Cavuto’s Inquiry and Mace’s Response

She expressed concern over the involvement of pro-Palestine groups, alleging financial backing from George Soros.
Contesting Claims

Criticism from Jewish Democrats
House Speaker Mike Johnson faced criticism from Jewish Democrats for suggesting Soros’s involvement in the protests. Rep. Jerry Nadler condemned Johnson’s remarks as perpetuating anti-Semitic tropes.
Conclusion
The debate highlights the contentious discourse surrounding the funding of pro-Palestine protests and underscores the need for evidence-based assertions in political discussions.
