In a surprising piece from POLITICO writer Shia Kapos, the outlet published an article that was shared by President Trump on his platform Truth Social, entitled: "Pro-Palestinian protesters are backed by a surprising source: Biden’s biggest donors".
It's worth noting that President Trump generally shares articles that he believes his followers should take the time to read.
Kapos wrote, "Biden has been dogged for months by pro-Palestinian protesters calling him "Genocide Joe" — but some of the groups behind the demonstrations receive financial backing from philanthropists pushing hard for his reelection.
In a move that many conservatives would find shocking stemming from POLITICO, Kapos named actually named George Soros, David Rockefeller, and Democrat Governor of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, as some of the biggest donors.
Kapos continued, "Two of the organizers supporting the protests at Columbia University and on other campuses are Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow. Both are supported by the Tides Foundation, which is seeded by Democratic megadonor George Soros and was previously supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It in turn supports numerous small nonprofits that work for social change."
Unfortunately, George Soros declined to comment in response to Kapos' piece. Kapos wrote, "The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has previously funded the Tides Foundation and other groups, said it no longer has active grants to Tides. It also does not support Jewish Voice for Peace or IfNotNow."
"Another notable Democratic donor whose philanthropy has helped fund the protest movement is David Rockefeller Jr., who sits on the board of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. In 2022, the fund gave $300,000 to the Tides Foundation; according to nonprofit tax forms, Tides has given nearly $500,000 over the past five years to Jewish Voice for Peace, which explicitly describes itself as anti-Zionist.
Several other groups involved in pro-Palestinian protests are backed by a foundation funded by Susan and Nick Pritzker, heir to the Hyatt Hotel empire — and supporters of Biden and numerous Democratic campaigns, including $6,600 to the Biden Victory Fund a few months ago and more than $300,000 during the 2020 campaign."
