Four of these Republican presidential hopefuls have been invited to a closed to the press donor meeting of the Kochs’ “nonprofit” Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce in Palm Springs, California, according to Politico.
It’s a gathering of the rich who intend to stay rich by imposing austerity and deregulation thinly disguised as “ideology” (based on a work of fiction) upon the rest of the country. The Kochs were named the 10th top polluter in 2010 and they’ve been fined millions for lying about poisoning people.
Sources told Politco that the four include Koch “favorite” Governor Scott Walker, Senators Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio. They are expected to attend, though none would confirm their attendance at the secretive meeting. Governor Mike Pence (R-IN) is another Koch favorite, but he is not expected to attend this event.
