Billionaire Kochs to Financially Back Democrats Pushing Amnesty, Free Trade

Breitbart:

The pro-mass immigration Koch brothers’ network of billionaire, donor-class organizations is readying to financially back Democrats, so long as they promise to support amnesty for illegal aliens and vote to advance free trade at all costs.

In a memo to its staff, the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity (AFP) organization announced that the economic libertarian group is set to back any elected official in Washington, DC, — including Democrats — who support their agenda of amnesty for illegal aliens and endless free trade, and oppose the GOP voter-preferred economic nationalist agenda of less immigration and tariffs to protect American jobs.

The memo read:

The threat of being primaried prevents policymakers from leading on difficult issues and driving principled policy reforms. AFP or AFP Action will be ready to engage contested U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and state-level primary races, including Republican, Democrat, Independent or otherwise, to support sitting legislators who lead by uniting with others to pass principled policy and get good things done. [Emphasis added]

The Koch effort to financially support pro-amnesty, anti-economic nationalist Democrats would come to fruition through the creation of multiple issue-specific Political Action Committees (PACs), all under the larger Koch network umbrella.

Support for free trade absolutism, amnesty for illegal aliens, and an anti-economic nationalist voting record are basic requirements for Democrats and Republicans who want financial support from the Koch brothers, as outlined in AFP’s memo:  more here

  1. King Swamp Rats. Their rhetoric has always matched up well with the Chamber of commerce. Never did trust them. Looks like the gig is up. Now they can fly their true colors. Dems will welcome them with open arms so long as they bring their wallets. Harry Reids probably making friendship bracelets right now.

  2. How awkward for all those Democrats who’ve spent the last two decades demonizing the Koch Brothers. They’ll happily take their money, sure. But boy, will it make them look like completely assholes for doing it.

  3. I remember the olden days when we thought that AFP was on the side of the Tea Party movement. They donated heavily. Shysters manipulating babes in the woods. We eventually figured out what they were up to.
    Pretty embarrassing in retrospect.

  4. I guess you can’t expect billionaires to sacrifice their treasure for their country–except President Trump. Maybe someday they will come up to his standards.

  5. Funny how quick the Koch brothers sell out their fellow citizens for cheap labor. The unemployed, under-employed, single parent families, two parent families, those young that are just starting and those in their later years finding themselves unemployed and all those looking for a decent wage are all being sold out by these two robber barons. Maybe at some point despite being protected by walls and armed guards and paid off politicians their comeuppance will come.
