VP Mike Pence to Be Keynote Speaker at Pro-Amnesty Koch Brothers’ Retreat

Vice President Mike Pence will be the keynote speaker at pro-mass immigration GOP mega-donors Charles and David Koch’s New York political strategy retreat.

Pence is expected to speak on public policy at the Koch brothers’ retreat, which will be held on Oct. 12 and 13, according to USA Today. The retreat is also to cultivate Republican candidates for the 2018 midterm elections who are in-line with the Kochs’ open borders agenda.

“As a legislator, governor and now vice president, Pence truly understands how good policies can help all Americans improve their lives,” Koch network spokesperson James Davis said in a statement. “Our members are looking forward to insight as we discuss plans to reverse the trajectory toward a two-tiered society and move toward one of mutual benefit, and a brighter future for all.”

Pence’s speaking engagement at the event is at odds with his social conservative history and base of supporters, as the Koch brothers remain heavily supportive of cultural libertarianism, open borders, the importation of cheap foreign labor, and driving down wages for American workers who are forced to compete with a never-ending flood of chain migration.

For example, just this week, the Koch brothers through their Libre Initiative organization threw their weight behind the latest GOP establishment legislation that would give amnesty to potentially 3.3 million illegal aliens, as Breitbart News reported, while spiking a surge at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Pence’s alliance to the pro-open borders Koch brothers in the 2018 midterm elections is also at odds with the populist economic-nationalist movement which helped elect President Trump and supports his “America First” agenda of secure borders, higher wages through less immigration for American workers, and an end to needless free trade initiatives that allow multinational corporations to readily outsource U.S. jobs.

Kudos to Breitbart for calling Pence out on this. He's starting to look like the GHWB of the Reagan/Bush era.

Pence is an Establishment Uniparty hack. I’ve never bought into Pences fake folksy “Ole Schucks” routine. He’s a snake.

I dont agree, I think Brietbart has jumped the shark and should get a room with Ann Coulter. They think they are the cutting edge of conservatism but they are just "backbenchers"(hat tip mark levin) and are stirring the pot every chance they get just to try and stay in the game

For that reason?

Interesting that you mentioned “vanish”. Do you know something?

8 years as VP makes one too much of a yes man. Pence should take himself out and run on his own against whoever is VP in a 2nd Trump term. He/she should be a successful governor who has served in congress. Brownback may be too tarnished. Kasich/Sanford? Gag me. Jindal(squirrel head). Perhaps he can settle for Walker(Floyd R. Turbo). Problem is he’ll only get in if Trump resigns half way into his 2nd term.

In that picture Ronald Reagan’s body language says he doesn’t agree with what the speaker is saying but he has to listen anyway.

And Nixon’s body language is questioning what the speaker is saying.

That was in 1967. Neither of them were president yet.

I knew it was in the late 60’s. That doesn’t change what their body language was saying.

vanish meaning staying out of the public eye and media.
