Corporations and industry groups have donated at least $170 million in recent years to Republicans who rejected President-elect Joe Biden's victory over President Donald Trump, according to a new report by a government watchdog group.
The report by Public Citizen examines corporate and trade association contributions made since the 2016 election cycle to the 147 members of Congress who, at Trump's behest, objected to last week's formal certification of November's election.
The top corporate and industry givers to the 147 Republicans detailed in the report include:
- $2 million by the National Association of Realtors.
- $2 million by the National Bankers Association.
- $1.8 million by the National Beer Wholesalers Association.
AT&T and Comcast both suspended contributions to those who voted to overturn the election. Exxon Mobil says it's reviewing its political giving.
Nineteen of the PACs listed in the report each contributed at least $1 million over the past three cycles to congressional Republicans who voted to overturn the election. Meanwhile, 46 of the PACs gave to at least half of the Republican objectors, the report found.

Public Citizen
Another neo marxist lefty group.
The thing that *nobody* in Beijing *or* Wahington will acknowledge is that the Butchers of Bejing took the attitude,from the very start,that shutting down their economy was *not* an option but allowing 30-40 million 85 year olds to die gasping for breath *was* an option. And they knew that if the unwashed masses complained they could always blame it on Trump (just as the Rats did).
Not neo Marxist...fully Maoist.
Yep, I already have them on my blacklist.
Public Citizen is behind this effor to defund Patriots. Who are they?

Throughout its more than 30-year history Public Citizen touts that it successfully advocated for numerous left-wing policy mandates. The group’s anti-free-market lobbying agenda supports increased government spending[4] and opposed multiple tax cuts.[5] The group also touts its support for enacted policies that increased civil liabilities,[6] and imposed costly environmental mandates[7] and regulatory red-tape[8] on businesses.
PC chastises special interest lobbying for undermining the legitimacy of American Democracy.[9] However, Public Citizen is a lobbying entity[10] funded by a number of liberal financiers and special interests such as liberal billionaire George Soros, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, and the Rockefeller Foundation.[11]
