Charles Koch says he has ‘regret’ about backing some GOPers: ‘I don’t care’ if Democrats take back the House In a rare interview with reporters at a conference he is hosting in Colorado, billionaire conservative Charles Koch admitted that he may have backed some wrong Republicans in the past election, and wouldn’t object to the Democrats reclaiming the House from the GOP. On Saturday, a spokesperson for Koch and his brother David, expressed anger at President Donald Trump’s trade war and the divisiveness he has brought to the country, saying it is bad for business. “The divisiveness of this White House is causing long-term damage,” explained Koch exec Brian Hooks told reporters. “When in order to win on an issue someone else has to lose, it makes it very difficult to unite people and solve the problems in this country. You see that on trade: In order to get to a good place on trade, convince the American people that trade is bad.” During a surprise — and rare — chat with reporters on Sunday, Charles Koch doubled down by admitting he and his brother are taking a harder look at who they back in the future. According to Tarini Parti from Buzzfeed News, she asked Koch about the protectionist policies adopted by the Trump administration and whether he regretted backing lawmakers who support them. Koch admitted that in the future he would be “much stricter” about who he donated to and that he planned to hold anyone he backed “accountable.” Asked if he would support Democrats, Koch replied, “I don’t care what initials are in front of or after somebody’s name,” and that a Democratic majority House was something he could live with. According to CNN’s Leigh Ann Caldwell, Koch also took some responsibility for where the country has gone, saying, “We all bear responsibility” for the “divisiveness in the country,” but said, when asked about Trump: “I’m into hating the sin not the sinner.”
I see. Maybe the dems will have the Koch brothers out campaigning for the dems and pointing out to the dem voters that the Koch bros no longer support Trump because his policies have hurt them and all the other one percenters at the top. Let us know how that works out. Let's see how that conversation goes with the Pocahontas, Bernie, Ocasio types. I am sure they feel the Koch Bro's pain. They will fix it so that they have no wealth to worry about.
These are the same Kochs that democrats considered worse than satan not too long ago. Kind of like with Comey, they seem to be very fickle.
Trump Attacks ‘Globalist’ Koch Brothers, Saying He Doesn’t Need Their ‘Money Or Bad Ideas’ The GOP megadonors have been distancing themselves from Trump. President Donald Trump delivered a rare attack on the billionaire Koch brothers early Tuesday, referring to the GOP megadonors as globalists, a term increasingly used in xenophobic and anti-Semitic contexts. Leaders of the Koch Network of conservative megadonors criticized Trump during the group’s annual summit over the weekend, calling his White House “divisive.” Charles Koch also suggested in a rare interview that his groups may spend less backing the GOP in the future, and expressed regret over their support of certain candidates in the past. On Twitter, Trump ripped the brothers for “bad ideas” and bragged: “I made them richer.”
