Koch Bros. New Spin On Keystone Shows Calls For Their Subpoenas [VIDEO]

Billionaire conservative activists Charles and David Koch are pulling out all the stops to try and deny a link between Koch Industries and the politically controversial Keystone XL Pipeline and Canadian tar sands.

Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) invited the Kochs to testify before Congress about their leverage in the project and what they stand to gain should the pipeline go through. Notoriously camera shy the Kochs are doing what they can to avoid testifying, enlisting surrogates like Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-KS) and launching a brand new public relations push.

Here’s their latest attempt to spin their link to the Keystone XL Pipeline:

Just because the Koch brothers are worth billions doesn’t mean our Congress should be beholden to them. Help hold Koch Industries and Congress accountable and make sure good public policy, not unlimited corporate dollars drive policy like the Keystone XL Pipeline.

Monteque, that swamp land that you have for sale, would it by any chance happen to have been polluted by the Koch brothers? ;-)

Oh, after proofreading my comment, it might have misled everyone to think that I support the Keystone XL pipeline.

I DO NOT! I just did not understand why our representatives and senators were trying to shove the pipeline down our throats!

Thank you for the video!!!!!!!

I knew about Keystone 1, but I did not fully understand the existing pipeline, and I did not understand why we needed two more sections to be added to the two already existing sections. The video easily cleared up all my confusion! Thank you!

The Koch brothers seem hell-bent on having the world hate them. If that's hate they want, let's give it to them.
