Original Note:
This is a game of semantics. Soros donated to the cause, not the candidate. He did not directly fund Bragg, the donation was not earmarked for Bragg’s campaign, CoC did not donate the money to Bragg’s campaign or even spend the full 1 mil on outreach for Bragg. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/01/incendiary-claim-that-george-soros-funds-alvin-bragg/ https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/03/31/politics/trump-soros-bragg-color-of-change/index.html https://www.politifact.com/article/2023/mar/23/trumps-attacks-on-manhattan-da-alvin-braggs-backin/ https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-george-soros-anti-semitic-manhattan-da-alvin-bragg-2023-3 https://www.forbes.com/sites/tylerroush/2023/03/31/george-soros-denies-gop-conspiracy-suggesting-he-backed-da-bragg/amp/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/03/31/donald-trump-republicans-mischaracterize-george-soros-ties-bragg-amid-probe-manhattan-da/11548581002/
