The Koch Agenda And The Republican Party: Why Won't They Answer The Question?

The Koch Agenda And The Republican Party: Why Won't They Answer The Question?

"This is the Koch agenda, laid out clearly and unequivocally at the Koch secret meeting in June, the agenda that Mitch McConnell found so inspiring. This agenda is so stark that since the news of his attendance at the conference came out, McConnell has either downplayed the meeting, contradicted what he said at the meeting- for example here on the minimum wage, or just refused to answer the question here and here.

McConnell isn't the only Republican candidate refusing to answer questions about their allegiance to the Koch agenda. The issue came up twice in the Joni Ernst-Bruce Braley debate in Iowa on September 28th, and Ernst avoided the topic entirely the first time, and defensively and immediately changed the subject the second time. And Con. Jim Jordan, another speaker at the secretive Koch conference, simply refused to answer the question as well."
