A seniors group that received almost $16 million from the conservative Koch brothers started running ads this week that the billionaire siblings did not support.
The Koch-led Freedom Partners routinely spends millions to help conservative allies, but the umbrella organization does not have a day-to-day say in those groups’ tactics. That sometimes leads to conflicting or contradictory messages coming out of the brothers’ vast network of advocacy organizations.
Take, for instance, the 60 Plus Association‘s latest ads against seven members of the Senate Banking Committee. The $1.5 million in ads aims to derail a proposal to effectively scrap mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
In the ads, the seniors group urges committee members — three Democrats and four Republicans — “don’t bring Obamacare to the mortgage industry.”
It was not a message that is shared among the Kochs’ political advisers, who were frustrated by the ad, according to an official inside Freedom Partners, who insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss private conversations inside the Koch network.
A spokesman at 60 Plus Association said the group does not consult any of its donors, including Freedom Partners, about its ads.
