Soros-Tied Group Run by Top Dem Operatives Promotes Global Leftist Agenda

Another influential group aiming to spread leftist billionaire George Soros' radical global agenda has popped up in the United States.

It's called the Transatlantic Democracy Working Group and it is an offshoot of the Soros-funded German Marshall Fund, a liberal foreign policy think tank based in Washington D.C. The TDWG is operated by dozens of former senior government bureaucrats, national security experts and human rights advocates, including former Obama administration officials and staff members of Democratic politicians.

The group has been highly critical of the Trump administration's foreign policy and has used its podcast to promote Soros' Open Society Foundations.

Of particular interest to the TDWG have been Hungarian and Polish initiatives to combat the influence of Soros and his generously funded OSF. One of the policy statements posted on the TDWG's website specifically deals with Orbán's successful effort to expel Soros' Central European University from Budapest.

The statement, whose signatories include Corke, Eisen, and several former State Department officials, alleges that Hungary's, "Campaign against the CEU is a highly symbolic move against a vital institution founded to promote the transatlantic values of democracy, openness, and equality of opportunity." In her November 2019 Congressional testimony, Corke claimed that Orbán, "Relied on one tired trick in particular, one that served as a dog whistle for the far right; he used the spectral image of George Soros, using anti-Semitic tropes, as the ultimate bogeyman to stir up fear of migrants and other non-Christians." Orbán counters that it has nothing to do with Soros' religion or background.

The Hungarian prime minister assures a migration crisis in the Balkans was organized by the Soros network.

Soros' OSF donated between $100,000 and $250,000 to the German Marshall Fund in 2019, records obtained by Judicial Watch show.
