Trump, DeSantis and other Republicans push antisemitic 'Soros' smear after Bragg indictment
In his statement condemning the Manhattan grand jury indictment of Donald Trump, Florida Gov. and likely Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis mentioned neither the former president nor the district attorney who will prosecute the case, Alvin Bragg, by name. But he did name-check George Soros, a favorite target of antisemitic conspiracy theories — twice.

For some, the implication was obvious.

“It’s hard to even call it a dog whistle of antisemitism,” former assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Weissman said of the Florida governor’s statement in a cable news appearance.

Soros indirectly helped fund Bragg’s run for office, but he is not involved in the case against the former president, which is focused on an allegedly improper 2016 payment to the former adult-film actress Stormy Daniels.

They have to appeal to their Nazi brethren.

The Nazis who promote strong support for Israel? THOSE Nazi brethren?

The DU-folk who demonized people they associated with Richard Mellon Scaife and the Koch brothers claim calling out people whose campaigns were funded in part with George Soros' $$ is antisemitism?

Yep. They keep forgetting in their misuse of the term, that if they can hear the dog whistle, THEY are the lower life-form being summoned. (Frankly, I have a difficult time applying the phrase "lower life-form" to dogs, when comparing them to DUm'Rats, but here we are.)

The person blowing the whistle - and indeed the society full of NORMAL PEOPLE around them don't hear the "dog whistle" at all.

I've heard there were some leftists who, when Trump said coyotes were bringing children over the border, thought he meant literal coyotes. But we're supposed to believe they're sensitive to these "dog whistles" (excuse the pun).
