Over the weekend, two members of Congress, Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ), addressed a white nationalist convention. A number of major corporations, including Ford, Walmart, Delta Airlines, and Deloitte, are financially supporting their reelection through PAC contributions to the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).
Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar are at or near the bottom of the barrel as far as Congress is concerned. If you can't denounce them, you're basically conceding you have the wrong priorities.
The crowd applauded Putin and chanted his name... So we have a Communist movement supported by numerous corporations (!?) which includes white supremacists and anti-Semitic voters in the United States, as well as elected members of Congress. Over decades, many people died to defend against this, and now we are just letting it happen. Actually, the RNC is aiding and abetting the movement, CAUSING it to happen. No words...
The level of danger in allowing these racist terrorist-supporting officials to stay in office is shocking and outrageous. MTG has had pictures posted threatening AOC and others. A video is shown with her blowing up a vehicle with the word Socialism on it! Boebert joked bout blowing up the metal detecters used at Capitol Hill. She refused to have her bag search at capitolHill any is an open carry nut.
My question is, why do we do nothing or give a wrist slap to this? Why isn’t Trump locked away? He poses serious risk to our country. He incited a deadly coup attempt. Why? Why is a certified criminal allowed to hold rallies?
IMO, the Republican party has lost all sight of what it means to live in a democracy, the right to vote is under assault, as is the right to control your (female) body, and the right to live in a fair and equitable society. They keep saying that socialism is a danger to our country, when in fact, they ARE the greatest danger to democracy since WWII.
And I am fully aware that we are a republic, have over 100 socialist programs, and we do not embrace full socialism, so save your corrective criticizing. Thanks.
We're at the behest of the wacky minority due to the nature of the primary system in the US, not to mention the Electoral College and the distribution of representatives and especially senators. It might have worked when there were 13 colonies but not now with 50 states!
Just how ignorant are the people that voted these clowns in? THAT scares me more than anything . They rather burn the United States to the Ground than vote Democrat. We are screwed.
Excellent article. Those corporations should be highlighted at the beginning, middle and end. Let’s get this in mainstream media. In 2023 it is not OK to support Nazi, white nationalists. Call it cancel culture if you like Americans with dollars to spend should know what corporations are doing.
I have a simple question: Why do we continue to use the euphemism "White Nationalist"? Can we settle on a standard description of bigots that isn't so pleasant or accepting? I'm hoping Judd can do something like Savage Love did to Santorum, but for racists/bigots.
Terrific column today, many thanks! I’m thinking I’ll talk to local realtors to screen for NAR membership before listing my condo, try to raise some awareness of racism/antisemitism at the professional organization level. There’s just no excuse for defunding Cheney/Kinzinger while continuing to promote Greene/Gosar. (Interestingly Greene got all the (bad) press for AFPAC appearance. A bit of misogyny on the part of msm?)
Some of those companies appear on a lot of the donation rosters you’ve posted. In this case, those that respond to your request for comment, if any others do, will claim the same explanation as Liberty Mutual.
MTG is such bad news. I am sorry she hails from my home state. I am disappointed that Verizon supports the NRCC, but it is the only company on the list whose products and services I use. Keeping up with corporate loyalties is a full-time job.

The race to the bottom between MTG, Gosar, Cawthorn, Boebert, Brooks and the utterly feckless Kevin McCarthy (and a few others) seems never-ending.

This is beyond disgusting. All these corporations pay lip service to Black History Month but their management is KKK in disguise.

Does anyone know why these corporate donors chose to give $15,000? I thought Citizens United approved no limit on corporate bribery.

Fingers crossed!
