Hillary Clinton Tells Charles Koch To Take His Fake Endorsement And Shove It

Hillary Clinton told Charles Koch that she has no interest in endorsements from people who make deny climate science and make it harder for people to vote.

Hillary Clinton doesn’t want a fake pseudo-endorsement from a Koch brother. Koch’s comments should be viewed as an attempt to weaken Clinton’s support among Democrats. Clinton was correct. The Koch brothers are the biggest funders of the right’s effort to discredit climate science. The Koch brothers are also behind the movement to make it more difficult for people to vote.

Everyone knows that the Kochs can’t stand Donald Trump, but it will snow in hell before Charles or David Koch supports a Democrat. The Koch brothers will be running hundreds of millions of dollars of negative dark money ads against Hillary Clinton in the fall. Don’t be fooled by what Charles Koch says. Watch what the right-wing political operation that he is funding does.

Koch Brothers take one last desperate shot at conning progressives into believing Hillary’s a republican

http://www.dailynewsbin.com/opinion/koch-brothers-take-one-last-desperate-shot-at-conning-progressives-into-believing-hillarys-a-republican/24573/


Charles Koch, the billionaire who has teamed with his brother to fund the campaigns of numerous corrupt republicans over the years, is now suddenly offering the opinion that Hillary Clinton might be preferable to any of the 2016 republicans. The timing makes his motivation obvious.

Koch believes that by tentatively aligning himself with Hillary, the progressive voters will see it as evidence that she is indeed a “republican” herself, and perhaps punish her in the crucial April 26th voting states.

It won’t work, and moreover it shows how desperate the republicans have become.

By Charles Koch;
As he campaigns for the Democratic nomination for president, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) often sounds like he’s running as much against me as he is the other candidates. I have never met the senator, but I know from listening to him that we disagree on plenty when it comes to public policy.

Even so, I see benefits in searching for common ground and greater civility during this overly negative campaign season. That’s why, in spite of the fact that he often misrepresents where I stand on issues, the senator should know that we do agree on at least one — an issue that resonates with people who feel that hard work and making a contribution will no longer enable them to succeed.

The senator is upset with a political and economic system that is often rigged to help the privileged few at the expense of everyone else, particularly the least advantaged. He believes that we have a two-tiered society that increasingly dooms millions of our fellow citizens to lives of poverty and hopelessness. He thinks many corporations seek and benefit from corporate welfare while ordinary citizens are denied opportunities and a level playing field.

I agree with him.


If you need to push back, remind them that Charles Koch agrees Bernie in some things too.
