Full Headline: After uproar, Loews cancels fundraiser for U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley at Universal Orlando’s Portofino Bay hotel

Loews Hotels on Saturday canceled a planned fundraiser at its Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando for U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, who spearheaded the objections to President-elect Biden’s win in Congress on Jan. 6.

Hawley. R-Missouri, was also shown in a photo raising his fist in solidarity with pro-Trump protesters on Capitol Hill prior to the violent assault on the Capitol building.

“We are horrified and opposed to the events at the Capitol and all who supported and incited the actions,” Loews said in a statement on Twitter. “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.”

The event was listed as being by a Hawley-affiliated political committee, FIghting for Missouri, which raised more than $272,000 for Hawley in the 2020 election cycle. Hawley does not face reelection until 2024.

1. Don't worry Sen Hawley there's always the 4 Seasons.

7. My thoughts exactly. nt

2. This is a big hit to Hawley's wallet

These fundraisers is how many Senators live and build campaign war chests. Sitting on this kind of money lets them get going early in the election cycle while they ramp up fundraising for mid and late stages of the election cycle.

Keep up the pressure! Hit the GOP in the wallet!

3. They still don't have any F'en idea what it is they are supporting, just as long as it says "R" they

go with it!

4. i think being able to fundraise

in another state should be illegal. money from your state only. the only way to insure they are working for their population, not a corporation somewhere else.

11. Ossoff and Warnock

They got a lot of money from out of state donations. I agree, in theory that states should decide by themselves who their elected reps should be, but that ship sailed a long time ago.

13. Why shouldn't people from other states get a say?

The decisions each senator make effects all 50 states. If the awful decisions that asshole Lindsey Graham made only affected South Carolina, I wouldn’t care if he was in the Senate and SC could have him. Unfortunately, that’s obviously not the case.

14. Especially true with McConnell.

I find it infuriating that the good people of Kentucky keep re-electing the lowlife and all Americans are suffering under his draconian obstruction.

He is nearly as powerful as the President, and it should NOT be that way. Sorry, but we do have to change some things in the legislative branch based on the hyperpartisan environment that now exists. Nothing has gotten done in the last nearly a decade. And much regression has occurred with SCOTUS and Federal judicial appointments. Sometimes it’s too overwhelming to think about it.

5. Yeah

[Ford_Prefect]

6. Ouch! That's gonna leave a nasty bruise.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. GOOD!

Only thing that they can "hear" through their brainwashed pea-brains is the sound of $$$$ being sucked away.

[Gore1FL]

9. He should contact Giuliani

Perhaps he can set him up in a Lowes.

[marble falls]

10. Ba-Zinga!!!! Winner, winner! Chicken Dinner!

[Ligyron]

12. Good, it's bad enough here with Trump returning next week.

We have more than enough RWNJ's here already and really, it's more than one state should be expected to absorb.

15. Excellent!
