"TEA Party founder?"
yeah, that was my question.
Besides, I thought the Kock brothers were rightwing extremists, etc, etc.
The msm is twisting itself in knots (nots?) again.

Dhimmi moron Charles Koch hasn’t been mowed down yet by Islamic terrorists.
Look at how well Justin Trudeau’s approach is working out for Canada.
Islam is the problem.

Shut up, Koch. You’re starting to act like your late aunt Ilsa!
Any unusual lamps at home?

The Tea Party was founded in 1773. Koch must be a lot older than I thought.

I don’t think he’s even *involved* with the Tea Party.
Usually, the UK press does not get it so wrong.

Nobody is the Tea Party “Founder”. Maybe Samuel Adams or Rick Santelli. So Koch can shut up.

To my knowledge Rick Santelli launched the tea party movement.
To: facedown
Frankly, I’m so tired of these people popping up out of the woodwork and glomming onto a sentiment that isn’t described by some formal “Tea Party” group. There are MANY, and there are good and bad. Most all of them beg for money and I don’t see much ‘sentiment’ return on those dollars. One of my own opinions about Tea Party Patriots originally out of Georgia doesn’t pass my smell test. IMO, it and its co-founder stink to high heaven.
I give money to candidates, period.....I don’t give it to some potential fly-by-night huckster glom-on trying to make a buck out of the new fad.

More like jumping in front of a parade and playing a leader.

Oh yeah. This is the new tactic. Liberal led “conservative” groups condemning Trump.
