Koch donated millions to help people, including helping people with cancer. More than Maher would ever do to help anyone in life.
Via Fox News:
“Real Time” host Bill Maher minced no words Friday night regarding the news that Republican megadonor and billionaire philanthropist David Koch had died at age 79 following a long battle with cancer.
“F— him… I’m glad he’s dead,” Maher said.
“And now, some funeral news to report. Yesterday David Koch of the zillionaire Koch brothers died .. of prostate cancer,” Maher said during his opening monologue, sparking some applause from his mostly liberal audience.
“I guess I’m going to have to re-evaluate my low opinion of prostate cancer.”
The HBO star joked that Koch’s family expressed gratitude that he “lived long enough to see the Amazon catch fire” and that condolences poured in “from all the politicians he owned.”
