Charles Koch Compares Trumps Muslim Ban To Nazi Germany



Charles Koch believes that Trump’s executive order banning Muslims from entering the US is reminiscent of Nazi Germany. This is true, but Koch needs to own up to the role he played in paving the way for President Trump. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

but what is he actually going to do. Short of pulling funding for repubs running in 2018 his opinion, while it's nice to hear, isn't going to fix this mess.

I used to work for this SOB. He is probably just pissed that the Interior Secretary he wanted (and most Republicans wanted) was not chosen. He has his greedy un-American eyes on key parts of federally owned lands that he would like to profit from. I don't care for Zinke, but the one they wanted was worse. Cathy McMorris Rodgers authored the bill that is being proposed by Chaffetz to sell off 3.3 million acres of our public lands(H.R. 621)and she was set to be the Interior nominee. Of course Donnie Jr. likes to kill stuff, so he doesn't want to see any of the public hunting grounds sold. This is why we now have Ryan Zinke. In my opinion, this is one of the main reasons you will start to see assholes like Koch start to "criticize" Trump. It's a catch 22. I would like to see Trump impeached, but the alternative is really bad. The next mid-term election is SOOOO important.

As a Montanan, I fear how much federal land we'll lose here and in other states under his crooked leadership.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him with a nice bit of land all for himself, courtesy of the taxpayers. I believe he's that dishonest.

and their polluting factories, their watering down of environmental regulations and spending ungodly amounts of funds they know will ultimately profit them at the cost of the health of the whole fucking planet... didn't I read about nearly 900 million they spent on crapassed republicans just in 2016?
And now they're whining? Don't get me started. I might say how I really feel about those assholes.
I hope an F5 tornado takes out their mansion with them in it.

I as well as a great number of other people sounded alarm warnings for decades that you and your fellow Republicans were playing with fire by relying on the voter base that you did and that it could potentially be swayed to elect someone like Trump but you still kept at it and did nothing to stop his coming into office when you could have.
And dont try the BS claim that there wasnt anything you could do as you could have shifted your money to the Democrats to help them instead but you decided to keep riding that Republican one you had ridden for years so now you and every Republican own this and you also own everything Trump does from now on.
In closing "Sieg Heil!" motherfucker, and grats for helping the new Adolfs rise to power.

They also have their image to repair from years of backing right-wing nut jobs. I swear I've seen more Koch Industries commercials the past four months than I ever did before.

Try the US circa 1938. Check out the US' exclusion lists and caps on certain groups. No need to look to another country, when this type of bigotry has been conducted here before!

Look at him. Poor guy doesn't know what happened to the country. He poured hundreds of millions into the GOP machine that produced this black hole of a presidency, and now he's complaining. Well, No, Charles. You're NOT one of us. You bought him. You can have him for breakfast. Piss off.

How many hundreds of millions have they contributed to the campaigns of mouth-breathing climate change denying, Trump enabling Republicans?

They are human FILTH.
