Republicans use 'Soros' smear in response to Trump indictment

Republicans, including former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, have been invoking George Soros, a Hungarian American billionaire who funds progressive causes, in denouncing the indictment of Trump by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Soros indirectly helped fund Bragg's run for office, but he is not involved in the case against Trump. Experts in antisemitism warn that invoking Soros serves to promote toxic ideas about Jews. The recent attacks on Soros come as the nation faces an unprecedented increase in antisemitic incidents.
