Democrat Steve Descano accused an official in Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s (R-VA) administration of trafficking in antisemitism earlier this month. The official had stated that Descano, the Fairfax County commonwealth’s attorney, was a George Soros-funded prosecutor.
Descano denied that Soros funded his campaign, but the official, Virginia’s Deputy Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security Maggie Cleary, was correct. Descano received $601,369 of his 2019 campaign donations, nearly two-thirds of his entire campaign contributions, from the Justice and Public Safety PAC, a Soros-funded organization promoting progressive criminal justice reform.
