Greg Abbott Doesn't Want To Talk About His Koch Problem
Greg Abbott attended a schmaltzy resort gathering of the biggest Republican donors, hosted by none other than the Koch brothers. That would be Charles and David Koch, whose seemingly endless millions in funding launched the Tea Party's infrastructure. Aside from their sparking that astro-turf network, the oil-rich Koch brothers routinely fund efforts to undermine climate science and to beat down renewable energy.
"Amid tight security, traffic was blocked on the road into the secluded luxury site near Albuquerque at the base of the Sandia Mountains," a reporter explains. But Abbott doesn't want to talk about his time with the Kochs in New Mexico. He has declined to answer questions about it, and his spokespeople won't answer reporters who inquire about the trip. Even Koch Industries is mum.
Abbott was not in New Mexico making dastardly plans with the Koch clan to fill America's rivers with laser-equipped sharks. But he was clearly asking for his agenda from monied interests who have no interest in what's best for Texas.
"It's clear that Abbott's litigation is directly in line with what the Kochs would want done," said Andrew Wheat of Texans for Public Justice.
