US Corporations Pause Political Donations After Capitol Breach

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Several U.S. corporations suspended their campaign contributions following Wednesday’s breach of the U.S. Capitol building by pro-Trump extremists. Charles Schwab, Citigroup, Facebook, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Microsoft have halted all political contributions to both Republicans and Democrats. American Express, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Commerce Bank, Dow Chemical, Morgan Stanley and Marriott International each stopped their contributions specifically to members of Congress who they say “impeded the peaceful transfer of power” by opposing the certification of President-elect Joe Biden. Coverage in left-rated outlets was more likely to link President Donald Trump to the Capitol breach. Center- and right-rated outlets referred to the Capitol breach with a variation of “last week's attack on the Capitol.”
