Harry Reid’s attacks on Koch brothers send GOP donors into the shadows

Why are the GOP donors so ashamed that they feel the need to hide their faces?


Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid’s relentless attacks on the billionaire Koch brothers are having an unforeseen impact — spurring other wealthy GOP donors to give more money to groups that keep their supporters’ names secret.

Several prominent pro-Republican advocacy groups say they are benefiting from a burst of cash as some donors — fearful of harsh public attacks such as those aimed at the Kochs — turn away from political committees required under federal law to reveal their contributors.
