Scott Murphy’s third biggest donor? George Soros and China!

By Sam Foster

I was aware that Dan Maffei had been the beneficiary of radical leftist George Soros, but not Scott Murphy.  Then, when looking at a recent press release by Chris Gibson's campaign, I noticed that J Street PAC was Murphy's third largest donor with over $41,000 in donations.

Conservative blogger Yid with Lid released the details last month showing a copy of J Street's tax filing with George Soros as one of the top donors; a third of their revenues to be exact.

Streets leader, Jeremy Ben-Ami has always claimed that Soros gave the group some start-up money, but has not received any money since.  That was a lie.

Tax forms I provided to Mr. Lake, reveal that Mr. Soros and his two children, Jonathan and Andrea Soros, contributed a total $245,000 to J Street from one Manhattan address in New York during the fiscal year from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009 (see the document embedded below: page 13)

Soro's contributions represent a third of the group's revenue from U.S. sources during the period. Another donor, named Consolacion Esdicul. provided nearly half of J-Streets revenues during the period.

The billionaire George Soros is certainly not representative of NY 20^th congressional district, nor their small businesses.  In fact, in an interview, George Soros claimed that he was having a wonderful crisis, while the US economy tanked.

What's worse?  The other major donor to J Street is China.  Last time I checked, China was also not representative of NY-20.

It all fits in line with the fact that Scott Murphy is the number one leadership PAC recipient.  So much for your Washington outsider image Scott!
