President Trump ripped the Koch brothers one day after the political network formed by the billionaire conservative businessmen said it would not support a Republican Senate candidate in North Dakota
The globalist Koch Brothers, who have become a total joke in real Republican circles, are against Strong Borders and Powerful Trade, Trump said in a series of tweets early Tuesday.
I never sought their support because I dont need their money or bad ideas. They love my Tax & Regulation Cuts, Judicial picks & more. I made them richer. Their network is highly overrated, I have beaten them at every turn, he added.
They want to protect their companies outside the U.S. from being taxed, Im for America First & the American Worker - a puppet for no one. Two nice guys with bad ideas. Make America Great Again!
Americans for Prosperity president Tim Phillips announced at a donor summit on Monday in Colorado Springs, Colo. that the network would not support Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) in his bid to unseat incumbent Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.).
Phillips cited Cramers support for the Export Import Bank, the farm bill and the $1.3 trillion spending package for the decision.
Hes inconsistent across the board on these issues, Phillips said. We cant support him at this time and weve met with his team, explained this and lobbied them on this.
Heitkamp is seen as one of the most vulnerable Senate Democrats up for reelection. Trump carried North Dakota by more than 30 points.
The Koch network is backing GOP Senate candidates in Wisconsin, Missouri, Tennessee and Florida.
Charles Koch said on Sunday that his network would be more aggressive in going after Republicans who have not adhered to fiscally conservative principles.
I regret some of the [lawmakers] we have supported, Koch told a small group of reporters in a rare interview. "Were gonna more directly deal with that and hold people accountable."
Koch also said hes hopeful his network can support more Democrats going forward.
[Phillips cited Cramers support for the Export Import Bank]
Maybe he should have focused on the importing vs. the exporting. Or the other way around.
Yep, cats and dogs sleeping together, not normal unless there is food/profit to be had.
Yes. They have made it rather obvious.
I think we all remember the day when W said “See ya at the bill signing”. I remember that day or the day afterwards very well. I made mention of something that happened that day to SP.
I believe the country turned a corner on in 2001 and yet again in 2008. Now that’s kinda Captain Obvious but I think the Uniparty NWO was coming off and they took advantage of 2 different disasters. Again, CO.
The trouble is the fourth branch of government the deep state supports the Bush/Democrat sellout of the country. And they will not be gone when Trump leaves office. The GOP had better get its head out of it arse because if Bush Republicanism is their answer after Trump they are in for a long losing streak, well at least until the country splits into civil war.
The Cock brothers are internationalist scum comparable to Eurotrash. If I were any Trump Republican this interview is pure gold for primary campaigns. They admit, they are anti-American, will gleefully sell us out for a dollar, they buy congressmen and senators and are far more concerned about their wallets and foreigners than their own countryman. This is a damning interview. It destroys their reputations as conservatives, and as Americans. It should in Republican Party politics but Bush Republicans always have a price$$$.
Ha ha ha
Yep, globalist leaning left who'd a thunk it?
A real bright guy that used to be with the Tea Party Express left and went with Americans for Prosperity
(The guy that replaced him at TPX was/is a real shortsighted self important ... well ...jerk)
I wonder if the guy that left is still with AforP and if he remained a conservative or sold out to keep a big money job.
T Koch bros spent millions to help get conservatives elected back in the Tea Party Movement days.
The Koch’s are going to be out in the cold pretty soon. Can’t go right or left.
Thing about the left? They’ve got no scruples - they go to bed with all comers.
“...Medicare for All would save the American people $2 trillion over a 10-year period”
What a joke, facts are it will cost OVER $32 TRILLION!
So Sanders is fudging a bit...well A LOT!...
So w/the 2T “savings” it will bring down the cost to 30B$
The leftists will eat it up, WOW saving 2T$!
Bringing in more illegals will be the demise of The Republican Party, is that what these IDIOTS want?
David Koch supports abortion, queer marriage,stem cell research and every other liberal cause he can think of. His brother David is conservative.
“billionaire conservative activists Charles and David Koch.”
Conservative? Bwwahaha!
Neither Trump nor the Koch’s are traditional Republicans.
Neither are traditional liberals.
Koch’s are libertarians. To have them say they support tariffs would have been a shock, and they have never supported tight immigration controls, but they are not communists.
Trump is not a Republican at heart. He loves the country, he loves the people, and he acts on that. He is not afraid to kill a sacred cow or three to get his goals done.
The Koch’s and Trump have never gotten along. Co-belligerents at times, but never allies. Kochs have a goal of a libertarian/anarchist state modeled off of VonMises musings. Trump was the US to be like a well run firm that protects it’s own, and crushes the competition. Both are acting according to their beliefs.
I honestly find it rather refreshing.
If you know any Leftist ( regretfully ), challenge them to name a policy that they and the Koch bother’s differ.
Revealing that they plan to support Democrats.
Just love that TRUMP is pointing out the dirt and swamp that are supposedly on our side of the aisle.
Or even Nixon-league. Remember it was Nixon who sold out the US to the CHiComs.
