Interestingly, it is being funded by the same <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/antifa-leftists-get-censored-by-social-media-platforms\/\" title=\"Antifa, leftists get censored by social media platforms\">left-wing organization<\/a> that actively campaigns for their removal.<\/p>\n<p>According to tax documents reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation on June 20, ProPublica has written multiple stories about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas&#8217; alleged ethics violations. What&#8217;s concerning is that the outlet has been receiving donations from the same groups that are actively campaigning for Justice Thomas to resign or be removed from the Court.<\/p>\n<p>The left-wing nonprofit accused of pouring millions into multiple groups attacking Thomas&#8217; character is the Sandler Foundation. They are also supporting the attacks on his colleague, Justice Samuel Alito, as part of a wider effort to marginalize conservatives on the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">The Sandler Foundation, which founded ProPublica in 2007, has given the outlet $40 million since 2010 to keep it afloat. However, this same organization has also been funding dark-money groups that have been seeking to oust Thomas from the Court for years, aiming to replace him with a leftist.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>ProPublica Caught Participating in a Conspiracy to Remove Justice Thomas<\/h2>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>ProPublica has published several investigations over the past few months into Thomas&#8217; relationship with conservative billionaire real estate developer Harlan Crow. The publication has deemed their relationship inappropriate.<\/p>\n<p>The stories have covered expensive trips Thomas took with Crow, the developer&#8217;s purchase of the home of the justice&#8217;s mother, and paying for the private school tuition of Thomas&#8217; grandnephew.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s interesting is that several of ProPublica&#8217;s top donors were exposed as major financial supporters of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/antifa-blm-vandalize-ice-building-burn-original-starbucks\/\" title=\"Antifa, BLM vandalize ICE building, burn original Starbucks\">left-wing groups<\/a> attacking Thomas. These groups have been calling for an ethics investigation into his private life based on the series of articles over his finances.<\/p>\n<p>The Sandler Foundation, the organization behind ProPublica, has also been involved in launching and funding other left-wing groups such as The Center for American Progress, the ACLU, Human Rights Watch, and Sierra Club, as stated on their website.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;It is no coincidence that several organizations smearing Justice Thomas are funded generously by many of the same donors,&#8221; said Parker Thayer, an investigator at Capital Research Center, in an interview with the Daily Caller.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The &#8216;pop-up&#8217; public pressure campaign, where just a few donors pay dozens of &#8216;grassroots&#8217; activist groups to give the appearance of broad public support for a particular issue, has long been a favored tactic of the Left&#8217;s wealthy special interests,&#8221; Thayer added.<\/p>\n<p>The Sandler Foundation has also given more than $7.5 million to the Campaign Legal Center (CLC) since 2015 and more than $6 million to the American Constitution Society (ACS) since 2010. Both organizations have called on Biden&#8217;s Justice Department to investigate Thomas for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/propublica-and-donors-attack-conservative-supreme-court-justices\/\" title=\"ProPublica and donors criticize conservative Supreme Court justices.\">allegedly violating judicial ethics rules<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">Other tax forms show that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/left-wing-donors-behind-propublica-funds-attacks-on-conservative-supreme-court-justices\/\" title=\"Left-wing donors fund attacks on conservative Supreme Court justices via ProPublica.\">left-wing nonprofit gave millions<\/a> of dollars to The New Venture Fund since 2019. It is part of a network of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/propublica-and-donors-attack-conservative-supreme-court-justices-report\/\" title=\"ProPublica and donors criticize conservative Supreme Court justices: Report\">left-wing nonprofits managed<\/a> by Arabella Advisors, founded by Eric Kessler, a former member of the Clinton Global Initiative.<\/p>\n<p>The Sandler Foundation also gave a $500,000 grant to the New Venture Fund for Demand Justice, a radical group that calls for aggressive tactics against conservative judicial nominees. Demand Justice has called for court packing and for removing Thomas from the Supreme Court. Katie O&#8217;Connor, the group&#8217;s deputy chief counsel, has been demanding Thomas&#8217; resignation following the allegations by ProPublica.<\/p>\n<h2>Left-Wing News Outlet Now Targeting Justice Alito<\/h2>\n<p>ProPublica has now turned its attention to Justice Alito. They published a story critical of Alito on June 20, using similar themes as their articles on Thomas.<\/p>\n<p>The story claimed that Alito took a &#8220;luxury fishing vacation&#8221; in 2008 with billionaire Paul Singer, who later had cases before the Supreme Court and accused the justice of a conflict of interest.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Alito immediately refuted the article&#8217;s claims in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A left-wing organization funding ProPublica, a nonprofit news outlet, has been attacking two conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices.
