Soros Prosecutors Leaving Public Office In Droves
Since 2022, over 15 left-leaning district attorneys, supported by liberal donor George Soros, have stepped down, retired, faced recall, or lost elections, signaling a conservative pushback against radical criminal justice reforms. Milwaukee DA John Chisholm, a Soros ally, recently announced he won't seek re-election, following a trend of promoting cash bail abolition and leniency on "low-level" offenses.
Chisholm gained national attention in 2021 when it was revealed that the Christmas parade attacker, Darrell Brooks, was out on a $1,000 cash bail. Critics highlighted Chisholm's 2007 interview where he acknowledged the risk of diverting individuals into treatment programs who might commit serious crimes. His decision not to seek re-election is significant as he served as a model for other Soros-supported prosecutors nationwide.
In 2022, San Francisco's Chesa Boudin, mentored by Chisholm, faced a recall after the city became increasingly unsafe. Baltimore's Marilyn Mosby, another Soros-backed prosecutor, lost in the Democratic primary due to rising crime rates and federal perjury charges. St. Louis DA Kim Gardner resigned amid lawsuits, leaving behind a city with high crime rates and low prosecution rates.
Last November, Buta Biberaj, Soros-backed DA in Loudoun County, Virginia, lost to a Republican after controversial decisions, including allowing a rapist to transfer schools. Despite these setbacks, more than 70 Soros prosecutors remain in office nationwide, with significant influence, as seen in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's indictment of Donald Trump.
Public discontent with Soros's criminal justice vision is evident, even in traditionally liberal areas. With upcoming elections, Americans have the chance to voice their opposition to radical reforms as cities grapple with increasing chaos and lawlessness. The Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund reports over 70 Soros-backed prosecutors still in office, with potential repercussions for the movement in the face of ongoing turmoil.
