Toyota says it will stop donating money to lawmakers who contested the results of the 2020 presidential election following recent pushback over its contributions.

A June report from left-leaning watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, found Toyota contributed more than twice as much to Republican lawmakers who voted against certifying the results than any other corporate PAC in the analysis — prompting some to call for a boycott of the automaker.

Toyota said in a statement Thursday that it is “committed to supporting and promoting actions that further our democracy” and that it understands “the PAC decision to support select members of Congress who contested the results troubled some stakeholders.”

Stop buying Toyota‘s.
Local Dealers better get Toyota to retract that policy, or many will be
starving.

Right now Toyota is receiving tons of feedback criticizing them for knuckling under to the lefties.

Toyotas safest path is to not get involved in US domestic politics at all.

Yeah it’s real high minded to prevent examination of election results.

This is all attempted dictatorship.

Will these evil corporate bastards cut off democrats for flooding the country with drugs and millions of illegals?

Pure evil.

I’m done with Toyota unless they get their nose out of where it doesn’t belong.

They pick a side— I pick a side.

After advice from a man who knows everything about cars, passed every test on mechanic qualification for any dealer, I switched to Honda.

He said it is a much superior car.

So, I left Toyota after 2012.

Now, I’ve left FOREVER.

When you are as heavily regulated as an auto manufacturer, your company depends on government not destroying you, so you donate in hopes they destroy your competitors will annoying regulations instead.

Toyota did not give in to the mob, they gave in to the Deep State that told them how miserable they would make their lives if they continued donations that worked against the Politburo.
