Can you provide a source on your comments about Soros? I've seen this mentioned a few times over the years but I had also heard that it was taken out of context or that he had misspoken and later retracted. Would like to see the primary source if you have it

Snopes has a great write up on it that points to primary sources, including a “60 Minutes” interview.

The tl;dr is that such accusations are weird, false, propaganda about Soros.

The TLDR version is there are many legitimate criticisms of Soros, but anyone using his wartime experiences as a kid forced to conceal his identity to avoid the holocaust to invoke "rapacious Jewish financier" tropes is exactly the sort of human excrement that would have cheerfully joined the SS themselves...
