NY Times Article Exposes Soros as Source of Funds for ‘Women’s March’

As we know. George Soros was a major financial backer of both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Fortunately his batting average turned out to be .500, otherwise we would have been looking at a President Hillary Clinton — a horrifying thought if there ever was one. For all his support, Billionaire Soros got beat by Billionaire Trump even with Billionaire Soros funding almost 200 anti-Trump organization during the campaign. But not to worry, Soros isn’t finished yet. Since his candidate lost, he’s transitioned directly into the anti-Trump movement without wasting a day.

This first quote should grab your attention as this story unfolds.

In the pre-dawn darkness of today’s presidential inauguration day, I faced a choice, as a lifelong liberal feminist who voted for Donald Trump for president: lace up my pink Nike sneakers to step forward and take the DC Metro into the nation’s capital for the inauguration of America’s new president, or wait and go tomorrow to the after-party, dubbed the “Women’s March on Washington”?

Wait, a liberal feminist who voted for Trump? Yup, and it gets even better. But first our author takes a swipe at the “Women’s March.”

But I know — and most of America knows — that the organizers of the march haven’t put into their manifesto: the march really isn’t a “women’s march.” It’s a march for women who are anti-Trump.

As someone who voted for Trump, I don’t feel welcome, nor do many other women who reject the liberal identity-politics that is the core underpinnings of the march, so far, making white women feel unwelcome, nixing women who oppose abortion and hijacking the agenda.

This self-described “liberal feminist” proceeds to out George Soros as a partisan backer of a partisan march that claims to be non-partisan.

Soros has funded, or has close relationships with, at least 56 of the march’s “partners,” including “key partners” Planned Parenthood, which opposes Trump’s anti-abortion policy, and the National Resource Defense Council, which opposes Trump’s environmental policies. The other Soros ties with “Women’s March” organizations include the partisan MoveOn.org (which was fiercely pro-Clinton), the National Action Network (which has a former executive director lauded by Obama senior advisor Valerie Jarrett as “a leader of tomorrow” as a march co-chair and another official as “the head of logistics”). Other Soros grantees who are “partners” in the march are the American Civil Liberties Union, Center for Constitutional Rights, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.

Looks more like a pro-Hillary march than a Women’s march. Note this next excerpt.

On the issues I care about as a Muslim, the “Women’s March,” unfortunately, has taken a stand on the side of partisan politics that has obfuscated the issues of Islamic extremism over the eight years of the Obama administration. “Women’s March” partners include the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has not only deflected on issues of Islamic extremism post-9/11, but opposes Muslim reforms that would allow women to be prayer leaders and pray in the front of mosques, without wearing headscarves as symbols of chastity. Partners also include the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which wrongly designated Maajid Nawaz, a Muslim reformer, an “anti-Muslim extremist” in a biased report released before the election. The SPLC confirmed to me that Soros funded its “anti-Muslim extremists” report targeting Nawaz. (Ironically, CAIR also opposes abortions, but its leader still has a key speaking role.)

Ms. Nomani completes her report this this indictment:

Much like post-election protests, which included a sign, “Kill Trump,” were not “spontaneous,” as reported by some media outlets, the “Women’s March” is an extension of strategic identity politics that has so fractured America today, from campuses to communities. On the left or the right, it’s wrong. But, with the inauguration, we know the politics. With the march, “women” have been appropriated for a clearly anti-Trump day.

…

The left’s fierce identity politics and its failure on Islamic extremism lost my vote this past election, and so, as the dawn’s first light breaks through the darkness of the morning as I write, I make my decision: I’ll lace up my pink Nikes and head to the inauguration, skipping the “Women’s March” that doesn’t have a place for women like me.

This is a fascinating story on a number of levels, but largely because it the author’s opinions run contrary to what we’ve we’ve been told to expect. Or perhaps a better way to word that is that her opinions contradict what leftists such as Mr. Soros and folks like the leadership of CAIR would like us to believe.

It is so refreshing to read the thoughts of a liberal who has well-reasoned and coherent points. She is far removed from the foul-mouthed, hate-spewing loons who spoke at the so-called “Women’s March.” Hence, unlike Madonna, Judd, Moore, and the like, Ms. Nomani richly deserves to be read and her points considered.
