Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe accepted a $250,000 contribution from liberal megadonor George Soros, who has spent at least $1 million to support defunding police.

Soros sent McAuliffe a quarter of a million dollars on Aug. 17, the former governor's latest campaign finance report shows. Just months earlier, the progressive billionaire gave $1 million to Color Of Change PAC, a "racial justice" group that has called policing "a violent institution that must end" and works to "[divest] from and [dismantle] the systems that unjustly harm Black people."

Soros's contribution could provide a political headache for McAuliffe, who has faced criticism from both GOP opponent Glenn Youngkin and local sheriffs over his ties to the movement to defund the police. After McAuliffe said he was "proud" to receive an endorsement from prominent anti-law enforcement group New Virginia Majority, he faced pushback from Montgomery County sheriff Hank Partin at a September forum. When Partin questioned if McAuliffe supports defunding police, the Democrat asked Partin if he was "out of his mind," an answer the sheriff called "unbelievable." 

"I don't care what you believe!" McAuliffe responded.:snip:
