Marriott International announced that it will suspend donations to Republican senators who voted to object to the certification of Electoral College votes last week.
While several corporations in the last days announced they plan to review or pause all political contributions, Marriott took things a step further by targeting Republicans. The multinational hospitality company decided that the violence that erupted at the U.S. Capitol last week as lawmakers met to certify Joe Biden as president, came as protesters supporting President Donald Trump sought to “undermine a legitimate and fair election.”
“We have taken the destructive events at the Capitol to undermine a legitimate and fair election into consideration and will be pausing political giving from our Political Action Committee to those who voted against certification of the election,” a Marriott spokesperson said, according to Bloomberg.
Though corporate America quickly jumped in to condemn the violence, and as Democrats moved swiftly to blame it all on the president, Marriott was one of the few that said it would actually cut off financial support to the lawmakers who backed Trump’s assertions of election fraud.
Several other companies, such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Citigroup Inc., Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan Chase & Co., have also indicated that they will be making changes after reviewing the events that transpired last week. A representative for Goldman Sachs reportedly confirmed to Bloomberg that the investment firm will likely end political donations to the elected officials – all Republicans – who challenged the 2020 presidential election.

Who has a list of all the objectors in 2000 2004 and 2016 on the Dem side. This crap needs to be challenged.
They're still @ssholes, so I will only stay at a Marriott hotel if I plan to trash the room like a rock star. :-P
I will now suspend any occupancy of my Family and me at any Marriott facility from this date forth.
Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.
Hopefully, a lesson learned for Republicans who were all too happy to accept corporate donations.
At least theoretically —
One of our political parties believes in the Free Market and supports business and profits.
The other political party has gone full communist and hates this country and the concept of wealth.
And now we see Big Business engaged in a huge nation-wide effort to crush the political party that (theoretically) believes in the Free Market and supports business and profits.
Seems like a poor business plan to me.
Marriott is controlled by people very close to Romney.
Support Trump hotels and properties ONLY
Not just staying there but scheduling your conferences seminars company events
All Corporate Donations should be banned.
The Left years ago decried this, until they realized that it would be better to just take over the Corporations, well now, here we are.
Big hotel chains also don’t need to worry about competition from smaller hotels after Covid.
This is what happens when corporate boards are infected with hypocritical leftists and/or hire Leftist execs.
Bingo !
That’s my suspicion, too — Marriott is close to Romney.
Trump Hotels are nicer anyway.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Alleging widespread “irregularities” on Election Day, a group of Democrats in Congress objected Thursday to the counting of Ohio’s 20 electoral votes, delaying the official certification of the 2004 presidential election results.
The move was not designed to overturn the re-election of President Bush, said Ohio Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones and California Sen. Barbara Boxer, who filed the objection.
The objecting Democrats, most of whom are House members, said they wanted to draw attention to the need for aggressive election reform in the wake of what they said were widespread voter problems
I had not expected this kind of communist suppression from Marriott. Utahans, please note.
I hear Marriot hotels have a bed bug problem. Be a shame that rumor got around.
