GOP Warns Corporate America Over Iowa Race

March 26, 2021 at 6:46 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Senate Republicans are warning companies that cut off donations to the GOP after the U.S. Capitol attack that their standing on the Hill may suffer if they don’t now speak out about Democrats’ efforts to overturn a Republican House victory in Iowa,” Axios reports.

Said Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR): “If the businesses who condemned Republicans in January don’t condemn Democrats for doing the same, everyone will question whether these companies are truly committed to free elections.”
