Part 6/11:
In response to rising politically motivated violence, efforts to dismantle the financial infrastructure behind riots are underway. Senator Ted Cruz has introduced the Stop Funders Act, seeking to classify riot funding as part of racketeering under RICO statutes. This legislation aims to target groups supported by figures like George Soros, who has been accused of funding protests and riots across the country.
Cruz advocates for "following the money" to hold accountable those who finance turmoil and violence. He emphasizes that by addressing the financial backing of extremist groups, the Department of Justice could significantly curtail the capacity for organized political violence.
