WaPo ‘Fact-Checker’ Humiliated After Smearing Criticism Of Soros-Backed DA As ‘Antisemitism’

The fact-checker got fact-checked, and it didn’t end well for him.

The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler frequently manages to make himself the story, often due to his not-so-subtle left-wing partisan bent. It was on full display over his handling of accurate portrayals of billionaire George Soros backing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. And it was so egregious he was hit with two community notes on Twitter for his misleading spin.

Bragg is expected to indict former President Donald Trump on 34 charges connected to campaign finance violations around so-called “hush money” payments to two women during the 2016 presidential campaign. Private transactions like this are not illegal. Yet despite federal prosecutors and Bragg’s predecessor being unable to make misdemeanor charges in good faith, Bragg, known for downgrading over half of his felony cases into misdemeanors, is doing the opposite against Trump. 

The left’s hatred of Trump is so severe they’re willing to use the scourge of antisemitism to defend against a clear abuse of prosecutorial power. Bragg’s indictment is detestable not merely because it effectively fabricates charges against his party’s leading presidential political opponent. It also tears apart the legal system at its seams, politicizing the system that is supposed to be blind to these biases. But should we be surprised? Bragg is part of a network of George Soros-backed district attorneys who believe the criminal justice system is broken and must be dismantled. Here, Bragg and his political enablers are using the “broken” system to their advantage.
