Charles Koch says he regrets fueling partisanship: 'Boy, did we screw up!'

[Tony_FLADEM]

The billionaire Charles Koch, who has funneled millions into the GOP and conservative movements, reportedly expressed misgivings over how that money had fueled excessive partisanship.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal's Douglas Belkin published Friday, Koch spoke about his new mission of unification across partisan lines.

He also shared with The Journal parts of his new book, "Believe in People: Bottom-Up Solutions for a Top-Down World," in which he said he regretted his partisanship and the divisions it fostered.

"Boy, did we screw up!" he wrote, according to The Journal. "What a mess!"

"I considered assassinating the Fuhrer, but couldn't find anyone else who was interested in helping me."

[Sherman A1]

7. Okay the Charlie

How about you spend the same amount of money to fix the problem?

[Wellstone ruled]

8. No sh*t Charlie!

You were just following your in Fathers foot steps.

[raccoon]

9. Whatcha gonna do to make amends, Mr. Kock? (Sic). Nt

[SlogginThroughIt]

10. Fuck him. Fix it... Work on fixing it the rest of your life!

Fuck all these people. They don't actually give a shit. If he did he would spend as much trying to reverse his wrongs.


Fuck these people.

[NCjack]

11. Mr. Kock, You could help undo your damage.

Never give another penny to any politician or pressure group. Start now to disperse your wealth, using the Gates' model.

[PirateRo]

12. Yeah, sorry, no, not buying it

He and that shit brother of his knew exactly what they did. But you know what? You can’t just pop up there with a mea culpa and ride into the sunset. An apology happens in three parts. An admission of the error, taking ownership of the problem and cracking that checkbook to correct the harm you created.

I’m thinking we won’t see that because he’s just realigning himself to the new administration.

[Raven123]

13. BS. I hear the call of the deficit hawk. Still funding the GOP however.

[Skittles]

14. FUCK that piece of garbage

I try to imagine having that kind of money, how many people I could help, and look what what that fucker does.....

[Habibi]

15. Huh. I was sure this was the Onion, or Borowitz. nt

[pansypoo53219]

16. is he gonna pay more taxes?

[onethatcares]

17. fuck him

let's see him give up 2 billion dollars for education without his hands dipping into the program. Let's see him finance low income housing and school housing without putting his PAC or any other thing related to him in it.

For some reason I trust him as much as I do the trump boys selling a car on craigslist.

[Wounded Bear]

18. How did they screw up? He got his fucking tax break...

[ibegurpard]

19. Fuck this parasite

I hope he dies a painful death.
