Last night.
Former US House Speaker Newt Gingrich was cut off by a Fox News panel after linking George Soros to the instances of violence that have happened at Black Lives Matter protests in American cities.
Via Newsweek:
Gingrich claimed that the “number one problem” in cities like Portland, New York and around the country which have seen protests against police brutality since late May due to the killing of George Floyd, is “George Soros-elected, anti-police, pro-criminal district attorneys who refuse to keep people locked up”.
The Fox News host Melissa Francis then said: “I’m not sure we need to bring George Soros into this. I was going to say you get the last word, speaker…”, to which Gingrich continued to claim that Soros paid for the protests, asking why couldn’t the “millions of dollars” be discussed on the panel.
“No, he didn’t,” said one of the other panellists. “I agree with Melissa that he didn’t need to be a part of this conversation”.
Gingrich then said: “Okay… so it’s verboten.”
Fox News Shuts Down Newt Gingrich For Linking George Soros to Violent Protests (Newsweek)
If you libel a named person during an interview, the journalist will invariably cut you off.
Translation: “The Alt Left have many ways of silencing anyone at any time.”
Or even conservative commentators aren’t fans of antisemitism.
in merica its not libel if its comedy
Should have added a laugh track so.
Soros the Bogeyman, striking fear in the hearts of “conservatives” and right wingers since the dawn of time.
Mmmm, SorosCheques.
yeah likely story, “daisy”
how much did Soros pay you for this comment ?€?€?€?€?
Not as much as Bill Gates pays….
Insert Laugh emoji
btw good headline, Bodge
Ta, Rob!
Fringe right-wing hate increasingly becoming mainstream Republican dogma.
The “anti-semitism” argument has been used and abused. Being a jew doesn’t confer any sanctity and shouldn’t confer automatic impunity… Not all jews are antiTrump, but the toughest antiTrump are ALL jews… Soros being one of them…
