Association of attorneys general has received millions from Koch Industries, fossil fuel lobby and fund linked to billionaire Leonard Leo
A powerful group that boasts 28 Republican attorneys general, including many who have sided with oil and gas firms to block states seeking compensation for weather disasters caused by climate change, has raked in millions of dollars from fossil fuel giants and a dark money fund tied to Federalist Society co-chair, Leonard Leo.
The Republican Attorneys General Association (Raga) has roped in about $5.8m from oil and gas giants and their allied lobbying groups since Joe Biden was elected president in 2020, campaign finance records show.
Further, Raga has received a whopping $18.8m from the Leo-linked Concord Fund since 2014 when the dark money non-profit first registered with the IRS, according to the liberal-leaning Center for Media and Democracy.
Scene: the Republican National Convention.
“Read my lips: SATANIC PAEDOPHILES IN PIZZA PARLOURS MADE THIS HAPPEN! God would never harm us, we’re His children.”
Audience cheers. Firestorms rage. The roof is burning.
“Dirty Dems are telling us that fire is bad. Well, you think for yourself. Is fire woke? Does fire turns kids gay?”
One lone audience member shouts ‘but fire does kill people’. Those around him beat him to death with their “GLOBAL WARMING LIES” signs.
Who didn’t know this?
How can anyone trust all those corrupt climate alarmist scientists? Everyone knows people only go into science for fame and money. We should listen to these people instead, clearly they have our best interests at heart.
