Life is weird. In 2016, read as to what was said about Soros’s money being used to help a Harris County DA.
Allan Blakemore, trumpeted the Soros ad buy, accusing Ogg of aligning forces seeking to buy the district attorney’s office.
“She has abandoned the values and standards of our community to become a puppet for those whose clear agenda is to corrupt the rule of law in Harris County,” Blakemore said.
Wayne Dolcefino, a spokesman for the Ogg campaign, welcomed the contribution, adding that the race has received national attention following the jailing of a rape victim during Anderson’s tenure. Source
Now, what did Ogg have to say about Soros donating about the same amount to her opponent, Sean Teare?
The Ogg campaign put out a press release Thursday quoting Douglas Griffith, president of the Houston Police Officers’ Union.
“I am very concerned with the funding of Sean Teare’s campaign by a PAC funded by George Soros,” Griffith said in a statement. “Teare claimed to be a friend to police, but sadly appears to side with George Soros. Other big-city DAs funded by Soros have been a disaster for the communities they represent. I am fearful that we could be the next LA or Chicago!”
In response, the Teare campaign fired back, accusing Ogg of using tactics outside the bounds of the Democratic Party.
“Kim Ogg’s desperate and hypocritical attack exposes her true colors,” Teare spokesperson Rocky Saligram said in a statement. “She aligns herself with GOP rhetoric, funding, and endorsements.”
Soros, a Jewish investor and philanthropist, has been a popular target of Republican conspiracy theories for years. Source
Life is a bitch, ain’t it, Kim?
As to the police union guy, it would be nice if Houston had as many police officers as Chicago or New York. You can do your homework, police guy; New York is safer than Houston. As to Chicago, read the table below if you can and weep.
