This scale raises questions about who orchestrated these events. Funds from Soros’s Open Society Foundations have long been linked to progressive movements. Although these foundations often claim to support “social welfare activities,” the $3 million grant to Indivisible—the lead organizer of the protests—suggests a deeper involvement. Indivisible’s role included…
