Influential Koch network backs Nikki Haley in GOP presidential primary
CNN ^ | November 28, 2023 | Fredreka Schouten

The influential network associated with billionaire Charles Koch will throw its money and influence behind former South Caroline Gov. Nikki Haley in the Republican presidential primary, the group announced Tuesday.

The decision could dramatically reshape the Republican field – roughly seven weeks before the Iowa caucuses – as Americans for Prosperity Action deploys its vast resources and standing army of conservative activists on behalf of the former South Carolina governor.

The endorsement marks the latest sign that powerful Republican donors are coalescing behind the candidacy of the former US ambassador to the United Nations. She has seen prominent figures join her campaign in recent weeks, particularly after South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott exited the race.

Haley is eligible to anyone who can read the Constitutional definition of “natural born citizen”. She was born in Spartanburg, SC.

Koch is like “Chainsaw Al Dunlap”. Impressed greatly with themselves, and not much with anyone else.

Of course they back her. The Kochs always want weak squishy RINOs. Haley has been deliberately oblique on our open borders. As a result, I can only surmise she would facilitate the cheap labor express on behalf of Koch who has long supported his fellow country club Republicans on this.

Let it go. Unless you want to go down the “FR natural born citizen” rabbit hole.

BULL$HIT! Koch network is about as influential as CNN, which has very few viewers.

Oh, I’ve seen that rabbit hole. It’s right next to FR’s “We never went to the Moon” rabbit hole. Next door to “Our government blew up the WTC.”

That’s what I thought.

Do they think it’s because her parents were not born here? Because if they look at the other major candidates they might be a little surprised.

“Haley is eligible to anyone who can read the Constitutional definition of “natural born citizen”. She was born in Spartanburg, SC.”

The Constitutional definition of a natural born citizen is one born of citizen parents, as per the definition written into the Naturalization Act of 1790, written a year after the Constitution was adopted. And that was the definition taught to all Americans until about twenty years ago.

For being billionaires, the Koch's aren't too smart when it comes to backing a winner.
