Two billionaire Texas brothers
whose fortunes derive from oil and gas fracking
have pumped🔸 millions of dollars into rightwing media outfits that have promoted climate-crisis denialism 🔸and sent more big checks to back an array of evangelical projects and conservative Texas politicians.
The fracking billionaires #Farris and #Dan #Wilks have each doled out millions of dollars through separate foundations over the last decade to a number of high-profile conservative and religious groups
including the Heritage Foundation, Family Research Council and Focus on the Family.

“Thanks to their incredible wealth and largesse, 👉the country as well as the [Republican] party are now feeling the effects of their aggressive brand of religiously-charged political activism,” 👈
said Darren Dochuk, a history professor at the University of Notre Dame and author of Anointed with Oil.
