At least 11 major corporations that said they would stop funding Republican members of Congress who sought to overturn the 2020 election results continue to run advertisements on Fox News, the pro-Trump propaganda outlet that fanned the same Big Lie that President Joe Biden stole the office through widespread voter fraud. Eleven more companies that responded to the Capitol riots by pausing all political action committee donations are still airing ads on the network.
The January 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump rioters claiming that the election had been stolen spurred a reckoning for some major corporations. Dozens of companies announced that they would terminate or suspend donations to the Republican members of Congress who voted against certifying the electoral votes of one or more states, according to lists compiled by Popular Information’s Judd Legum and Tesnim Zekeria and by CNN. Dozens more said they would pause all PAC contributions while they reviewed their policies.
