Another half truth?

Polifact says:

At a campaign rally for one of the candidates running for Ryan’s U.S. House seat, Sanders said "the Koch brothers have given" Ryan "$500,000 in campaign contributions."

It wasn’t the two Koch brothers but rather one of the brothers, and his wife, who contributed $495,400.

The money was given to a joint fundraising committee controlled by Ryan. But it primarily funds campaigns of other Republicans because, by law, only $10,800 could go to Ryan’s own campaign fund.

We rate Sanders’ statement Half True.

Paul Ryan has a very high chance of winning due to him being the speaker of the house.

I don’t belive that this would influence the election for Paul Ryan due to him needing funding to run and his high level position in the House of Representatives as the speaker of the house.
