BREAKING : George Soros Funded UC Berkeley Riots
The Democrat terror group known as “Antifa” went on the attack Wednesday night at UC Berkeley.
The masked terror group set fires, knocked out innocent Trump supporters, and successfully shut down free speech at the Milo Yiannopoulos campus event.
Now we’re learning that this group of domestic terrorists was funded and bussed in by Communist and Hillary backer George Soros.
From Daily Caller
The left-wing group that helped organize the violent shut down of the Milo Yiannopoulos event at the University of California, Berkeley on Wednesday is backed by a progressive charity that is in turn funded by George Soros, the city of Tucson, a major labor union and several large companies.
The Global Alliance for Justice, based in Tucson, is listed as an organizer and fiscal sponsor for Refuse Fascism, a communist group that encouraged left-wingers to shut down the Yiannopoulos event.
The call to arms succeeded. Yiannopoulos’ talk was cancelled after demonstrators lit fires, vandalized businesses, and assaulted Donald Trump and Yiannopoulos supporters.
Refuse Fascism, which includes Princeton professor Cornel West as one of its founding “initiators,” defended the response, issuing a statement on its website that called the shut down “righteous.”
And on its Facebook page, the group asserted that the vandalism and arson were not “violence.” Instead, the group argued that Yiannopoulos and Trump perpetrate violence through the policies they support.
“Dismantling police fences is not violent. And to compare preventing someone like that from speaking to the real-world violence that they perpetuate everyday is ludicrous,” reads one post on the group’s Facebook page.

The organization did not mention the violent attacks against conservatives. One Trump backer was attacked with shovels by a group of men clad in black. He was shown laying unconscious in the middle of the street. A female Trump supporter was blasted with pepper spray while giving an on-camera interview.
Refuse Fascism’s involvement has spurred questions about who is behind the group. In a series of tweets on Thursday, Trump asserted that the protesters were paid to agitate.
While it is unclear whether those who carried out the violence were paid to do so, the benefactors of the Alliance for Global Justice — and Refuse Fascism — are listed online.
According to its most recent 990 tax form, Alliance for Global Justice (AfGJ) received $2.2 million in funding for the fiscal year ending in March 2016.
One of the group’s biggest donors is the Tides Foundation, a non-profit funded by billionaire progressive philanthropist George Soros. Tides gave AfGJ $50,000.
Other notable donors include the city of Tucson and the United Steel Workers labor union. The former gave $10,000 to AfGJ while the latter contributed $5,000.

Charities associated with several major corporations also donated. Patagonia.org, the outdoor apparel and equipment company, gave $40,000. The Ben & Jerry Foundation, the charity associated with the ice cream maker, gave $20,000. And Lush Cosmetic gave $43,950.
Another bit of irony is seen in the $5,000 contribution from the Peace Development Fund, a group that claims to support organizations that fight for human rights and social justice.
Another major donation came from a group that was chaired by Hillary Clinton during the 1980s. The New World Foundation gave $52,000 to AfGJ.
Refuse Fascism did not respond to a request for comment for this article.
Chuck Kaufman, the national co-ordinator for AfGJ, said he was only aware of the Berkeley protests through social media.
“I wasn’t aware that Refuse Fascism was involved, but probably they were one of a whole lot of groups calling to shut down Milo Yiannopoulos’ hate speech,” he told The Daily Caller.
“AfGJ acts as fiscal sponsor for Refuse Fascism which means we process tax-deductible donations for them. As long as their use of the money falls into areas permitted for tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations, we don’t involve ourselves one way or the other in their program work.”
Correction: This article initially stated that Fidelity Charitable and Schwab Charitable gave small donations to AfGJ. Those donations were made by individuals through donor-advised funds and did not come directly from either Fidelity or Schwab.

Maybe…Sam…It Needs To Be Posted To Do More Than Inform…Maybe …Sam…It Needs To Be Posted To Trigger Some Long Overdue ACTION… Against Soros…His Son…And His Paid Minions…Who Are Subverting America And Our Freedom!
Why no one arrest him? What is the reason?
Soros Son goes to School there for his PHD, He probably recruited and paid the Communist Rioters who shut down everyones 1st Amendment right.
So when does he get indicted?
Yes, when !! Mr President we ask you to deliver him to Putin and freeze his assets as terrorist money.

