Corporations and powerful lobbying groups condemned the attempt to overthrow Joe Biden's victory. But according to an analysis shared exclusively with Rolling Stone, they keep donating millions to the Republican 'Sedition Caucus'
But less than a year later, parts of corporate America look ready to forget and forgive. At least that’s the story that emerges from the latest round of federal election filings.
“The deadly assault on the nation’s Capitol forever damaged our democracy, yet many corporations have done more than forgive and forget — they’re rewarding the lawmakers who helped instigate sedition,” Kyle Herrig, president of Accountable.US, tellsin a statement. “Corporations continuing to donate to members of the Sedition Caucus have made clear nothing trumps their need to hold political influence, not even a healthy democracy for their customers, employers, and shareholders.
But despite what had just transpired, 147 members of the House and Senate, all of them Republicans, formally objected to one or both of the final vote tallies in the states of Pennsylvania and Georgia, which Biden narrowly won on his way toThe American Bankers Association, the banking industry’s main lobbying group, spoke out forcefully in the wake of the insurrection and the Republican fomenting of that violent act.
But by the fall of this year, the ABA was apparently back to its old ways. New campaign-finance disclosures show that, the ABA’s political action committee, gave the maximum legal PAC donation to 17 different House Republicans who objected to Biden’s certification. In all, the ABA’s PAC — which gets its funds and takes direction from the employees of the banks and financial institutions in the ABA — gave $43,000 in three months to Sedition Caucus members.
