The split between the GOP and the business world is widening after some Republicans voted against Electoral College certification after last week's riot

The breakup between the business world and the Republican Party is rapidly accelerating in the wake of last week’s deadly pro-Trump riot at the Capitol, posing a serious financial threat to the party just as it’s being stripped of power in Washington.

“Every executive committee of every PAC is studying this this week. PACs generate their resources from their employees, who are rising up about what happened last week,” said Scott Reed, a former senior adviser at the Chamber of Commerce. Senior Republicans are trying to gauge how far-reaching the boycott will be — and whether it's a short-term reaction to the events of last week or something more permanent.

In an illustration of the alarm, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and his team have reached out to a vast number of corporations over the last 24 hours to take their temperature, according to a person with direct knowledge of the discussions. Most of the businesses have assured them that they have no plans to back away from the party.

National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Rick Scott is drawing special attention within Capitol Hill and K Street circles, after Scott broke with GOP leadership in objecting to the certification of the Electoral College votes from Pennsylvania. His move has raised concerns among some in the party that it will hamper the NRSC’s fundraising just as the 2022 election cycle is getting started. Senate Republicans are confronting a challenging electoral map, necessitating substantial funding.

If there was ever an argument for communism ... this would be it. Eliminate the corporation and you kill 99.9% of the corruption that exists.

I guess plotting to overthrow the government isn’t good for business
