Kochs’ Vets Front Group Hails Koch-Funded Candidate in Faux Townhall Forum Tonight

Concerned Veterans for America (CVA), the Koch-funded veterans group, is staging another one of its “Veterans and Military Town Halls”tonight, with Koch-puppet Rep. Ron DeSantis, as a part of its “national campaign” to push the Koch brothers’ self-serving agenda.

“This propped-up veterans group by the Kochs isn’t fooling anyone. Never would a legitimate veterans’ group advocate for the privatization of the VA system or call for current military retirement plans to be handed over to Wall Street,” said Eddie Vale, the Vice President of American Bridge 21st Century. “CVA only cares about representing the interests of its patrons: Charles and David Koch.”
