Loews, Universal Leave Senator s Fundraiser Hanging
January 16, 2021, 2:53 PM ·
Universal Orlando s hotel partner has canceled a planned fundraiser for a U.S. Senator who has been accused of helping to incite the attack on the Capitol earlier this month.
Loews Hotels had not organized the fundraiser for Sen. Josh Hawley [R-Mo.], but its Portofino Bay Hotel was the location that an associated PAC had booked for the three-day event over the Valentine s/President s Day weekend next month. After a social media campaign targeting Loews and Universal, Loews announced today that it had canceled the booking.
We are horrified and opposed to the events at the Capitol and all who supported and incited the actions. In light of those events and for the safety of our guests and team members, we have informed the host of the Feb. fundraiser that it will no longer be held at Loews Hotels.
