Justin Ruhge's letter, "Foreign Influence in the 24th," casts aspersions on our congressional representative, Salud Carbajal, for receiving foreign financial support from George Soros and his son Jonathan Soros. As a matter of public record, George Soros became a naturalized American citizen on December 18, 1961. Jonathan Soros was born in the U.S. on September 10, 1970. Both gentlemen are clearly American citizens, and any political contributions that they make are clearly not "foreign."
One may disagree with the two men's politics and whom they support, but criticism based upon false allegations is clearly misleading.
As his letter indicates, Ruhge thinks of Hollywood and Soros father-and-son as foreign, but that does not make it so. Moreover, his allusion to George Soros's "foreign money" supporting Carbajal is little more that a dog-whistle to the broad smear of Soros by right-wing alt-media types such as Dinesh D'Souza, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, Ann Coulter, etc. All of them have portrayed George Soros as a member of Hitler's Nazi troops, allegations that have been proven patently false.
