6:41Now PlayingThe billionaire Koch Brothers normally dump millions into presidential elections, but this year they’re ignoring the highest office to focus on state and congressional races. They can’t decide who they hate more: Trump or Hillary. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"On Sunday, at the twice-yearly gathering of the libertarian mega-industrialist Koch brothers’ donor network, Charles Koch told some 400 conservative financiers in no uncertain terms that his network of dark money organizations would not be supporting Donald Trump. What is more, Koch said, rumors that he would support Hillary Clinton are “a blood libel.”
“At this point I can’t support either candidate, but I’m certainly not going to support Hillary,” the 80-year-old Koch told the audience, gathered in Colorado Springs. According to the Associated Press, attendees included at least three governors, four senators, and four members of the House of Representatives—including House Speaker Paul Ryan.
Republican nominee Donald Trump held a rally in Colorado Springs on Friday, but he was not invited to the gathering for donors who pledge to give at least $100,000 annually to Freedom Partners. “I turned down a meeting with Charles and David Koch,” he tweeted on Saturday. “Much better for them to meet with the puppets of politics, they will do much better!””*
