George Soros Blasts Donald Trump, Ted Cruz as Fearmongers

Share Print 0

Billionaire investor George Soros on Monday blasted Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz by name, accusing the pair and others of deliberately stoking terror fears.

In an op-ed article published in the Guardian newspaper, Soros, a major Democratic donor, argued that ISIS is operating from a position of weakness as its grip on its home territory weakens, but acknowledges that coming up with a resolution to the threat posed by terrorists and by the Syrian conflict isn’t easy.

“But one idea shines through crystal clear: it is an egregious mistake to do what the terrorists want us to do,” he wrote. “That is why, as 2016 gets underway, we must reaffirm our commitment to the principles of open society and resist the siren song of the likes of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, however hard that may be.”
