ORLANDO, Florida Loews Hotels said Saturday it has canceled an upcoming fundraiser for US Sen. Josh Hawley, the latest fallout for the Republican lawmaker after the US Capitol uprising.
The Republican senator from Missouri helped staged an Electoral College challenge the day President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the US Capitol over baseless claims that Trump had won the November presidential vote.
“We are horrified and opposed to the events at the Capitol and all who supported and incited the actions,” according to a Twitter statement from the hotel. “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.”
