Here are the companies suspending political contributions following the Capitol riots
By Alex Gangitano - 01/12/21 10:40 AM EST


A growing list of companies are cutting off donations to politicians who opposed the Electoral College results, targeting the 147 Republican members of the House and the Senate who voted against affirming President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

Republican lawmakers attempted to challenge the results of Arizona and Pennsylvania, two swing states Biden won, during and after a violent and deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob.

In light of those events, some companies are temporarily suspending any political action committee (PAC) donations to all lawmakers as they assess their policies.


Here are the companies that have temporarily stopped giving to members who opposed the election results:

@mountaineer

The way *I* read it is these companies are suspending donations to ALL politicians until after the dust settles. If we boycott them all,we may be harming some that agree with us.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

It also says "In light of those events, some companies are temporarily suspending any political action committee (PAC) donations to all lawmakers as they assess their policies."

Which is true,if either?

We have to be careful these days due to political reporting that supports dogma more than facts. There are some VERY clever people out there working hard on the propaganda front to subvert us all.
