Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders criticizes Koch brothers Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has described the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch as “greedy” and representative of a “corrupted” political and economic system which he wants to undo. He criticized them for donating huge amounts of money to campaigns. He also pledged to nominate people to the Supreme Court who would promise to try to overturn the Citizens United decision that allows people and organizations to give unlimited campaign funds. Speaking to a crowd in South Carolina, he said “We live in a nation in which a handful of very, very wealthy people have extraordinary power over our economy and our political life and the media,” and added that “They are very, very powerful and many of them are extremely greedy.”
