An organization for which Christine Blasey Ford's attorney, Debra Katz, serves as vice chair receives funding from George Soros's Open Society Foundation. What's False
Full Answer
A video circulating on social media shows Christine Blasey Ford 's attorney telling attendees at a feminist conference that her client's testimony against now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was a politically motivated move to protect Roe v. Wade.
We've received your submission. The American Civil Liberties Union recently awarded a “courage” award to Justice Brett Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford. But it’s unclear why she continues to win plaudits, write Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino at The Federalist, “given the lack of evidence in support of her accusations.”
Had the Senate understood Ford's real motivation, as described by Katz, it might have appreciated more fully the pressure that 'organized forces' were applying." Conservatives and supporters of Kavanaugh's appointment have responded to the video of Katz's comments by labeling it " chilling " and calling Ford's motivations into question.
Plus, her own supposed witness and childhood friend Leland Keyser “came to lack confidence in the tale” Ford told. All other “alleged witnesses strongly dispute the claim.” Worse, even Ford’s own father “went out of his way to offer . . . support” to Kavanaugh’s father, Ed.
Tentacle refers to the tendency of organizations funded by Soros to be politically and financially intertwined while serving common goals. This phenomenon has been noted in a variety of countries, some of which have targeted legislation against the politically influential billionaire.
The conspiratorial fixation with Soros often takes hold after mass casualty incidents: he is often the target of fantastical allegations that he orchestrates “false flag” events. It also becomes prominent when a political controversy sweeps the country, as with the Kavanaugh confirmation process.
While POGO is officially non-partisan, it has signed on to a letter alongside heavily partisan groups that have taken a strong position against Kavanaugh intended to stymie his progress.
Christine Blasey Ford, a California college professor, came forward with allegations that Kavanaugh had attempted to rape her when the two were in high school, a menagerie of junk news sites and internet conspiracy theorists alike began to scour the web for “links” between her and Soros.
Greenfield didn’t explain why he didn’t consider it equally newsworthy that POGO has also received funding from Charles Koch, a conservative politically influential billionaire whose activism has shaped and reshaped national politics, or use the word “ tentacle ” to describe Koch’s charitable activities.
POGO co-signed a letter to Senator Dianne Feinstein and Senator Grassley along with a variety of lefty groups demanding Kavanaugh records. This was the obstruction tactic of choice of the left for trying to secure the Court seat before they fastened on to this latest smear.
But POGO spokesman Tim Farnsworth told us POGO is non-partisan and has not taken a position supporting or opposing Kavanaugh’s confirmation: “I think it’s ridiculous to use one funding source for the organization to draw a conspiracy, when we have over 50 foundations and grant makers supporting us,” he said.
