In false FB posts, Texas Ag Comm. Sid Miller accused George Soros of paying protesters to "destroy"

In false Facebook posts, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller accused George Soros of paying protesters to “destroy” the country

by Alex Samuels, Texas Tribune


Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, a statewide elected Republican official, has posted multiple memes and comments on his Facebook page in recent days falsely claiming that billionaire George Soros orchestrated nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd.

The posts are similar in nature and tone to some of the racist posts by local GOP officials in recent days that suggested the killing of Floyd in Minneapolis police custody was done with the intent of starting a race war or to erode black support for President Donald Trump. The posts from those local officials have prompted calls for resignation from the state’s top GOP officials.

One post from Miller on Sunday included an image of Soros with accompanying text that read, “Climate change didn’t work. Impeachment didn’t work. The virus didn’t work. Start the race war.”

“The man is pure evil!” Miller commented.

Remember now, you are obliged to tell the BIG LIE over and over and over again. These are important instructions and you can check history for more information on how to do it right if you are going to relish doing Pure Evil,(TM). Oh, and good projection/deflection there.
