Things got extremely awkward on Fox News panel show Outnumbered on Wednesday after former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich tied billionaire financier George Soros—often the focus of anti-Semitic tropes—to violence in cities, prompting the show’s co-hosts to directly confront him on why he was invoking the liberal philanthropist.
Towards the end of a discussion on the property damage that’s been caused by violent protests over police brutality, Gingrich—who is now a Fox News contributor—insisted that the real issue was with local elected leaders.

I saw this as it happened; it was very strange. It was as if someone ordered Harris Faulkner to shut it down. What could this be about? You cannot mention Soros on Fox News?

Soros either does or doesn't fund left-wing district attorneys in major cities. I understand he does.

This article does something I hate in any type of article. It says that George Soros is often the focus of anti-Semitic tropes without giving any examples. I first learned that George Soros was Jewish from the press telling me he was the target of anti-Semitic attacks.

I saw it too. I accidentally saw it because I don't tune in to Outnumbered any more. I used to like both Melissa Francis and Harris Faulkner, but several months ago I became disenchanted with both. This article doesn't really get to the way it really was, they didn't 'push back', they shut it down. Newt was right they were wrong.

It is well-known that Soros has supported Dem candidates running for DA in various parts of the country. The woman who was anti-deathpenalty in Florida. DA Foxx of Jussie Smollett infamy. The female DA in St. Louis who charged the couple who displayed arms when protesters trespassed on their private property. Just a few.

Mentioning the name of a Nazi collaborator is somehow a "anti-Semitic trope" in the Daily Beast's world.

I listen to Fox programming on XM most days and I realized just a couple weeks ago how much of a leftist Ms Faulkner is . In fact , Fox News is rife with a bunch of wimmins who should be hosting the Today Show, instead. I don't trust much of what Fox has on the menu before 8pm.

Don't follow daytime tv, but have upon rare occasion seen Outnumbered. Ms. Faulkner is not right of center.

So they've found one white guy no one can criticize? Simply because he's Jewish? I wonder if he observes the Sabbath or any other restrictions of Jewish laws and rules like not eating pork?

Well, in 2018 in San Antonio (Bexar County), the Soros-funded "Texas Justice & Safety PAC" contributed over $900,000 to unseat a Democrat incumbent in the primary. The Soros stooge won the primary and is now the County DA.

Maybe Soros has his fingers in Fox News, these days. Wouldn't be the first time he's used shell corporations for investments.

On one of these Alphabet Talk shows, some years ago - I think shortly after he nearly broke the Bank of England - he was sitting down with some gushing talking head and the discussion wandered off to George's 'humble origins'. He was a teenager, by his own account in Nazi controlled Hungary, and very poor. He made a living for himself, betraying fellow Jews to the Nazis, then looting their houses while the Nazis processed his distant relatives for Auschwitz and similar places. He laughed about it as the talking head grew nervous and asked him if he were joking.
He wasn't.
But he eventually realized that a live talk show wasn't the place to air his origins, nor what anyone else but him, would consider despicable, even criminal behavior.

It wouldn't surprise me if the video of that interview doesn't exist anymore. Though it would be VERY interesting if someone who had a copy would direct it to Mossad.

From what I've read Soros is a Jew hating Jew. As a teen ager he helped the Nazis steal all the possessions of Jews in Austria who were sent to concentration camps. Claimed it was the best time of his life.

Newt has always been one of my favorite people to see speak because he knows what he is talking about. Guess he didn't get the memo that Soros is "forboden". To me this is proof Soros is behind it all and likely the one that will run the Biden Presidency like the Wizard of Oz. Newt needs his own show on prime time.

Soros needs to be investigated throughly. He is behind all the riots and the prosecutors that won’t indict them. He was throw out of Hungary for the same reasons. He hides behind all the de foundations. He is a cancer !!!!

Sounds like a perfect opportunity for the Daily Beast, and Fox, to do some digging into Soros’ doings.

Soros supporters have been pushing the anti-Semitic smoke screen for years. Soros does not practice Judaism or promote any pro-Israel causes. It is just a way to get people to shut up by calling them an "anti-Semitic racist" rather than looking at the way Soros has used his wealth to promote anti-democratic revolutions around the world.

As most people (except this author) knows, George Soros is THE most anti-Semitic beast on planet earth nowadays. He's virulently anti-Israel and in his youth he turned in fellow Jews to the Nazis in order to save his own putrid skin.

It's daytime TV, so it's always a lefty leaning message being advanced.

One thing for sure if they were trashing Trump Fox would have allowed Newt to continue...Typical ...allowing dems to intimidate while turning a blind eye to Trump bashing.

Clearly, the political contributions and influence of George Soros are of great concern to a number of informed people including a former Speaker of the House. Why hasn’t the truth of Soros’ deliberate destructive meddling into the affairs of our country been thoroughly vetted and reported? The public must be accurately informed about Soros.

It'd be interesting to see if Tucker ever mentions Soros now.
