Backers of anti-Israel radicals are funding Dem rival's Senate run, red-state Republican says

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, accused his Senate opponent, Democratic candidate Rep. Colin Allred of Texas, of being financially backed by the same powerful families who are supporting the anti-Israel and antisemitic demonstrations at universities across the country.

Between April 18 and May 3, police either arrested or detained more than 2,200 people on at least 49 college campuses during protests in 26 different states.

"Those protests are being funded by Joe Biden and the Democrats’ top donors," Cruz told Fox News Digital in an interview, saying Allred's donors — the Soros, Rockefeller, Pritzker, and Gates families — had also been either in the past or presently connected to organizations that are supporting the demonstrations against Israel.

"They’re being funded by George Soros and the Rockefeller brothers and Bill and Melinda Gates and the Pritzkers," he claimed.

Cruz continued, "Those folks are not just Joe Biden’s top donors. They’re among Colin Allred’s top donors."

"Colin Allred has accepted $80,000 from those donors that are funding the anti-Israel, antisemitic protests on college campuses," the Texas senator said.

Including both his congressional and Senate campaigns, associated committees and All In PAC, the four families have provided just under $80,000 to Allred's electoral efforts, as Cruz claimed.

Open Society, which was founded by Democratic megadonor George Soros and is chaired by his son Alexander Soros, said in a statement that they "fund an array of non-profit civil society groups across the United States that advocate for a fairer world."
