Synagogue Shooter Endorsed GOP Talking Point That Jewish Groups Funded Migrant Caravan

Alleged Synagogue Shooter Robert Bowers Endorsed GOP Talking Point That Jewish Groups Funded Migrant Caravan

by Colin Kalmbacher | 3:55 pm, October 27th, 2018

Tree of Life Synagogue shooting suspect Robert Bowers recently endorsed the conservative talking point that Jewish organizations and/or Jewish individuals have been funding the so-called “migrant caravan” of asylum seekers from Honduras. This conspiracy theory was also recently floated by two prominent Republican congressman and President Donald Trump.

Conservative movement media has recently taken up the idea that George Soros, a prominent Jewish billionaire and philanthropist, is actively funding the relatively small group of refugees currently making its way through Mexico in order to legally apply for asylum in the United States.

This conspiracy theory is not confined to the far-right fringe, however, and has also been endorsed by multiple members of the GOP and the national leader of the Republican Party.

Representative Matt Gaetz(R-FL) recently tweeted:

BREAKING: Footage in Honduras giving cash 2 women & children 2 join the caravan & storm the US border @ election time. Soros? US-backed NGOs? Time to investigate the source!

President Trump later retweeted the video that Gaetz shared.

and Rush and Trump and Newt and Ann and Sean and Geraldo...if this is true, they need to own it! I heard several references to Soros from FOX. Trying to find the video clips now. Maybe they will STFU now? Not likely.
