Several Texas Republicans under fire for posts suggesting George Soros link to George Floyd protests
Multiple Republican officials in Texas are under fire for social media posts suggesting George Soros is behind the protests sparked by the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.
The Texas Tribune reported that Sue Piner, the chair of the Republican party in Comal County, shared a post on Facebook last week with an image of Soros alongside text that read: “I pay white cops to murder black people. And then I pay black people to riot because race wars keep the sheep in line.”
Sid Miller, the Texas Agriculture Commissioner, has also posted about Soros multiple times in the last two weeks, including a May 31 Facebook post claiming that protesters are “domestic terrorists who were organized and paid for by George Soros to further divide our country.”
Lynne Teinert, the party chair in Shackelford County, shared a picture of Soros alongside this: “The pandemic isn’t working. Start the racial wars.”

According to the Anti-Defamation League, “aggressive language towards Soros has exploded on social media” since the protests in the wake of Floyd’s death erupted across the country. Negative tweets about the billionaire Jewish philanthropist — many spouting anti-Semitic tropes — rose from 20,000 per day on May 26 to 500,000 per day on May 30.
