Billionaire George Soros, known for his left-leaning views, has reportedly been financially supporting TikTok influencers to promote President Joe Biden’s agenda to a younger audience, as revealed in a recent report.
During the year 2022, a number of Generation Z TikTok activists received payments totaling at least $300,000 from Soros to advocate for the Democratic Party’s progressive “woke” policies.
According to information from the New York Post, these influential social media personalities were compensated for creating content that expressed support for President Biden and advanced a left-wing political agenda.
Publicly available financial documents indicate that Soros’ Open Society Foundations contributed $5.5 million to Accelerate Action Inc. in both 2020 and 2021. Accelerate Action Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing innovative methods of civic engagement, particularly within communities of color.
In 2022, Accelerate Action Inc. allocated a minimum of $300,000 to Gen-Z for Change, a nonprofit formerly known as TikTok for Biden. Notably, the reviewed tax records indicate that Accelerate Action was the sole nonprofit organization that provided financial assistance to Gen-Z for Change.
Gen-Z for Change, as described on its website, is a collective of young activists who leverage online platforms to bring about positive social change. They utilize social media to drive progressive initiatives and hold those in positions of power accountable.
Gen-Z for Change actively encourages young voters to support the Democratic Party’s progressive platform, which includes policies such as universal healthcare, the forgiveness of outstanding medical debts, the implementation of red flag laws concerning firearm ownership, and the abolition of voter ID laws.
These young activists also advocate for extending asylum to all refugees, dismantling the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), defunding the police, and ending the practice of cash bail.
Furthermore, the group campaigns against conservative efforts to ban curricula related to Marxist Critical Race Theory (CRT) in public schools.
“Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin created a tipline for teachers, including ‘critical race theory,’ in their curriculum,” the group boasted.
“Critical race theory, a sociological framework, is weaponized by Republicans to sensationalize a huge nothing-burger.
“Simply put, Republicans do not want an accurate depiction of race relations in the United States.
“So, to avoid making teachers’ jobs more difficult, and to troll bigoted Republicans, we created code that people could use to spam the tiplines with lyrics of songs or whatever they imagined.”
In the previous year, the Biden administration provided information to Generation Z TikTok users regarding the nation’s ongoing involvement in the Ukraine conflict. Additionally, they extended an invitation to the White House for these users to witness President Biden signing the Inflation Reduction Act into law.
The means by which the group has utilized George Soros’ funding remains uncertain, as reported by the Post.
Republican Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY) responded to Soros’ attempts to influence young individuals, expressing her concerns to the media outlet.
“George Soros is funding the next generation of far-left activists on a platform that is beholden to the [Chinese Communist Party],” she told the Post.
An Open Society Foundations spokesperson responded to the findings by claiming that the actions of Soros and his organization are for the benefit of the American people.
“We believe that more, rather than fewer, voters, including among younger and historically marginalized communities, should be empowered to participate in America’s democracy through free and fair elections,” the spokesperson told the Post.
“We’re proud to support organizations working with new technologies to spur civic participation and help enable more inclusive, just, and open societies.”
