The tragic murder of InfoWars reporter Jamie White in Austin has sparked heated controversy over city crime policies. InfoWars founder Alex Jones has ignited further debate by explicitly blaming Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza and billionaire George Soros for creating conditions that led to White’s death. How has George Soros’s funding influenced district attorney elections across America?
InfoWars Reporter’s Death Sparks Outrage
Jamie White, a reporter for InfoWars, was found with obvious signs of trauma outside his apartment on Douglas Street in south Austin around midnight Sunday. The Austin Police Department officers who responded to the scene transported White to a local hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries, marking the eighth homicide in Austin this year.
InfoWars founder Alex Jones immediately directed blame at Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza and billionaire George Soros in an emotional statement. “I lay all of this squarely at the feet of Soros and of the sort of crime syndicate of the Democratic Party. They are the ones that administratively cut the police, prosecuted the police, and even cases that are hundred percent clear to be lawful, legal activities,” Jones stated.
Conflicting Narratives Emerge
While Jones suggested the murder might have been targeted due to White’s work with InfoWars, the victim’s sister, Kelly Kneale, has offered a different perspective. According to Kneale, the attack is believed to have been random and occurred during an attempted car break-in, contradicting speculation about a politically motivated killing.
The apartment complex where White was found was cordoned off with crime scene tape as investigators gathered evidence. The Austin Police Department has not identified any suspects or commented on possible political connections to the case, maintaining that the investigation remains in its early stages.
DA’s Policies Under Scrutiny
Critics have pointed to Garza’s policies since he became District Attorney in 2021 as a factor in Austin’s rising violent crime rates. Garza’s campaign received financial support from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, which has backed progressive prosecutors across the country who advocate for criminal justice reform.
Jones claimed that Austin police officers and detectives are frustrated with Garza’s approach to law enforcement, suggesting a breakdown in the criminal justice system. In a statement, InfoWars expressed that they are “deeply saddened to inform you that InfoWars Reporter Jamie White was brutally murdered around midnight Sunday night due, in part, to the policies of the Soros Austin, TX, D.A. Jose Garza.”
The murder investigation continues as authorities work to identify suspects and determine the exact circumstances surrounding White’s death. InfoWars has pledged to honor White’s memory by continuing his work and fighting for justice, describing him as “one of the most amazing people” and “a great reporter and researcher” who contributed significantly to the organization.
