Right-wing conspiracy theorists claim George Soros is funding and profiting from recent protests in the United States

There is no evidence to prove George Soros is funding recent protests and riots across the United States.

There is no evidence to prove George Soros is funding recent protests and riots across the United States.Right-wing conspiracy theorists are increasingly claiming that George Soros, a Hungarian-American billionaire, and philanthropist is responsible for funding the recent protests and riots across the United States. The protests erupted after the aftermath of George Floyd's murder by the police. According to the Anti-Defamation League, negative tweets regarding George Soros has increased from 20,000 per day on May 26 to 500,000 per day on May 30.

The posts allege that Soros is funding riots across the country and backing Antifa, whom President Donald Trump has blamed for the riots, once again without evidence. Prominent Trump supporters like Candace Owens and James Woods are among the people posting about this.

Soros funds a variety of liberal causes in the United States, yet, there has been no evidence linking him to the recent protests.
