Vice President Vance's Promises to "Go After" Left-Leaning Organizations
In a recent interview with Politico, Vice President Vance made bold promises to "go after" left-leaning organizations, specifically targeting the Ford Foundation and Open Society Foundations, run by George Soros. This statement has sparked controversy and raised concerns about potential political targeting and interference with non-profit organizations.
The Ford Foundation's History of Progressive Funding
Founded in 1936, the Ford Foundation has a long history of funding progressive causes and organizations. Their mission is to "reduce poverty and injustice, strengthen democratic values, promote international cooperation, and advance human achievement." This has led to significant contributions to social justice movements, environmental initiatives, and education programs.
The Open Society Foundations and Its Global Impact
Founded in 1979 by George Soros, the Open Society Foundations has supported numerous human rights and social justice initiatives globally. Their efforts have ranged from combating human rights violations in Eastern Europe to promoting democracy and good governance in developing countries. The foundation's global reach and influence have made it a target for political backlash.
