Loews cancels Hawley's Valentine's week fundraiser in Florida.

We are horrified and opposed to the events at the Capitol and all who supported and incited the actions. In light of those events and for the safety of our guests and team members, we have informed the host of the Feb. fundraiser that it will no longer be held at Loews Hotels.

...it points to a major campaign finance flaw.
Why is a guy from Missouri having a fund raiser in Florida?
I doubt there is an easy was to stop it, but raising funds from people who can't even vote for you seems inherently wrong.

donations from outside their home states. How many of us non-Georgians gave money to Ossoff and Warnock?

I still think it's wrong. If the DNC doles out money across the states, I think that's fine.
But, a direct fundraiser out of state for one candidate feels wrong.
