MSNBC Blames: David Koch Symbolized ‘Influence of Dark Money’

‘The man who helped rewrite the modern American political playbook has died’

EXCERPT:

JANSING: “The man who helped rewrite the modern American political playbook has died. Billionaire conservative donor David Koch, as one half of the Koch Brothers came to symbolize the influence of dark money in America. He was committed to funding conservative causes nationwide, but Koch was perhaps best known as one of the primary donors fueling the Tea Party movement. Joining me, New York Times political reporter Ken Vogel, also author of "Big Money: $2.5 billion, one suspicious vehicle, and a pimp on the trail of the ultra-rich hijacking of American politics" So, perfect guy to talk about this, Ken, our own Katy Tur spoke to Jane Mayer author of “Dark Money” about the Koches for her show “American Swamp” and I want to play a little bit of that.”
