VIDEO: Democrat Socialist Andrew Gillum backed by billionaires Soros and Steyer

In a Brietbart article titled “Andrew Gillum ‘Deeply Appreciative’ of Money From George Soros, Tom Steyer” Trent Baker reports:

Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Florida Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum thanked left-wing billionaires George Soros and Tom Steyer for their support in funding his campaign, saying he is “deeply appreciative” of the money received.

“You ran as an unabashed progressive Democrat. You’re for Medicare for all, you talk about getting rid of ICE and some things there, but I’m curious, one of the things, you were supported by two billionaires who came in and helped your campaign and largely your campaign early on was funded by them, George Soros and Tom Steyer. How do you square sort of a populist progressive campaign that wants to get big money, you know among other things, get big money out of politics, get dark money out of politics, and yet it’s billionaires that have to prop up your campaign?” host Chuck Todd asked.

Well, I’ll tell you I’m obviously deeply appreciative of Mr. Soros, as well as Mr. Steyer, both men who I’ve known them for some time,” Gillum replied. “But the truth is, Chuck, that our campaign was propped up by a lot of small contributions including my mother, who was on auto deduct of $20 a month into our campaign.” [Emphasis added]

A new Gallop Poll revealed that more Democrats have a positive view about socialism than those who express a positive view about capitalism. Gallop found:

For the first time in Gallup’s measurement over the past decade, Democrats have a more positive image of socialism than they do of capitalism. Attitudes toward socialism among Democrats have not changed materially since 2010, with 57% today having a positive view. The major change among Democrats has been a less upbeat attitude toward capitalism, dropping to 47% positive this year — lower than in any of the three previous measures. Republicans remain much more positive about capitalism than about socialism, with little sustained change in their views of either since 2010.

The following are the Gallop Poll numbers:

  • 47% of Democrats view capitalism positively, down from 56% in 2016
  • 57% of Democrats now view socialism positively, little changed from 2010
  • Republicans very positive about capitalism; 16% positive on socialism
