Last week's violent insurrection at our nation’s Capitol, was perpetrated by right-wing seditionists and incited by numerous Republican lawmakers. Republican Congress members, like Sen. Josh Hawley and Sen. Ted Cruz, refused to certify the election results that name Joe Biden our president-elect, and nd encouraged white nationalists and far-right militias to take matters into their own hands. They fueled misinformation by declaring the election results fraudulent; they sowed the seeds of white nationalism; and they encouraged baseless claims about the election that have already proven to have dangerous and deadly consequences.
This was not an isolated incident. The insurrection was an escalation of white nationalist violence against our communities that has been empowered and legitimized by the Republican party and its members, who have willingly failed to denounce such behavior. That is why corporations - like Disney, Ernst & Young, and Walmart who fund these insurrectionist lawmakers - MUST act immediately: they must cut off their funding to all 147 Republican insurrectionists and the PACs and political committees that fund them until President Trump and those Congress members who incited the insurrection are removed from their positions. We must hold the #SeditionCaucus and those that enable them accountable.
