🧵 Did you know that LA County DA George Gascón is not only Soros-funded, but that he STARTED the Progressive Prosecutor Project w/Soros and convinced him to provide $50M in seed funding to the ACLU in 2014 to get it started? He spoke about it in 2020 at USC. Here are a few clips
"We started looking at a map of the US, trying to identify strategically, what are the urban centers...one of the convos was, how do we go about creating a movement here? Which led to Open Societies Foundation, George Soros' foundation, putting $50M in 2014 thru ACLU to begin it"
Why wasn't he as radical as SF DA? "You have to progressively... a lot of things that are acceptable today, in 2011 would have gotten me - there would have been a recall two years after I was in office, and I didn't want to get recalled because that doesn't get the work done."
The way the ACLU's press release about the $50 million was worded, it wasn't apparent that's what this was for - but Gascon admitted it. By partnering w/ACLU they could use ACLU's existing groundgame network. aclu.org/press-releases…
I wrote about this in December 2020, but it needs to be seen again. Don't let these people fool us
