Billionaire conservative figure David Koch has died, his brother Charles Koch confirmed in a statement. He was 79 years old.
"It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my brother David. Anyone who worked with David surely experienced his giant personality and passion for life," Charles Koch wrote in a statement, adding that his brother was diagnosed with prostate cancer 27 years ago. "David liked to say that a combination of brilliant doctors, state-of-the-art medications and his own stubbornness kept the cancer at bay," Charles Koch's statement continued."We can all be grateful that it did, because he was able to touch so many more lives as a result."
His death comes a year after he stepped down from Koch Industries, the corporation he ran along with his brothers, due to deteriorating health, his brother Charles write in a letter to company officials last June, according to The Associated Press. Last summer, he also stepped down from the variety of business and political activities he was involved in, including the Koch Industries subsidiary Koch Chemical Technology and the Americans For Prosperity Foundation charity that largely encompasses the brothers' political work.

TheView Great American, arts patron, job creator, political mover. Amazing guy.
May he RIP 🙏
TheView Hopefully his brother will follow shortly behind him. These brothers have taken way too much advantage of America and Americans!
Very sad! A great and giving man.
840WHAS Koch. Money horded. Looked down on poor. No icon. Hell awaits this type of rich.

Anyone blame the Clintons yet?
I was gonna comment something snarky, but everybody beat me to it already. Bye Felicia!!
The country is just a little better off now.
Thoughts and prayers.
1 down 1 to go. Hopefully before to Long the corruption of our government will die with them.
The Libertarians lost 1/2 of their contributions.
Hopefully he suffered.
Good riddance to a rich racist bent on molding our country into his own little kingdom. One gone, one more to go.
OMG, is it not obvious ABC that the left is not what Americans support, elites, educators and media way up!! This will be the reaction when you go!!
Man is it going to be hot when he reaches his final destination.
I will take my mother's advice and say nothing at all.
Sorry for his family, but no tears here.
TheView So is the view a show where woman come together to discuss relevant topics and give their different views, or a show about $hiting on the president every day? It sure seems like B is the answer
Listen learned, this life is temporary and everyone leaves with nothing but their deeds.
Yeah, the Amazon Rain Forest is still on fire. amazonrainforestfire

The President ordered flags be flown at half mast for Mr.Koch.
“Conservative is too bland a descriptor. He and his brother focused on getting the US government out of the healthcare and pension business. Easy if you have $50 billion in the bank. Destructive when 99% of Americans will need these programs to survive.
One less evil person on the face of this Earth. I am sure he is licking Satins heels in Hell.

All the money in the world couldn’t keep that thick black tar he calls blood pumping
TheView To paraphrase Bette Davis....You should never say anything bad about the dead, only good. David Koch is dead, good.

I take no joy in anyone’s death, but some people the world is better without.
Good riddance
Shame he could have had a chance to be on DWTS.
With Americas wealth held and hoarded away
One down, Hollywood to go.
Too bad. And to think abc was going to put him on the next season of their lame dancing show. Would of been great to pair him with seanspicer
Heaven will be filled with unrecognizable immigrants
TheView What will the GOP do?
A lot of broke underachievers that demands to suck off the teet of the government celebrates this death for no educated reason other than for the sake of political opinion and some actor that says so.
His brand of destruction will still linger on. Spit on his memory well by ending the legalization of bribery here.
I know plenty will be celebrating, but death of no one is worth celebrating - - It should be a moment of reckoning that we all will end up tasting death at some point KochBrothers
Thank God👏👏.
I see the extremist are out this morning in full force, cheering on death and rooting for further deaths. Just another typical Friday
So it is a good day for the earth and the climate and mankind
no one cares that right wing nut
Too bad. He hadn’t even gotten his stint on dancing with the stars.
No loss to humanity!
Thoughts and prayers🤪
There is a God in Heaven 😂😂😂

Seeing how none of that will be willed my way...
One down, one to go
Good riddance
kstreet111 Better headline: “Killer of Earth Dies Before Mission Accomplished (but not by much)”
Billionaire conservative, OR billionaire opportunist who bought into causes he believed he could control? May he rest in peace and his family find comfort.
His legacy is not a good one! Nothing good to say about him because he didn't do any good! Only God can decide his final resting place!
Epstiened
patriotact wait, didn’t y’all mention them in a recent episode?
Who also donated to democratic party causes. You people and your oogie boogie men... gotta justify your unhinged emotions... E.V.E.R.Y. T.I.M.E.
It must be hard to die being a hoarder
I wonder whay level he's headed to?
...don't say nothin'...
kstreet111 Today is the best Friday I've had in over a year. Just because a Koch brother died. Hope Mitch McConnell is next
Fox5Teresa Unleash the classy, compassionate, mature, thoughtful and human Left/Democrats/Socialists. Just sit back and watch them fall over each other to see who can be the biggest ghoul.
s8n FORE!
How will his money help him now? Evil

Oh... Republicans are common mortals.
The Legacy Of David Koch - mass shootings, glaciers melting, infrastructure crumbling, education plummeting, income gap growing, rising deficits, world-wide rise of Nazis, NATO destruction, and the age of selfishness. Time to Return America To Love. RATL
Have a great time in hell sir
What? Billionaires die too?
trump and the GOP is loosing money with koch and Epstein gone
karenhunter What's the Powerball amount?!?
Dust in the wind. All your money won't another minute buy.
🤷🏾♂️ I wonder what Harry Reid has to say😂😂😂
A testament to the saying only the good die young.
C’est la vie
Libertarians aren't conservatives
Not soon enough. His money moves on to do damage.
Koch was a libertarian, not a conservative.

SassyTallBlonde Another one bites the dust. Coincidence?
One down, one to go!
The Devil reserved seats for him & his evil, greedy, treasonous family. Climate change & Trump and the crackpots on the federal bench (including Gorsuch & Kavanaugh) are on them! KochsArePureEvil An over-the-Styx reunion among Trump, Mercer & DeVos fams can’t happen too soon.
Democrats haven’t been this happy about someone dying since Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated.
One down one to go
Good riddance.

Even if the KochBrothers were really bad guys, the left's hate-filled joyful response to one of their deaths is pretty disgusting and says a lot about the kind of people they are.
