Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was cut off during a Wednesday interview on Fox News’s “Outnumbered,” when he mentioned George Soros while responding to the unrest in many major cites.
“The number one problem in almost all these cities is George-Soros-elected, left-wing, anti-police, pro-criminal district attorneys who refuse to keep people locked up,” Gingrich said.
“Just yesterday, they put somebody back on the street who was wanted for two different murders in New York City. Uh—you cannot solve this problem,” he continued. “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.”
This is one of the weirdest exchanges I’ve ever seen on TV. @newtgingrich correctly points out that George Soros threw an unprecedented amount of money into DA races all over the country to elect radicals and Fox News basically told him to shut up. WTF? pic.twitter.com/IxwcLG2gOH

The program’s co-host, Melissa Francis interrupted the conversation, saying, “I’m not sure we need to bring George Soros into this.”
“He [Soros] paid for it. Why can’t we discuss the fact that the millions of dollars he spent elected these people,” Gingrich argued.
“No, he didn’t,” panelist Marie Harf retorted. “I agree with Melissa, George Soros doesn’t need to be a part of this conversation.”
“So, it’s verboten?” Gingrich asked as an awkward silence took over the broadcast.
The news was highlighted by Twitter user Robby Starbuck who also pointed out that billionaire George Soros has poured in millions of dollars to back multiple progressive district attorneys in their races.
In Philadelphia George Soros spent an insane $1,700,000 to elect Larry Krasner as the DA. He bought that race entirely. He’s done this all over the country. How is this even the slightest bit controversial to point out @HARRISFAULKNER @MelissaAFrancis? https://t.co/KmGeQX42sk

Here’s another DA race funded by Soros, one of the few that didn’t work out but it’s worth looking at the fact his spend was “the largest made in a race for the District Attorney’s office” in San Diego. This isn’t a conspiracy theory, this is & has been happening @HARRISFAULKNER. pic.twitter.com/XZIS65K8od

Starbuck noted that even Fox News has reported about Soros’s influence on DA elections, and suggested that host Francis should apology to Gingrich.
“Bizarrely @MelissaAFrancis – Even Fox has covered George Soros influence on DA elections and how the DA’s he’s backed have taken positions that are extremely anti-police + have increased crime in their districts,” Starbuck said. “I think you owe @newtgingrich an apology.”
Don’t forget about St. Louis prosecutor Kim Gardner’s election. George Soros dumped $116,000 into getting her re-elected. You may recognize her name because she’s the prosecutor going after the McCloskey’s for defending their home from left wing rioters. pic.twitter.com/701CSt2U6G

Earlier this month, 50 house Republicans led by Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) demanded that Attorney General William Barr launch an investigation into a series of seemingly organized riots featuring militant anarchists torching American cities.
Additionally, Buck (R-Colo.) last week sent a letter to the Department of Justice, asking them to look into the source of funding for recent riots and antifa-related activities in major cities across the United Stated.
