A leftist group that clearly identifies with anti-President Donald Trump activism is nonetheless using the taxpayer dollar — $20 million worth, in fact — to push forward its take-down Trump message.
The group’s called Make the Road New York, and it’s a New York City-based Latino immigration outlet that uses dues from its 19,000 members to fund activities — along with millions of dollars in government grants.
Protests at JFK airport in New York were funded in part by an anti-President Donald Trump group that’s tied to George Soros — and that’s received $20 million or so in government grants.
Look at this, from the Washington Free Beacon:
“Make the Road New York (MRNY), a New York City-based Latino immigrant group with 19,000 dues-paying members, has been actively involved with anti-Trump campaigns and is closely linked to an organization that is spearheading a new $80 million anti-Trump network that will span across 32 states.
“In addition to generous funding from liberal billionaire George Soros, MRNY has hauled in millions in government grants.
“From 2002 to 2007, MRNY recorded $1,372,440 in government grants on their Form 990s, an amount that averages $274,488 per year, with no grants in 2005. Government funding to the group sharply increased between 2008 and 2014, the last year a Form 990 is publicly available from the group.
“In 2008, MRNY’s taxpayer-funded grants rose above $1 million for the first time when the group pulled in $1,052,195 in grants. In 2009, the amount increased to $1,928,863. In 2010, MRNY was given $2,693,885. In 2011, the group pulled in $2,490,540. From 2012 to 2014, MRNY took in $10,996,247 in government grants.
