   Clarence Thomas Secretly Participated in Koch Network Donor Events

   Thomas has attended at least two Koch donor summits, putting him in the extraordinary position of having helped a political network that has brought multiple cases before the Supreme Court.

   Thomas has a yearslong, personal relationship with the Kochs that has remained almost entirely out of public view. It developed over years of trips to a secretive all-men’s retreat in Calif.

     @DrALJONES @Stephenleader @cainmark Did Ken Burns tell the world about John Glenn? Not the astronaut. The ballplayer who beat the hell out of his wife. The ballplayer who committed crimes against children until finally being gunned down by police. That John Glenn.

     Softening segregation was disgusting, but not talking about the kind of player welcome in baseball?

     A white wife beater and child rapist was welcome to play.

     Moses Fleetwood Walker was not.

     Sanitized history is the Ken Burns' way.

     Yes, indeedy, David Koch funded Burns's Vietnam War series... along with Bank of America:

     AnthonyJK-Admin repeated this.

     @DrALJONES @cainmark what’s the story with Ken Burns being there?

     I am concerned that Koch fund his documentaries
