Koch pocket pet Pompeo suddenly all ‘Koch who?’ Koch: ‘Oh, that Pompeo’
| Pompeo says he doesn’t know the Koch brothers … well. |
Sunday’s Washington Post shined a spotlight on U.S. Rep. Mike Pompeo, the Wichita Republican whose campaign last year drew more cash from Koch Industries than any other candidate’s.
The 47-year-old House freshman wasted no time finding a couple of projects: defunding a national database of product-safety complaints for consumers, and defunding an EPA registry of greenhouse-gas polluters. Done and done.
You’d think Koch — which has, according to the Post, called the scotching of those lists a top legislative priority — would be like, “Thanks, Big Mike.” Not so much.
