EXCLUSIVE: ‘Next George Soros’ Recruiting Republican Lobbyists for Influence
A company run by a liberal billionaire dubbed by some as the “next George Soros” employs former senior Republican staffers on Capitol Hill in what a watchdog group warns is an effort to sway GOP lawmakers to move to the left.
Arnold Ventures LLC is a private company founded by left-leaning philanthropists John Arnold and his wife Laura, who have a net worth of $3.3 billion, according to Forbes.
Arnold Ventures says it focuses on issues such as criminal justice reform, prescription drug prices, contraception, and tax policy geared at “minimizing injustice.”
Most prominently, Arnold Ventures employs three well-connected Republicans:
—George Callas, who was a senior staffer for former House Speaker Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin Republican who was the GOP’s 2012 vice presidential nominee.
—Kevin Ring, a former staffer for the Republican Study Committee, the caucus of House conservatives, who authored books on the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, a conservative icon, and was convicted in a corruption scandal.
—Andrew Moylan, who formerly worked for two conservative-leaning organizations, the National Taxpayers Union and R Street Institute.
These individuals are “rent-a-Repub” for Arnold Ventures, said Thomas Jones, president of the American Accountability Foundation, a conservative watchdog group.
“This is a new level of sophistication of lobbying by mega-liberal billionaires,” Jones told The Daily Signal.
“John Arnold has enlisted Republicans with a dump truck full of cash,” he said. “I don’t think the institutional Left has tried this before.”

Either has the institutional right tried it on the left.
That’s because corrupting people into turning virtuous has a notoriously bad track record.
I first heard of this guy while researching some other issue and thought at the time that he was like Soros, appears to be cut from the same cloth, though he is not, as far as I know, associated with Nazis..
he didnt even need to use cash
just the fear of calling them racists would have them on board
Corrupting RINOs is about as difficult as persuading kids to eat candy.
