The son of America's least favorite Bond Villain, who bought the Democrats a while back and seems reluctant to give up on his investment, is an odd choice for a "progressive" who claims to be independent. If you're putting an endorsement from Soros or one of his spawn on your site, that's as good as showing off your collar and leash.
But that's just what Keith Ellison's site does, touting the backing of Alex Soros.
Alex Soros is a guy with a lot of money because his father has a lot of money... often controversially gained. If the left walked the walk, it wouldn't let George Soros or any of his trustafarians in the door. But here's Keith Ellison touting the support of a guy whose progressive credential is daddy's money.
But Alex Soros is now the power behind Bend the Arc along with an anti-Israel activist. He authored an op-ed insisting that Jews don't really care about Israel. You can see why that would be music to Keith Ellison's ears. It's hard to know who hates Israel and Jews more, George Soros or Keith Ellison.
