No, George Soros isn't paying Kavanaugh protesters

Not that anyone from DU was dumb enough to believe he was
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Maria Bartiromo, Fox Business Network: “Do you believe George Soros is behind all of this, paying these people to get you and your colleagues in elevators or wherever they can get in your face?”

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa): “I have heard so many people believe that. I tend to believe it. I believe it fits in his attack mode that he has and how he uses his billions and billions of resources.”

The very rude elevator screamers are paid professionals only looking to make Senators look bad. Don’t fall for it! Also, look at all of the professionally made identical signs. Paid for by Soros and others. These are not signs made in the basement from love! #Troublemakers”

— President Trump, in a tweet, Oct. 5, 2018

Liberal billionaire George Soros has been a boogeyman for conservatives ever since he spent $27 million to oppose President George W. Bush’s reelection in 2004.

A Hungarian-American who supports a range of liberal groups and causes, Soros, who is Jewish, has been unwillingly cast as the protagonist of conspiracy theories large and small circulating on the right for more than a decade.

The latest one: As protesters fill the Capitol to oppose Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court — challenging senators on elevators, in hallways and outside their offices — Trump and Grassley are playing down the uproar as a sideshow orchestrated by the invisible hand of Soros.

Since they all think he does! I’m surprised Kavanagh didn’t mention him the other night.
