against Soros is blatant Anti-Semitism.

Fuck you, Rudy. Nobody's fooled.

[DBoon]

48. and confiscating the property of Jews has a historical precedent

nt

[Thekaspervote]

37. Ghouliani can't stand someone choosing to do good with their money + ghouliani doesn't have any

[sakabatou]

38. Where's your white robe, Rudy?

[Gothmog]

39. Who is surprised that Rudy and the GOP hates Jews

[Bernardo de La Paz]

42. The fascists are getting very brazen. . . . nt

[dalton99a]

55. Because they see that there are no consequences

[roamer65]

43. I hope ghouliani meets the same fate as Mussolini.

[Vinca]

44. The right is so fucking nutzo about their obsessions.

I must be a sorry excuse for a leftie because I really don't know much at all about Soros and definitely have never gotten a check from him. LOL.

[JohnnyRingo]

45. World's. Worst. Lawyer.

Although considering who sits on the Supreme Court, I wouldn't want the constitutionality of freezing the assets of political enemies to come before them.

[Grins]

46. Hey! Cut Soros some slack. It's not his fault he got a whopper of a tax cut.

Gotta' do something with all that extra green!

Oh, and a...Thanks, GOP!

[The Blue Rhino]

47. Irony is the best form of karma

How silly is Giuliani, if My memory serves, and it usually does when it comes to shady figures and fraudulent human beings then I would check every word that comes out of Giuliani's mouth. Giuliani was a giant failure as the Mayor of New York City on September 11, 2001. His inept ability to listen to the FBI, FDNY and NYPD, and other agencies that warned him not to place the Emergency Operations Command Center in the 7 WTC Building were blatantly ignored and on that tragic day, Giuliani ran around like a chicken with his head lopped off. There was NO EOCC for the Police, Fire and Emergency services to operate due to Rudi's lack of common sense.


He also rerouted funds that went to the victims Widow and Children's fund to his political cronies, if that doesn't speak volumes of his character, I do not know what does!


Rudi is the gift from the Republican party that keeps on giving, In the mid 2000s Perdue Pharma hired Rudi Giuliani
to head a Federal investigation into the marketing of the powerful painkiller Oxycontin which has taken
hundreds of thousands of lives.

He failed to prevent the criminal conviction of Perdue Pharma's fraudulent claims that Oxycontin was safe and effective,
He did reach a deal to avoid a ban on Purdue from doing business with the Federal Government, which would have killed a large
part of the multi billion dollar market for the drug.

He also secured an agreement that greatly restricted further prosecution of the pharmaceutical company
and kept its senior executives out of prison.

No wonder Trump hired him.

[shanny]

51. is anyone looking out for / freezing the assets of

this obviously unfit...person?

[Gothmog]

52. Soros helped to elect the Harris county DA Kim Ogg and may help in other Texas races

In 2016, Soros helped Kim Ogg and that helped a number of down ballot candidates https://www.chron.com/news/politics/article/Billionaire-Soros-makes-500-000-ad-buy-for-9970130.php

Billionaire George Soros again has stepped into the Harris County district attorney's race with a half-million-dollar advertising buy on behalf of Democratic candidate Kim Ogg.
Last February, the liberal business-philanthropist—and Republican bogeyman—spent $100,000 in support of Ogg's unsuccessful primary opponent Morris Overstreet.

[Justitia]

58. What really helped the DA was her republican opponent jailing a rape victim

to force her to testify. She was put in general population where she was held for a month & beaten by other inmates.
That pretty much sealed the deal.

[Hekate]

53. Nothing says Anti-Semitic Nazi quite like calling a Jew who made it good in USA "the anti-Christ"

Rudy Giuliani should hang his head in abject shame.

[suffragette]

54. + 1,000

[TexasBushwhacker]

57. On what grounds motherfucker?!

Even IF Soros paid protesters, how exactly would that be illegal to the point of freezing assets? Seems to me that the protesters are free, under the 1st Amendment, to carry ANY sign paid for by ANYONE. Rudi gone soft in the head.

[Homer Wells]

59. Bite me, Rudy

But first, I need to update my tetanus shots.

[GoCubsGo]

60. I'm beginning to think that Trump is not the only one suffering from untreated syphilis.

Julie Annie is batshit crazy.

[clementine613]

61. This from the man who did nothing to protect his city on 9/11

3,000 people died on a single day on his watch, and he did nothing to try to prevent it.

[ck4829]

62. Kick

[Progressive Jones]

63. Greasy Rudy is always good for a laugh. nt

[GulfCoast66]

64. Rudy for the anti-Semite twofer...

Confiscate the Jews money while throwing in the Anti-Christ reference.

Just disgusting.

[potone]

65. This is grossly irresponsible and creepy.

The open bigotry of people like Giuliani, who should know better, is dangerous.
