Wrong. The Koch brothers are ardent libertarians.

They are by far the largest sponsor of "tea party" organizational funding nationwide.

The "Tea Party" as America knows it today was entirely shaped by the funding of the Koch Empire. They might have hijacked the name, but their financial support/influence made the current movement viable.
