“As a publisher,” Simon and Schuster’s statement continued, “it will always be our mission to amplify a variety of voices and viewpoints. At the same time we take seriously our larger public responsibility as citizens, and cannot support Senator Hawley after his role in what became a dangerous threat to our democracy and freedom.”

Facebook, American Express Join Other Major Companies Suspending Donations To Republicans Involved In Biden Certification Challenge

Hotel giant Marriott International, the health insurance network Blue Cross Blue Shield and bank holding company Commerce Bancshares were the first to indefinitely suspend donations ...

CitiBank and JPMorgan Chase & Co (at least 6 months)
...

Goldman Sachs, Boston Scientific and Facebook (as reported by Axios) all said they will suspend political giving to both parties pending reviews, while American Express and Dow, one of the largest chemical companies in the world, are halting donations to the Republican objectors specifically.

Dow, in what appears to be the most punitive response of the bunch, said it will not donate to any member of Congress who objected to the Electoral College certification for the duration of their terms in office:

Bank of America, Ford Motor Co. and AT&T all said they will take recent events into consideration before making future donations, while CVS Health Corp., Exxon Mobil, FedEx and Target said they are reviewing their political giving.

even Hallmark want their money back!

If GOP does not take a stand against that fascist, they will be forever known as the party who sold their soul to American terrorism.

They are tarnished.

Except Arnie.

There are many other good Republicans who are appalled and ashamed.

Social media are the 'bakery' and right-wing extremist's lies are 'gay wedding cake'.

I've got an old mimeograph machine in my storage shed I can loan to Hawley. Remember those, the ones that had purple ink that smelled so strong?

Maybe Hawley can publish his trash book on that, and also do some huffing on the ink.

Gosh, I'm all broken up about conspiracy theorists losing their access to modern media technologies.

The gop seems like it has trumpism cancer, the 8 who voted against Bidens confirmation in the senate and the 121 in the house. I cannot imagine doing that after surviving a violent trump incited attack like that built on lies.

The more moderate part of the gop kicked this far right cancer down the road for years, refusing to deal with it and its just grown and grown.

I wonder if mitt romney will get his party back after this or if the gop will just get more extremist.

although the donations aren't huge sums, many around the $1,000 mark, it's the names associated with them that will leave slap marks. those names are much bigger than the mere donation sums and reflect the growing distaste for hawley and his ilk

Any money that leaves politics is a good thing.

This REPUBLICAN party is dead!!!

 

[WillJ8787]

Looking at posts here and stuff all over media....The Republican Party is dead!!!

It still amazes me though that these knuckeheads in the in the Republican.Party didn't see it coming and many still don't.

Right wing radio has gone nuts today...and they(along with right wing media) are going to finish off any chance REPUBLICANS had as they emerge as the new Neo-fascist right wing party in the USA.

just noticed the q-mark on the title there. oddness!

Hallmark not only is cutting off donations, they want their money back, lolol

But Hallmark went even further, demanding refunds from Sens. Roger Marshall (R-KS) and Josh Hawley (R-MO).

"Hallmark believes the peaceful transition of power is part of the bedrock of our democratic system, and we abhor violence of any kind," the company said in a statement. "The recent actions of Senators Josh Hawley and Roger Marshall do not reflect our company's values. As a result, HALLPAC requested Sens. Hawley and Marshall to return all HALLPAC campaign contributions."

This is what happens to people that hang too close to trump. You will pay a price for being a dumbass.

Sounds like business covering their own asses. They'll be back buying favours asap once the dust has settled. Mealy-mouthed business BS and much too late
