FULL TITLE: Koch Brothers Announce Plans to Intervene in GOP Primaries in Support of RINO, Open Border, “Free Trade” Republicans

The Koch Brothers network announced they will intervene in GOP primaries in support of RINO hacks and open borders Republicans.

The Kochs are not happy with the direction of the country under President Trump. They want Paul Ryan-like Republicans who can push trade policies that wipe out the US middle class.

The Washington Examiner reported:

"The Koch political network for the first time plans to intervene in GOP primaries as part of a deliberate 2020 strategy to reverse years of essentially rubber-stamping the Republican Party in general elections.

Disappointed with Republicans in Congress and occasionally at odds with President Trump, the coalition of political groups overseen by Charles Koch has been re-evaluating its engagement in federal campaigns. Playing in GOP primaries to elect more like-minded Republicans to the House and Senate is key tactical adjustment the network has agreed to, with a top Koch official confirming that incumbents could be targeted for defeat.

“We think that if we’re going to be more selective, you know, raise the bar before getting involved, that it makes sense, therefore, to do more primaries,” Tim Phillips, who runs Americans for Prosperity, the Koch grassroots arm, told the Washington Examiner on Thursday while making the rounds at the Conservative Political Action Conference. The Washington Examiner is a CPAC media sponsor.

But it won’t be thrown out the window. The money will be used to hire campaign consultants, and to buy lots of TV and radio ad time.

That can be very effective.

The Koch brothers TELEGRAPH their plans in advance and then later WONDER why the hell they failed. Duh!


It’s a threat. Like AOC’s blacklist. Toe the progressive corportist agenda or we will oppose you.

The only way they have kept the Cheap Labor Express running for this long is controlling the GOP and blocking the citizens from stopping it.

Drive the Koch brother nuts by calling them the Cock Brothers rather than the Coke Brothers.

So much for the fitfully expressed never-Trumper claim that the Koch Bros. have Trump in their hip pocket.They are just as scared of him as the Dems, because they’re scared of Populism.

10+ years ago the Koch brothers were the most hated republicans among the leftist dems. Nary a peep nowadays.

I’ll settle for shrieking with terror as their Learjet 45 accelerates straight down for 35,000 feet until it buries itself 50 feet deep in an Iowa cornfield.
