Charles Koch: Still anti-Trump, but it’s ‘blood libel’ that he’d back Clinton

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Billionaire Charles Koch called the notion that he would support Democrat Hillary Clinton in the general election “blood libel,” while doubling down on his assertion that he wouldn’t support Republican Donald Trump.

“The first thing I want to do is correct a rumor that the media keeps stimulating, and that is that I’m probably going to support Hillary,” Koch told a group of about 400 donors. He added, to a round of cheers: “That is a blood libel,” using a term that refers to the anti-Semitic belief that Jews used the blood of Christian children to make ritual bread called matzo.

If you claim to be pro-america, then you need to stop bashing the pro-america candidate.

Hey Koch. You can’t vote for ‘none of the above’ in this election, and ‘voting your conscience’ is a vote for Clinton.

You’ve got only two realistic choices. Pick one.

I think the Koch brothers are like a lot of other people who have heard Trump say that he wants to be free of the taint of financial contributors. The Koch brothers have decided to invest their funds in Senate races and will be donating much more than I will be donating. But, I understand their point - since Trump doesn’t need/want the money, it’s best to just donate to others who really need the money to be successful.

For a smart man, he’s incredibly stupid.

Not really. The Koch’s are clearly comfortable with a Hillary Presidency. And when the liberals come for their heads no conservative should have their backs. They are dead to me.

It’s easier to buy-off the Senate.

And that's not stupid? Okay.
