Peter Beinart: 'Soros-backed' is evoking a trope rooted in antisemitic history

Trump and his Republican allies are linking Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to philanthropist George Soros, a Hungarian-born Holocaust survivor. Soros responded to GOP attacks this week saying he does not know Bragg nor has he ever donated to his campaign. The claim is not only inaccurate, but it’s also rooted in anti-semitism, says Peter Beinhart, Jewish Currents editor-at-large. “They have become so accustomed to this particular way of talking, they don’t realize how dangerous it is,” says Beinhart, pointing to the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooter who believed George Soros was controlling the world economy. » Subscribe to MSNBC: http://on.msnbc.com/SubscribeTomsnbc Follow MSNBC Show Blogs MaddowBlog: https://www.msnbc.com/maddowblog ReidOut Blog: https://www.msnbc.com/reidoutblog MSNBC delivers breaking news, in-depth analysis of politics headlines, as well as commentary and informed perspectives.
