RSLC Statement on Passing of David Koch
WASHINGTON – Following news reports on the passing of David Koch, a philanthropist and longtime supporter of conservative causes, the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) President Austin Chambers issued the following statement:
“A pioneer of American industry, a selfless philanthropist, and a steadfast champion of freedom, Mr. Koch embodied the spirit of our great country in everything he did. We’re deeply saddened by his loss, but remain grateful for the everlasting differences he made in government, politics, and the arts and sciences. We offer our condolences to his family and the millions of people around the world whose lives have been lifted up by his great work. Our world is a better place because of the life Mr. Koch led.”

Everlasting difference? No one makes an “everlasting” difference on a political party.
I’m glad he is dead. He has done way too much harm in this world. Good thing he got see the Amazon burning before he died. I hope his grave is eternally vandalized.
The minimum of grace any decent person should have at the passing of another person is silence. The time to be harsh with a foe ends with his death. Your behavior has demonstrated all that is wrong with social media today. I’m ashamed and saddened that you took the time to write this when you clearly knew nothing about the man.
That, Tara, is the perfect example of the pot calling the kettle black.
Both parties are at fault….you don’t know who to believe anymore. The Koch brothers sure hate Trump but they have full time lobbyists by the name of Americans for Prosperity influencing out state Legislators. They are against Trump’s fair trade deals, plus they are for bringing immigration and paying them slave wages. I will say they are for less government.
David Koch did hate Trump and he probably went to the grave with it. Too bad.
A little piece from Steven Hayward’s thoughts…
The Kochs hated Trump in 2016, opposed him vigorously throughout the entire nomination process (Vanity Fair ran a story in February 2016 entitled “Can the Koch Brothers Stop Trump?“), and have said more recently they are open to supporting Democrats in part because of their continuing dislike of Trump. But never mind: for the Times, everything has to come back to Trump (and racism).
I’d like to add to your statement, “bringing immigration and paying them slave wages”… because of illegal/legal immigration Americans’ wages are no longer a living one, and women have been forced out of the home to work while the family unit suffers.
