(Jewish Group) Sen. Tom Cotton accuses Soros-funded think tank of fostering anti-Semitism
Sen. Tom Cotton accused the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, a new think tank funded by the billionaires George Soros and Charles Koch, of fostering anti-Semitism in speech on the Senate floor on Wednesday.
Cotton, R-Ark., referred to anti-Semitism as an “ancient hatred” and referenced recent attacks against Jews in Brooklyn and Monsey.
“[Anti-Semitism] festers in Washington think tanks like the Quincy Institute, an isolationist blame America first money pit for so-called ‘scholars’ who’ve written that American foreign policy could be fixed if only it were rid of the malign influence of Jewish money,” he said in remarks quoted prior to the speech by Jewish Insider.
The Washington, D.C.-based institute was founded in 2019 and seeks to “lay the foundation for a new foreign policy centered on diplomatic engagement and military restraint.” Soros has donated in large numbers to liberal political causes, while Koch has donated to conservative ones.
