Koch Brothers Paid To Get Paul Ryan On Romney Ticket?

submitted by Boise_Lib

1 decade 1 year 8 months 2 weeks ago

YouTube Description:

"...Republican strategist Roger Stone made an allegation that takes things to a whole new level. Stone claims that unnamed "sources" tell him the Koch brothers lobbied the Romney campaign hard to pick Paul Ryan as his running mate, and that they sealed the deal at a July 22 fundraiser with Romney, where David Koch pledged an additional $100 million in support to SuperPACs and C-4s (another type of political non-profit for influencing elections) in exchange for picking Ryan. Stone claims that David Koch's "wife Julia had been quietly lobbying for Ryan," but the brothers had already been one of Ryan's biggest donors in his Congressional races, and they're his single biggest donor from the energy industry...". Cenk Uygur and comedian Jimmy Dore discuss on The Young Turks.

Pure hearsay. Can't be substantiated except by admission (unlike Harry Reid's possibly fictional hearsay which might be true nonetheless but time may or may not tell on that one).

Shame too. I want a good scandal.

I think this might be the first time I've actually seen TYT backing off on a hot issue and carefully reconsidering the legitimacy of their sources before going on a rage spree. Usually they just go off on a red-faced rant and end the segment with 'fuck this government, fuck this country, the whole thing is fucked'.

Uhhh, scandal? I don't get why this is special at all. People and corporations lobby politicians all the time by promising big donations. What makes this different?
