Dallas-based AT&T , one of the biggest corporate lobbyists, said its federal PAC’s board “decided to suspend contributions to members of Congress who voted to object to the certification of Electoral College votes last week.” It wasn’t immediately clear how long the suspension will last.
We ought to boycott the businesses that supported Trump in the first place.
At a glance I thought I read blue chip companies were going to stop political donations. Very novel... oh, they just meant Republicans
Let’s never forget they donated in the first place, either.
Not just big business, the image of America suffers from the siege of the capitol authored by trump and his cohort! They have to be held accountable.
Isn't this mostly impacting the specific republican elected officials who supported the coup?
