Big business began a boycott Sunday of Republican members of Congress who followed Donald Trump's demands and voted to overturn the election.
Hotel giant Marriott, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association and Commerce Bancshare, the parent company of Commerce Bank and other community banks, all told Popular Information they were suspending donations to the group dubbed 'the treason caucus' by critics.
Ford, AT&T and Bank of America said told Popular Information they would consider lawmakers' actions when deciding on whether to donate, and CVS, Exxon Mobil, FedEx and Target said they are reviewing their political giving.
Berkshire Hathaway said the same. Its owner, Warren Buffett, is the country's most prominent investor and any boycott by his companies would set the tone for other investors.
The moves came as the two most prominent Trump loyslists, Texas senator Ted Cruz and Missouri senator Josh Hawley, both faced new demands to quit this weekend.
The Houston Chronicle, Texas' second-largest newspaper, told Cruz in an editorial that it was time to resign, saying: 'You have blood on your hands.'

The calls for Ted Cruz to quit are probably pretty amusing to him.
Are the liberals so stupid as to think we care?
Calls for Nancy Pelosi to drink gasoline and die in a fire are mounting, too. She must obey!
I wonder if they’ll have a change of heart when their corporate tax rates go up......
So, they want the shooting to start? Crony capitalists have no shame
This rapidly escalating estrangement between “red” America and “blue” enclaves scattered all through the otherwise contiguous territory of “red” America”, does not bode well for any kind of amicable reconciliation.
There are two Americas - one the nearly contiguous “red” zone, that spans the nation from coast to coast and northern border to southern border, and another of scattered “blue” enclaves, some widely separated from the others. that have been the source and center of virtually all the “rebellions” that go on in that territory once known as the “United States of America”, but might better now be called the “Untied States”.
The demarcation lines cross existing state boundaries, defined more by congressional districts than by county or even city boundaries. This could all be settled amicably, by agreement that the two definitions of America be allowed to set up separate but parallel governing systems, the “red” zone then continues to use the historic documentation and historic exercise of the representative republic on which it was founded, and the “blue” zones can set up whatever the hell cockamamie experimental kind of government they want.
But there is one caveat - neither of the two zones is permitted to export its form of government to the other. Those displeased with the form of government they are assigned to get a ONE-TIME permission to remove themselves to the form of government they believe they prefer, but it is one choice and one only, no take-backs. Then a strictly enforced boundary is set up between the two adjoining districts, and trade across these boundaries is carefully watched, and allowed for humanitarian purposes only. Smuggling of contraband or human traffic is prosecuted with the most severe of penalties.
Then we see which side gets starved out first.
These rotten corporations are just using this fake “insurrection” as an excuse to do what they were going to do anyway. I laugh when people say “this this this... It’s all just too much. We need to ban republicans, arrest Trump supporters and send them to gulags.”
THEY WERE GOING TO DO IT ANYWAY!!!
These corporations know there will be TRILLIONS handed to them from Biden’s puppet masters. Bailouts. Mandates. Corporate welfare. But don’t worry sheep and former small business owners. You’ll get another $600
They won’t be paying those taxes, as always, the middle-class will get soaked.

And most of these corporations were also more than happy to contribute millions of dollars to Black Lives Matter.
Major US Corporations have become as anti-American as have the Democrats and the RINO Republicans.
Young Dennis Hopper is their new motivational speaker (old Twilight Zone reference).
It is getting to the point where we will have to boycott the whole damn country.
I’ve pretty much thought Big Corps were un-American for years.
bttt
Dont think Ted Cruz changed much in the past four years. You are ignoring the evolution of press coverage. Once Cruz becomes a top threat he will be a nazi again to the MSM.
Every red zone has a massive population of blue voters except for a few states. It’s not as contiguous as it appears. Texas is a great example.
Nearly all of Blue Cross and Blue Shields computer systems are controlled in the United States by citizens of India living in The United States. So don’t bother trying to get a job there.
They’re hoping this will buy them the favor of the left, prove their loyalty, and keep their taxes low. Or at least lower than those of the Enemies of the People.
Definitely need to pull money out if BOA and move it to the most lonely local credit Union we can find.
No, they stopped donating to Republican’s because the Democrats are in charge now. They just said the rest to suck up to the rats. These people don’t care who is in charge they will bribe whichever side they have to.
There’s no way these corporate giants would do this if the GOP still controlled the Senate.
