Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy (Conn.) recounted a moment via Twitter when his nine-year-old gave him the opportunity to slam the Koch brothers, prompting Koch Industries to respond directly.
The Democratic senator shared on Friday how he corrected his son after the nine-year-old found a Koch Industries commercial "cool."

Murphy replied by saying he told his science-loving kid that the Koch brothers don't believe in science.
I did. Then:
Me: You know how u love science in school?
9 yr old: Yeah.
Me: The Kochs don't believe in it.
9 yr old: What? I don't get it. https://t.co/TKmF026jUJ— Chris Murphy
