Rep. Schiff Says Republicans Have Issue With Soros Because Of His Jewish Faith

Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" with Jake Tapper on Sunday to discuss the mass shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Republican criticisms of "billionaire financier" and Democratic donor George Soros. Schiff said that he believes "most of" the criticism of Soros is anti-Semitic, including the theory that Soros is funding the caravan approaching the United States from the southern border.

"George Soros is a billionaire financier. Someone in the political arena that opens themselves up to criticism. Do you think all the criticism coming from the right about George Soros, all of it, is anti-Semitic? Some of it? How do you view it?" Tapper asked.

"I don't know if I can say all of it," Schiff responded. "Some may have an issue with his Open Society Organization or foundation. But I think much of it, most of it," he continued before being cut off by the beginning of the Pittsburgh press conference on the shooting.
