Trump’s Secretary of State pick Mike Pompeo is the all time highest recipient of KOCH Industries Money

in #politics6 years ago

Before Pompeo became CIA Director in 2017 for six years he was a GOP House member from Kansas.

In just four election cycles, 2010 through 2016, Pompeo received: $335,000 from Koch Industries employees (including $92,000 just from the Koch family); $69,000 from the Koch Industries PAC; $417,175 from Americans for Prosperity (which is the right-wing advocacy group founded by the Koch brothers); plus another $87,532 from “Other outside groups heavily funded by the Kochs.”

One swamp monster leaves and another one comes in to replace him. Just another corporatist puppet that will do whatever his donors will want him to do. The US government is bought and paid for, it no longer belongs to the people, it is owned by the wealthy...
