On Monday, Microsoft announced that it would suspend all contributions from its political action committee, MSPAC, in the wake of last week's riot at the US Capitol. The freeze, which applies to Democrats and Republicans alike, will be in effect "until after it assesses the implications of last week's events," the company said.
In recent days, many employees criticized the PAC for making donations in Microsoft's name to the Republicans in both houses of Congress who voted against certifying election results, in messages from several discussions viewed by Insider. Those Republicans have been criticized as lending credence to President Donald Trump's unfounded claims of election fraud, which in turn inspired the mob that rampaged through the Capitol.
In several threads on the "CEO Connection" board, Microsoft employees said backing these politicians was at odds with the company's own public stance and values. "This cannot go on," one employee wrote on the "CEO Connection" board. "MSPAC donated to a number of the representatives who tried to subvert democracy," another wrote.
