Blue Cross Blue Shield Association suspends donations to lawmakers who opposed Electoral College count

Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA) will suspend its donations to lawmakers who opposed the Electoral College count after rioters stormed the Capitol building.

BCBSA President and CEO Kim Keck announced on Friday that the federation of 36 health insurance companies would no longer provide financial contributions to these congressional members through its political action committee that is “supported solely by employee contributions.”

“At the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, we continuously evaluate our political contributions to ensure that those we support share our values and goals,” Keck said in a statement. “In light of this week’s violent, shocking assault on the United States Capitol, and the votes of some members of Congress to subvert the results of November’s election by challenging Electoral College results, BCSBA will suspend contributions to those lawmakers who voted to undermine our democracy.”


“While a contrast of ideas, ideological differences and partisanship are all part of our politics, weakening our political system and eroding public confidence in it must never be,” the statement continued. “We will continue to support lawmakers and candidates in both political parties who will work with us to build a stronger, healthier nation.”

That's gotta hurt, I mean their donations to republicans must have been what, maybe .0001% of what they give to democrats? What's really gonna hurt the GOP is all the members and lot's of former members of the party that wouldn't give them the sweat of their ----s if they were on fire after they pulled their Benedict Arnold act.
