From CNN's Alison Kosik

Comcast says it is suspending all of its political contributions “to those elected officials who voted against certification of the electoral college votes, which will give us the opportunity to review our political giving policies and practices.”

In a statement to CNN on Monday, the telecommunications company called the rioting at the US Capitol “appalling,” adding that the transition of power this year “will take place among some of the most challenging conditions in modern history.”

Comcast said its “focus needs to be on working together for the good of the entire nation.”

1. Why were they making donations to begin with?

Comcast is the parent company of NBC News.

2. I wonder how much the fact that they are losing so

many funders, will change republicans minds on impeachment. This may actually push them more towards a yes vote.

3. That's at least one good thing.

Now if they could just fix their shitty internet service.
