Lefty causes on Charles Baker charity list
GOP gubernatorial candidate Charles Baker runs a charity that's funded ultraliberal outfits which have fought for tuition breaks and driver's licenses for illegals, accused American soldiers of torture and blamed Israel for "genocide" in Palestine, a Herald review found...
They're talking about MIRA, Physicians for Human Rights and the Haymarket People's Fund which in turn funds the Somerville Divestment Project. It's pretty minor stuff for a guy in charge of a big fund, but there's really no reason for any of these groups to get money at all. A bit embarrassing for a Republican candidate, but not much more than that. Be careful what you sign off on while accepting those board chairmanships (in this case The Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation). It's not all fun and cocktails.
I'm just glad to see that the SDP is still radioactive.
