DeSantis Didn’t Just Suspend Soros-Funded Prosecutor, He Sent the Police to Evict Him from Office

Earlier this year, when New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul was frustrated with progressive Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg — one of many criminal justice reformers whose campaigns were funded by billionaire financier and activist George Soros — she sat him down for a stern talking-to.

Part of the problem was that Bragg had made it clear he wasn’t going to enforce many of the city’s laws after his election in 2021, as City Journal’s Thomas Hogan noted.

“Who goes to jail on Bragg’s watch?” he wrote. “Virtually no one. The only people Bragg recommends for pretrial detention and later prison sentences are murderers, shooters who actually cause serious injuries — firing 50 shots down a crowded street won’t get you locked up if you don’t hit anybody — sex offenders, and perpetrators of specific offenses such as domestic violence or public corruption.”
