It's claimed that Soros' foundation may have fueled the riot with $33 million paid to BLM.

"Soros’ Open Society Foundations has indeed provided cash to activists linked with the Black Lives Matter movement – although the organization has long maintained that they “don’t fund protests, per se.”
Protests erupted in Minneapolis after a brutal police arrest reportedly led to the death of an unarmed black man, George Floyd. Although initial demonstrations were largely peaceful, Minneapolis has seen two nights of rioting. During a press conference on Thursday, the city’s police chief said that “many of the people involved in the criminal conduct last night were not known Minneapolitans to them” and were “not recognized as being from the city.”
A police precinct headquarters was set ablaze on Thursday night, after law enforcement abandoned their position. The Minnesota National Guard has been deployed to the area, purportedly to assist the city’s fire department as they battle fires set by rioters. US President Donald Trump has warned that he could send in the military if order is not restored."

Eyeroll no.

Anarchist thugs need no motivation to come riot.

At this point it appears unclear how much rioting is local thugs vs ones coming in. Those crossing state lines should face fed charges and LONG sentences.

By WHOM?

HINT: "May have fueled" pretty much calls that allegation's credibility into heavy question from the get go.

Soros has four "foundations" that he uses to push his agenda. He's just another globalist billionaire white guy using racial division and playing the protestors like pawns to further enrich himself.
"By whom?" The internet is at your fingertips, there have been many cases since Trumps election where violent protestors were discovered to be from out of town/state and in the same timeframe, one of Soros foundations had "donated" money to the group represented by these protestors.

Of course the original allegation is nothing but speculation but never waste an opportunity to smear someone you dislike, warranted or not, eh? A play straight from the Trump playbook.

He's a billionaire globalist. He makes money through the outsourcing of US goods and services.....his media outlets.....and probably "donations" to his foundations from multiple Chinese and Democrat sources. I'd love to see an investigation and audit of his cashflow.
I despised this man even when I was a blue voter.
