Left-Wing Donors Behind ProPublica Funds Attacks on Conservative Supreme Court Justices

The Epoch Times Header

A nonprofit news outlet, ProPublica, which has been launching personal attacks on two conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices, is being funded by the same left-wing organization that has been actively pushing for their removal.

ProPublica has written multiple stories about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomasโ€™ alleged ethics violations while receiving donations from the same groups that are actively campaigning for the justice to resign or be removed from the Court, according to tax documents reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation on June 20.

The Sandler Foundation is the left-wing nonprofit accused of pouring millions into multiple groups attacking Thomasโ€™ character, as well as supporting the attacks on his colleague, Justice Samuel Alito, as part of a wider effort to marginalize conservatives on the Supreme Court.

The organization founded ProPublica in 2007 and has given the outlet $40 million since 2010 to keep it afloat.

That same organization has been funding dark-money groups, which have been seeking to oust Thomas from the Court for years to replace him with a leftist.

ProPublica Caught Participating in a Conspiracy to Remove Justice Thomas

ProPublica has published several investigations over the past few months into Thomasโ€™ relationship with an old friend, the conservative billionaire real estate developer Harlan Crow, which the publication called inappropriate.

The paper wrote about several expensive trips Thomas took with Crow, the developerโ€™s purchase of the home of the justiceโ€™s mother, and paying for the private school tuition of Thomasโ€™ grandnephew.

The stories have often included quotes from activists belonging to the various groups that took millions from The Sandler Foundation, reported the Daily Caller.

Several of ProPublicaโ€™s top donors were exposed as being major financial supporters of the left-wing groups attacking Thomas, such as those calling for an ethics investigation into his private life, based on the series of articles over his finances.

The Sandler Foundation was also behind the launch and/or funding of other left-wing groups, like The Center for American Progress, the ACLU, Human Rights Watch, and Sierra Club, according to itsย website.
