Toyota has donated more than any other company to support members of Congress who voted against certifying the 2020 presidential election results, according to a report on political giving.
The Japanese automaker's political arm has given $55,000 since the Capitol insurrection Jan. 6 to anti-certification Republicans or their leadership political action committees (PACs). That's more than three times as much as the next biggest donor, according to data released by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).
Nearly 200 companies and industry groups initially announced plans to halt giving to the 147 members of Congress, all Republicans, who voted not to certify the election results in response to President Donald Trump's unfounded accusations of fraud.

PFC (Join to see) I'm not sure how I get to spend my money warrants that response. Sounds like a weird false dichotomy to me.

1SG (Join to see) you're sarcasm warranted it. Spend your money where you want as I would say to others. People want to keep boycotting everything but it's getting to the point everytime a company, person or entity does something people want to throw a fit about it. I just find it all simply stupid. It's getting to the point that we're gonna start looking at every person, cooperation, entity, and business donations until we find something we don't like.

1SG (Join to see) I used the dichotomy because that's how extreme things are starting to become depending ones views. I never care about donations or what people donate to. I only care about how the donations are used. I shouldn't because one could say well its their money now but if funds are used on things not even related to the cause for a donation theirs no point. If people are fed up about things then coming together collective is the only way they'll ever change it. Individually there's nothing I can do about Toyota. Because of how great their products are they'll never loose money. Even if people boycott them over this scandal it won't change a thing.
