Multibillionaire George Soros is a gilded patron of hideous interests like Planned Parenthood, abolition of national borders and sovereignty, and discord urged by communistic protesters, Israel-hating agitators, and scowling racial separatists.

Whether or not they are aware, left-wing activists who avail themselves of his largesse are connected to actual Nazis of the Third Reich era, as opposed to the baseless rhetorical gimcrack they wield to intimidate ideological adversaries.

Soros was complicit with the real, monstrous phenomenon; MAGA cap-wearing American patriots never will be.

The amoral left-wing billionaire detailed his abhorrent collaboration during a 1998 interview with CBS reporter Steve Kroft, in a broadcast of that network’s 60 Minutes.

KROFT: “You’re a Hungarian Jew who escaped the Holocaust by posing as a Christian.”

SOROS: “Right.”

KROFT: “And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.”

SOROS: “Right. I was 14 years-old. And I would say that’s when my character was made.”

KROFT: “In what way?”

SOROS: “That one should think ahead. That one should understand and anticipate events. And when one is threatened – it was a tremendous threat of evil, a very personal experience of evil.”

KROFT: “My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted [Christian] godson. Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.”

SOROS: “That’s right.”

KROFT: “I mean, that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?”

SOROS: “Not at all, not at all. Maybe as a child, you don’t see the connection. But it was — it created no problem, at all.”

KROFT: “No feeling of guilt?”

SOROS: “No.”

KROFT: “For example: ‘I’m Jewish, and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should be there.’ None of that?”

SOROS: “Well, of course I could be on the other side, or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn’t be there, because that was — well, actually, in a funny way, it’s just like in markets. That if I weren’t there — of course, I wasn’t doing it, but somebody else would be taking it away, anyhow.”

In a 2023 Jerusalem Post essay, Larry Pfeffer observed “By his insensitive logic, German, Japanese, and Russian soldiers could also have exclaimed that they don’t need to regret raping women, since if they didn’t, then someone else would have.”

Of course, one shouldn’t condemn a teenager for a decision he’d made for self-preservation’s sake. But Soros was quite old when 60 Minutes profiled him. Even then, and with the benefit of hindsight, the vastly moneyed Democrat funder expressed zero moral compunction.

So, recall Soros’s admitted Third Reich-collaboration, his contemporary lack of related moral qualms, and his ongoing patronage of subversive Democrats’ violent rioting, when next you hear those he bankrolls falsely smear Trump as Hitler, and compare MAGA to Nazis.

Look who’s talking.
