Stephan did not respond to multiple requests for comment from the Daily Dot. Get the facts on Soros’s campaign at Please share and RT. We expect him to spend in excess of $1 million based on his efforts in other jurisdictions. Stephan herself shared the website on Twitter.īillionaire George Soros has launched a campaign against me, reserving a 6-figure television buy in SD. The San Diego district attorney at the center of all of this, Summer Stephan, has not hidden her disdain for the left.Ī now-deleted campaign website shows several photos of antifa activists behind George Soros with a caption that states her then-opponent “backs anti-law enforcement candidates over experienced prosecutors, trying to tip the balance to the criminals.”
It’s all in an effort to quell people who have come out in numbers to stand against far-right supporters of Trump. People sitting in the public gallery burst into laughter at the tea reference, prompting the bailiff to eject two individuals.īut the concerns over cans of tea are emblematic of the past year in San Diego, as their district attorney and police department have taken a campaign against antifa to far-fetched new heights, using the state to further harass individuals facing charges, getting information on suspects from right-wing YouTube channels, angling for million-dollar bail requests for petty crimes, and subpoenaing anonymous Twitter accounts.

The initial charges, most of which were originally brought in December 2021, stem from a protest nearly a year earlier in the wake of the Capitol riot.Īnd some of these individuals-whom the San Diego district attorney is prosecuting as part of a “conspiracy” to “incite and participate in a riot” in a campaign she is waging against antifa-are facing longer sentences than many of the Jan. Recently, a prosecutor in San Diego attempted to strip the people charged of their constitutional rights, all because they purchased cans of Twisted Tea. It’s a case, brought against antifascist protesters, that’s thorough in its absurdity. A grand jury in San Diego indicted 11 individuals for protest-related acts of violence committed against supporters of former President Donald Trump.
