FAKE OFF

No trace of this interview can be found on the website of the German newspaper. A Bild spokesperson explains to 20 Minutes that no interview with George Soros was published in the newspaper or on the newspaper's website in September 2014. He adds that he “can't find this quote” in d other interviews or articles in Bild about George Soros.

The Open Society Foundations, founded by George Soros, also refute the authenticity of the content of this meme. "This quote is completely fabricated," says a spokesperson at 20 Minutes . "George Soros has dedicated his philanthropic career alongside communities of [people of color] to seek justice," she adds.
