Stupidest rumor I saw on Facebook so far...

A guy is saying "George Soros bused in the white nationalists," and another FB poster wrote this:

"An FB friend heading home from Columbus saw a flatbed truck hauling a black armored tank with a bunch of Nazi symbols and white KKK hoods all over it. She made the comment that she wondered where they were going and I thought, "driving somewhere to cause trouble someplace they don't even live".

1. Is George Soros Jewish?

For some reason I always thought George Soros was Jewish. I do not understand why a Jewish man would want to bus Nazis into a city. Although Robert Mercer is Jewish and he supports Donald Trump. I think Mercer's support comes from Mercer hating black people and thinking Trump will be harsh on blacks.

The Nazis seems to be opposed to people like George Soros. I understand that some on the right will say Soros is doing this in order to make the right look bad. Making the right look bad seems to be one of those things that one files under give them enough rope to hang themselves and/or get out of the way and let them trip over their own tongues. It seems that George Soros does not need to use his money in order to make the right or Nazis look bad. They take care of that on their own.

His birth surname was Schwartz. His father changed it to Soros in 1936.

Because when I hear RWers talk, literally every one of them says that George Soros is funding pretty much everything they don't like.
