Kim then defended the funders indirectly. “The idea that people would be saying that this type of anger and this type of outrage – whether in New Jersey or in Minnesota – is being predominantly coordinated in this type of way, I just have to say it is delegitimizing the anger and the fear that people are facing right now,” he said. He further dismissed Republican inquiries as “dangerous.”
But Republican investigators are pushing back, and documents show exactly what Kim hoped would stay hidden. Seamus Bruner, vice president of the Government Accountability Institute, testified that the funding flows in “six-figure checks” from networks including the Soros Network, Arabella, and billionaire Neville Roy Singham.
Singham, 71, sold his IT company for $785 million in 2017, relocated to Shanghai, and now operates near Chinese state media offices. His network has funneled over $250 million to far-left organizations like The People’s Forum, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and the ANSWER Coalition, all of which mobilized anti-ICE protests immediately after the Minneapolis shootings.
House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith warned that Singham is “as close to the Chinese Communist Party as any American possibly can.” Congress has subpoenaed him, but Singham remains beyond U.S. legal reach in China. Andy Kim, however, claims publicizing the connection is the real problem.
Democrats have played defense like this before. Texas Rep. Julie Johnson used the same language last December to explain attacks on ICE officers, describing the violence as Americans “channeling their frustration” rather than criminal acts. In 2024, the ACLU echoed similar talking points when Pelosi sought FBI investigations into Gaza protests for Russian influence, arguing that foreign influence claims could suppress free speech.
The pattern is clear: whenever investigations target foreign-funded left-wing violence, Democrats argue it’s an attack on authentic protest, conveniently ignoring the money trail that leads straight to Shanghai and Beijing.
Republican witnesses testified that billionaires with foreign ties, including Singham and Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss, pumped $60 million into anti-ICE agitation. Singham is a self-proclaimed Marxist who funded revolutionary groups in Detroit in the 1970s, and then leveraged his American-made fortune to bankroll anti-capitalist, pro-Chinese campaigns abroad.
As The People’s Forum publicly called him “their Marxist comrade” on social media in 2021, the connections are overt — yet Democrats resist making the link public.
Kim’s argument collapses under scrutiny. If the protests are truly organic, discovering that foreign adversaries bankroll them should heighten concern, not diminish it. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed agents are investigating organizers and funders who impede law enforcement and endanger communities.
Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna successfully pushed to subpoena Singham, and even then-Senator Marco Rubio had previously referred him for Foreign Agents Registration Act violations. Every inquiry points to the same conclusion: these protests are not spontaneous American uprisings, but coordinated campaigns financed from Shanghai to disrupt U.S. law enforcement.
Kim’s reaction, attacking investigations before the network could be fully exposed, underscores a disturbing pattern: Democrats prioritizing the narrative of “organic anger” over uncovering foreign-funded interference on American streets.
