Senators who backed Trump's election challenge may rethink their stance on impeachment after losing corporate funding, experts say

Grace Dean 14 hours ago

* The mass exodus of corporate backing could affect how senators vote on Trump's impeachment trial, experts say.

* Dozens of companies have pulled funding from the GOP lawmakers who voted against Biden's certification.

* CEOs say they increasingly have no choice but to bring politics into the boardroom.

Moral convictions may not be the only reason that GOP lawmakers are turning their back on former President Donald Trump.

Lawmakers who voted against certifying Joe Biden as president may also be rethinking their stance after losing corporate funding, experts told Insider.

After Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol in a desperate bid to overturn the presidential election results, which turned into a violent insurrection leaving five people dead, businesses have been quick to cut ties with Trump and the lawmakers who backed his baseless claims of election fraud.

Walmart, Amazon, and Morgan Stanley are among the companies that have cut off political funding to the 147 GOP lawmakers who voted against certifying Joe Biden as president. Hallmark went a step further, and asked Republican Senators Josh Hawley and Roger Marshall, who both voted against Biden's certification, to refund its political donations.

2. It's nice when capitalism works the way it's supposed to work

Association with these scoundrels hurts the brand of those corporations, so they cut off the purse strings. Money is pretty much all those politicians respect, so this actually gets their attention.

3. And money again outweigh ethics . . .

Time after time the republicans show their true intentions and it ain't for the betterment of the USA, but only for themselves and their rich cronies.

The 1st Impeachment was a warning, and republicans did not heed and what followed was total disaster causing well over 415,000 COVID-19 deaths, umpteen number of suffering and economic downturn.

January 6, 2021 - shithole and cult including many in the republican congress tried to overturn the election thereby - violent breach of the Capitol Building with the intent to harm, and sequentially 5 died.

But alas, republicans have no soul.

4. Money is the ONLY thing that will move them

5. As always, follow the money

Force the leadership pac money and dark money into the lighting day. Let the people know who is supporting crazy shit like Q-anon which helped to lead the Armed Insurrection against the United States!
