Hypocrisy Alert: Tom Perriello Accepts Hundreds of Thousands from George Soros While Bemoaning Big Money In Politics

Democrat candidate for Virginia governor Tom Perriello has claimed he opposes the influence of big money in Virginia politics, calling it “hugely problematic” in an interview last month. But this hasn’t stopped the failed former congressman from accepting large contributions from infamous liberal billionaires like George Soros. This morning, the Washington Post reported that not only did Perriello take half a million dollars from a single Democrat donor to start his campaign, but he has also taken over $375,000 from George Soros and his son.

This is another example of Tom Perriello saying one thing to voters but doing the opposite for the sake of political convenience. As University of Virginia political analyst Larry Sabato recently noted, “Perriello is obviously more than willing to present himself as whatever he needs to be at any given gathering.” This kind of hypocrisy is not what Virginians deserve in their next governor.
