George Soros drops $256,000 into a Louisiana DA Race!


Is this isn’t a read flag I don’t know what is.
Now, enter the final character.

That would be George Soros, a Hungarian-American known for his support of liberal causes and concern about race-related injustice. Soros is another white hero or a villain here, depending on your notion of fairness, your politics and your feelings about campaign finance law. Soros already ranks among the county’s biggest billionaire federal campaign financiers.

And on Oct. 5, he dropped  $256,000 into a Louisiana super PAC that promptly put ads on the air in support of one of the Caddo DA candidates. Soros appears to be the super PAC’s only donor.  


 

Race, justice and the death penalty: Louisiana plays host next week to the biggest local election of 2015

October 16

Now, enter the final character. That would be George Soros, a Hungarian-American known for his support of liberal causes and concern about race-related injustice.

Soros is another white hero or a villain here, depending on your notion of fairness, your politics and your feelings about campaign finance law. Soros already ranks among the county’s biggest billionaire federal campaign financiers. And on Oct. 5, he dropped  $256,000 into a Louisiana super PAC that promptly put ads on the air in support of one of the Caddo DA candidates. Soros appears to be the super PAC’s only donor.

Now, picture some tense courtroom scenes, corridors and offices. The super PAC’s ad (see below) has started working to support a black judge and Democrat named James Stewart.

A local lawyer filed a suit against Stewart saying Stewart had to resign if he was going to run.
