Loews Hotels says it will no longer allow a fundraiser for Sen. Josh Hawley, which is scheduled for February, to be held at one of its hotels. The move is the latest fallout from the Missouri Republican s widely criticized decision to object to Electoral College results during Congress certification of President-elect Joe Biden s win. Now, Arizona State Rep. Mark Finchem has criticized the Hotel chain with Hitler and Stalin comment, sparking a fury on the Internet.
The fundraiser was raised by a political action committee, Fighting for Missouri, and was scheduled to take place February 12 to 15 in Orlando, Florida, at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando. A flyer for the event stated a fun-filled-family-friendly time, with tickets ranging from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the group size.
