Newt Gingrich caused a Fox News panel to meltdown earlier today when he mentioned the known fact that George Soros is one of the biggest funders of the chaos happening in the streets of America's biggest cities today.
“The No. 1 problem in almost all the cities is George Soros-elected, left-wing, anti-police, pro-criminal district attorneys who refuse to keep people locked up,” Gingrich said to a panel on Fox News’s Outnumbered on Wednesday. “Both Harris and Biden have talked very proudly about what they call progressive district attorneys. Progressive district attorneys are anti-police, pro-criminal, and overwhelmingly elected with George Soros’s money. And they are a major cause of the violence we are seeing because they keep putting the violent criminals back on the street.”
Host Melissa Francis pushed back immediately, telling Gingrich, “I’m not sure we need to bring George Soros into this.”
“He paid for it,” Gingrich responded, prompting host Marie Harf to defend Francis.
“No he didn’t,” Harf claimed. “I agree with Melissa, George Soros doesn’t need to be part of this conversation.”
“OK?” a puzzled Gingrich said after an awkward silence. “So it’s verboten?”
A longer silent pause then ensued before host Harris Faulkner ended the segment.
“OK, we’re going to move on.”
If you've ever wondered why no one on any news network never talks about Soros, including the right-leaning Fox News, this might be why. Has Soros bought them all?
