Soros has contributed significantly to the Color of Change PAC, which endorsed Bragg in his campaign for Manhattan district attorney in 2021 and pledged more than $1 million on an independent expenditure campaign to support Bragg. However, Soros spokesperson Michael Vachon recently insisted that none of those funds were earmarked for Bragg&#8217;s campaign and that &#8220;there has been no contact between the two.&#8221; Soros also remarked on an op-ed he&#8217;d written explaining why he&#8217;s donated to &#8220;reform-minded prosecutors&#8221; and why he has &#8220;no intention of stopping.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The label was often applied to Bragg, even though rumors swirled that he was preparing to make a move on former President Donald Trump. The former president&#8217;s son, Don Trump Jr., criticized Bragg over his pursuit of criminal charges against his dad, describing it as politically motivated and likening it to communist-level nonsense. Florida governor Ron DeSantis also accused Bragg of playing politics and &#8220;weaponizing&#8221; the DA&#8217;s office, saying that Soros-funded prosecutors are imposing a political agenda on society at the expense of the rule of law and public safety. <\/p>\n<p>Soros, who is Jewish, is known to back progressive political causes, but his investments in political activism have also attracted criticism that relies on &#8220;longstanding antisemitic myths, particularly the notion that rich and powerful Jews work behind the scenes, plotting to control countries and manipulate global events.&#8221; <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5142001\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/03\/22\/Alvin-Bragg-GettyImages-1456196846-1200x723.jpeg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg speaks at a press conference after the sentencing hearing of the Trump Organization at the New York Supreme Court in New York, on Jan. 13, 2023.