Soros should of been executed long ago. He was a nazi collaborator. Trump will finish this satanic scum and all his followers off soon.
rioters paid by bannon to discredit the left!
Bob, you freaking idiot. Nice try.
Poor Bob …he must have drank the Kool-Aid !
Got a link, Bob – or just lefty talking points? #FAKENEWS
It’s long past time to fight fire with fire. Why do conservatives insist on going to these events either alone or in very small groups believing that “this time it’ll be different”? It won’t be and you can always expect to get your collective butts kicked until you change your thinking. Start going in very large groups and give them exactly what they dish out! Maybe if enough of them get their heads busted things will change…
Exactly!!!
I agree with you 100%. Why are they the only ones who can go to a protest and cause harm to innocent people. I wish I had been by the young person who got pepper spayed by a elderly person that has been showed over and over again on Fox News. I promise you one thing he would have never used pepper spray after I had my way with him. He is like all Democrats that I know, nothing but cowards and idiots

That Soros bitch needs to be prosecuted
I wish G Soros would pay me to bitch and whine. I got to do it for free. He probably offers health care coverage.
I hope Sec. Sessions’ Justice Department is building a case against this evil POS so he can be deported…right to Putin.

VIDEO at end of article shows the woman wearing a Trump hat being interviewed by a local reporter and his camera man. The person who took the video was her girlfriend directly behind her and the reporter.
As she is speaking to the reporter you can see he is holding initially a mic that clearly says ABC7 which is a local News station in Berkeley. As the reporter finished the interview he suddenly switched out the mic for pepper spray and sprayed her right in the face……..YOU CAN SEE IT ALL FOR YOURSELF. IT WAS A REPORTER ATTACKING A TRUMP SUPPORTER AND HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL FACING ASSAULT AND BATTERY CHARGES. NOTE NO TV NEWS STATION IS REPORTING THE TRUE STORY. I SENT IF TO FOX NEWS BUT WE CAN’T TRUST THEM TO BE HONEST AND FAIR ANYMORE EITHER. SO I SENT IT TO PRESIDENT TRUMP AND BELIEVE ME HE AND JEFF SESSIONS WILL GET ON IT. AND AS FOR SOROS THEY WILL GO AFTER HIM BECAUSE HE DID THAT SAME THING THERE AND WAS DEPORTED……..THEY HAVE A WARRANT OUT OF HIM. WE AS A NATION NOW THAT OBAMA IS GONE NEED TO TURN HIM OVER TO THE RUSSIANS. I AM NO FAN OF PUTIN OR RUSSIA BUT THEY WOULD DEAL WITH HIM MORE HARSHLY THAT OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM…….
WHAT THE DEMS DID TO BERNIE SANDERS IS TOTALLY NOT DEMOCRACY…….ITS TOTALITARIAN DICTATORSHIP. I DON’T AGREE WITH BERNIE BUT THEY SURE SHOWED EVERYONE……THEIR VALUES ARE NOT AMERICAN VALUES AND ALL THEY SAY ABOUT TRUMP AND TRUMP SUPPORTERS IS WHO THEY ARE…………….IT IS THE CLINTON, OBAMA, SOROS MAFIA DICTATING TO EVERYONE OUT OF NEED FOR POWER AND CONTROLLING PEOPLE…….THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERSHIP SCREWED OVER A LARGE NUMBER OF THEIR MEMBERSHIP THINKING THEM AS MERE PONES THEY COULD MANIPULATE…………WRONG……….WHEN PEOPLE DON’T HAVE JOBS AND DON’T FEEL SAVE THEY FINALLY SAID THE HELL WITH THE PARTY LINE………..THAT IS WHY THESE ARROGANT IDIOTS ARE FREAKING OUT ,,,,,,,,,THEY JUST CAN’T ADMIT THEY DID IT TO THEMSELVES AND IF IT KEEPS UP THEY TOTALLY SELF DESTRUCT.
Even the girl who was pepper sprayed does not give this account. @kiarafrobles is her twitter and she does not tell the same story as you.
