Soros Not Funding Kasich PAC

A TV ad financed by a super PAC supporting Sen. Ted Cruz falsely claimed that Democratic donor George Soros gave “hundreds of thousands of dollars” to Republican Ohio Gov. John Kasich. 

The ad was pulled from the air and has been revised. The ad now uses guilt by association to link Kasich to Soros, claiming instead that Kasich got “hundreds of thousands of dollar from George Soros cronies” because two former employees of Soros have contributed to New Day for America, the super PAC backing Kasich for president. 

For more about the ad and the former Soros executives who contributed to the pro-Kasich super PAC, please see our item “Soros Not Funding Kasich PAC.”
