Politico’s chief White House correspondent Mike Allen has been booked to emcee part of an event set up by a group funded by the Koch brothers designed to connect Republican presidential candidates with wealthy donors, according to Politico.
Days before the first GOP debate, several 2016 Republican hopefuls, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Sen. Ted Cruz (TX), Sen. Marco Rubio (FL) and Gov. Scott Walker (WI) are set to travel to the event hosted by the Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, which is funded by the Koch brothers, according to Politico.
The candidates will use their time there to appeal to the Koch brothers and other conservatives who are planning to spend up to $1 billion in the 2016 election, according to Politico.
The first GOP debate, in which only the top 10 Republican candidates will participate, will take place Aug. 6 in Cleveland.
At the annual Freedom Partners conference, the candidates will appear in individual Q&A sessions, which will be moderated by Allen and streamed online to media outlets, according to Politico.
Ah, so Politico’s openly supporting the RWNJ’s now instead of pretending to be unbiased? I must have missed that announcement, but good to know anyway.
What a shame, he’s a much better juggler…
Emcee is all right. Juggler too. Just not another clown, please!
Allen is not a real journalist (and this is more, good proof). He only plays one on tv, which isn’t real either.
There is so much wrong with this picture and the paragraph that describes it…beginning with “Politico’s chief WH correspondent”…to, “a group funded by the Koch brothers”…ending with, “connecting Republican presidential candidates with wealthy donors”.
These assholes pretending to be straight reporters in order to get those WH press passes, don’t even pretend to be doing legitimate work in journalism anymore. Instead, so many like Allen on the right now do freelancing contract work as partisan political operatives…and then go on Morning Joke to sell their partisan attacks even further. The very definition of a SHILL. Politico is a complete joke.
Fuck this guy. Fuck the Kochsuckers, Fuck the GOP, and Fuck the disgusting state that American journalism finds itself in…More Sick Shit.
BTW, will Mark Halperin be there doing Pilates too? Oh, and spellcheck doesn’t think ‘Pilates’ is a real word. Weird huh?.
