The state of Utah has been, for a long time, considered a conservative stronghold. But in recent years, Democrats have targeted it for flipping. As in many other red states, liberals are trying to make it purple, pushing increasingly progressive policies from within.
One of the state’s Senate seats is up for grabs this November. Mitt Romney, who was censured by the state’s GOP, announced he was not running for reelection. This is a prime opportunity for Democrats to grab yet another seat.
Republicans will have to work hard to secure this Senate seat. But one of the Republicans running might not be as “MAGA” as he claims. Researchers have dug up connections from his past. And voters might be worried about his association with one big globalist.
From Fox News:
A Republican running to replace Mitt Romney as Utah’s junior senator kept ties to a group partially funded by liberal billionaire George Soros and where Hunter Biden served as a board member, a Fox News analysis has found.Trent Staggs… previously served on the Utah Advisory Committee for the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC)…
According to the Open Society Foundations network, Soros’ network of nonprofits through which he finances his political agenda, it has given nearly $1.2 million to the USGLC since 2017.
Trent Staggs is the Republican mayor of Riverton, Utah. He is running to take over Mitt Romney’s Senate seat. And it has come to light that he once served on a committee for the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition.
This is a coalition of companies and non-government groups, some of which promote liberal policies. George Soros’s Open Society Foundations has donated over $1 million to this group. This happened while Staggs served on this committee.
On top of this, Hunter Biden served on USGLC’s board of directors from 2012 to 2018. During this time, he lobbied for more spending by the government on Ukraine, while he was also on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings.
It is questionable what the USGLC’s ultimate goals are. It received money from the liberal donor and globalist George Soros. The group made Hunter Biden a member of its board, while he lobbied in what can be considered a conflict of interest.
What was Staggs’ role in this group? Did he support the liberal-leaning, globalist policies? Perhaps he will have to explain his connection with this group before voters back him.
Key Takeaways:
- A Republican running for Senate served on a board with ties to George Soros.
- The group also put Hunter Biden on the board of directors, where he lobbied for Ukraine.
- Trent Staggs is running to take over Mitt Romney’s Utah Senate seat.
