The Koch Primary

Written by SK Ashby

This is Jon Stewart's last week as host of The Daily Show and it appears that now, more than ever, he is all out of fucks to give.

Stewart tore into the Koch Brothers primary last night in a way that I don't know if anyone else ever will.

Nothing says 'Freedom Partners' like occasionally, partially pulling back the veil of secret presidential forums. [...]

Of course we all know freedom has it's limits. When one of the actual Koch Brothers spoke at the forum, that was embargoed and not allowed to be filmed. Because... freedom.

Obviously, Trump doesn't need a billionaire backer because he is a billionaire. There's no doubt in my mind, however, that he would have attended the forum if he needed their money.

ThinkProgress published the restrictions journalists agreed to in exchange for access to the Koch Brother's Freedom Partners summit. For freedom.
