Google: No more donations for GOP lawmakers
who voted against Biden certification.
Google will not donate money to lawmakers who voted against the certification of President Joe Biden's election win.
Congress certified Biden's electoral victory just hours after then-President Donald Trump's supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol in an effort to disrupt the constitutional proceeding, and the tech giant has announced that no lawmakers who voted against the certification will be eligible for donations from its political action committee, reported Axios.
"After the disturbing events at the Capitol, NetPAC paused all contributions while undertaking a review," said Google spokesman José Castañeda. "Following that review, the NetPAC board has decided that it will not be making any contributions this cycle to any member of Congress who voted against certification of the election results."
Some of the lawmakers who voted against certification include Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Tommy Tuberville (R-AL).
