Companies like Bank of America's, Fidelity Investments', and Charles Schwab Corporation's money went to AGJ to be funneled to violent groups like Refuse Fascism, do they condone violence like that which occurred in Berkley?
Do Bank of America, Fidelity, and Schwab support the Berkeley violence?
A group called
Refuse Fascism is taking responsibility for the
violence unleashed in Berkeley last Wednesday during a protest over a scheduled speech by conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos. The group
defended the violence (without calling it violence, of course) and called for more such action to shut down other conservative speakers.
Building on the original research of
Capital Research Center, the Daily Caller
reported that Resist Fascism is funded, at least in part, by the left-wing Alliance For Global Justice (AGJ). AGJ has received $50,000 funding from the Tides Foundation and $100,000 from the Open Society Institute, both backed by George Soros.
AGJ has also received money from corporate foundations, including $10,000 from the
Bank of America Charitable Foundation, $5,000 from the
Bank of America Charitable Gift Fund, $119,000 from the
Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund, and $21,100 from the
Schwab Charitable Fund.
Now that esteemed companies like Bank of America, Fidelity Investments, and Charles Schwab Corporation know that the money they give to AGJ can be funneled to violent groups like Refuse Fascism, do they condone violence like that which occurred in Berkeley?
Do they approve of mobs that prevent conservative speakers from being heard?
And, if they don’t, will they stop funding AGJ?
