Charles Koch as Darth Vader

Charles Koch as Darth Vader

Maybe the lefties were right all along…

Billionaire, dark money overlord, Charles Koch, dressed as Stars Wars super villain Darth Vader. Sadly, Koch doesn’t dress as Vader everyday, but decided to do so after an NPR interviewer described him as, “pretty much Darth Vader.”

The Hill has the story:

Koch and his brother, David, have used their considerable wealth to back numerous conservative causes and candidates, much to the displeasure of their political opponents.

The libertarian philanthropist has so far abstained from donating directly to candidates in the Republican presidential primary. But several candidates in 2016 have received donations from the extensive Koch donor network that helped grow the conservative Tea Party movement.

The Koch network plans to spend at least $300 million in the 2016 election cycle.

In Ukraine, a statue of Lenin was recently repurposed as one of Darth Vader:

I am so confused….I thought Dick Cheney was Darth Vader….

Perhaps NPR failed to watch “Return of the Jedi” to the conclusion. After all, Darth Vader turned out to be the HERO in the epic movie series.

Well, he certainly has a sense of humor.

The white knight of the “dark side”?
