Democratic writers, reporters, and activists celebrated the death of Libertarian-turned-Republican billionaire, philanthropist, and political donor David Koch after his death was announced on Aug. 23.
“David Koch was a villain who devoted his wealth to further enriching himself and his fellow plutocrats, while spinning us all toward environmental doom. I don’t believe in an afterlife, but if there is one, I hope his soul suffers for eternity,” wrote Slate writer Jordan Weissmann on Twitter.
