Congress Calls for an Investigation of George Soros: Is The Billionaire Trying to Force Countries to Abandon Their Religious Beliefs?

Jenna Browder : Mar 13, 2017  CBN News

"When you have leaders from other countries say, 'your government is saying they'll help us but we have to pass same-sex marriage laws, we have to pay for abortions,' that's when you know the United States is no longer deserving of God's blessing because we're out trying to force countries to abandon their religious beliefs." -Rep. Louie Gohmert, (R) Texas

(Washington, DC)—[CBN News] Billionaire George Soros has long been accused of meddling in European politics, and now American lawmakers are demanding answers over reports (that) United States tax dollars are going to help fund some of his liberal causes in the small, conservative country of Macedonia.

Seven congressmen want to know why the U.S. Ambassador to Macedonia Jess Baily, appointed by Barack Obama, chose Soros' Open Society Foundation as the main implementer of U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) projects in that country.

The lawmakers include Rep. Christopher Smith, R-NJ, Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-IL, Rep. Robert Aderholt, R-AL, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-TX, Rep. Robert Pittenger, R-NC, Rep. Jeff Fortenberry R-NE, and Trent Franks, R-AZ.

In January they wrote a letter to Baily detailing their concern.

"I have received credible reports that, over the past few years, the U.S. Mission to Macedonia has actively intervened in the party politics of Macedonia, as well as the shaping of its media environment and civil society, often favoring groups of one political persuasion over another," wrote Rep. Smith.

The State Department responded, explaining in another letter that grants were awarded through a "competitive procurement process." The letter also stated that the Mission has worked to advance U.S. interests "in a non-biased, non-partisan, objective and transparent manner."

The vague response prompted the congressmen to ask the Government Accountability Office and Inspector General for a full investigation.

"When you have leaders from other countries say, 'your government is saying they'll help us but we have to pass same-sex marriage laws, we have to pay for abortions,' that's when you know the United States is no longer deserving of God's blessing because we're out trying to force countries to abandon their religious beliefs," Gohmert said.

The conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch is also doing an investigation of its own.

In a news release, it lists some important facts and figures like USAID allocating about $5 million to left-wing Soros groups in Macedonia since 2012.
