Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) recently suggested that God had sent billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch to help the Republican Party.

“I just thank God that there’s a billionaire or two on our side,” Bachmann told conservative radio host Lars Larson during an interview at the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference. “All the billionaires seem to be on the radical left, so I’m glad that we have a couple on ours.”

The Minnesota Republican asserted that Democrats were part of “an intimidation movement” to stop billionaires from supporting conservative causes.

“I’m sure that the donors on our side don’t like to have their names vilified and that’s what this is about, intimidating people from giving money to our cause, that’s it,” she opined, adding that Democrats should be prosecuted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) for their intimidation of billionaires.
