claim: George Soros is banned from several countries
evidence: A viral Facebook post shared over 16,000 times claims billionaire George Soros "has been banned from 6 countries including his country of birth." [...] In recent weeks, social media users have been sharing posts claiming the philanthropist has been "banned from six countries, including his country of birth." The claim appears to stem from an Oct. 1, 2019 YouTube video titled, "George Soros Now BANNED From 6 Nations," that was shared by conservative YouTuber and podcaster Dr. Steve Turley. In the video, Turley names the Philippines, Hungary, Russia, Turkey, Poland and Pakistan as the six countries that allegedly banned Soros. While some of his organizations are not allowed to operate in some of those countries, there is no evidence to suggest Soros himself has been banned from any of them. Laura Silber, the chief communications officer at OSF, said in an email to the Daily Caller News Foundation: "George Soros has not been banned from any country."
