fter Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol last week, Bank of America sent a memo to employees who had donated to the company’s political action committee. The note made it clear there would be financial consequences for legislators who had voted against certifying the 2020 election results. “For upcoming elections,” the message said, “We will take into account the appalling events of January 6 before making any PAC decisions regarding those members.
Bank of America isn’t the only company caught in an awkward position—pledging financial consequences for Trump’s acolytes while continuing to pay the president rent. Many of Trump’s tenants are locked into longstanding lease agreements, which makes severing those ties more challenging than simply pledging to withhold future political donations.
It’s a similar story at Microsoft, which decided on Friday that it would freeze political giving through its PAC. “The PAC regularly pauses its donations in the first quarter of a new Congress, but it will take additional steps this year to consider these recent events and consult with employees,” a spokesperson said in a statement. The technology firm also did not answer whether it will be seeking to change its lease inside 555 California, where it pays an estimated $3.
Betrayal of your own government and America as a whole
That’s a mistake. We’ve seen the Trump effect on “businesses” like Twitter and Facebook
A *GROTESQUE* injustice will occur unless we protest right now! Don't let the Trumps weasel their way out of answering for their crimes with a pardon! SPREAD THE WORD!!! 'NO PARDONS FOR THE TRUMPS!' NOPARDONSFORTRUMP
He's big mad rn
I pray Forbes is sued until eternity.
Welcome to GULAG, America! 🤣
