​This week got off to an inauspicious start for the brothers Koch when three Wisconsin television stations pulled misleading Freedom Action Partner Fund advertisements from the air. The Kochs resorted to deceit and lies to prop up their reliable puppet Ron Johnson. The Kochs have spent more than $44 million to hijack Wisconsin politics, but money can't change facts. 

The bad news kept rolling in as backlash for the Kochs' poisoning of Crossett, AR continued to build.  The Ouachita Riverkeeper and Louisiana Enviornmental Action Network are petitioning the EPA to pursue action against Georgia-Pacific for releasing millions of gallons of untreated waste water into Coffee Creek that violates the Clean Water Act and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.

From dirty water to dirty money, the Koch brothers have been propping up the individuals behind North Carolina's pernicious HB2 for years. The Kochs, through AFP, have spent nearly $285,000 on North Carolina legislative elections. Much of that money has supported HB2 co-sponsor Rep. Jonathan Jordan and a litany of other lawmakers who voted for HB2.

In this week's most comical hypocrisy from Koch-world, the LIBRE Initiative expressed it's opposition to new overtime rules that would disproportionately benefit Latinos. While LIBRE claims its mission is, "to equip the Hispanic community with the tools it needs to be prosperous," their real mission is to preserve the tools that the Koch brothers need to be prosperous. 

All that and more... it's This Week in Real Koch Facts:
