6 months after Capitol assault, corporate pledges fall flat By Associated Press Nationwide UPDATED 1:09 PM ET Jul. 04, 2021 PUBLISHED 10:01 AM ET Jul. 04, 2021 PUBLISHED 10:01 AM EDT Jul. 04, 2021 SHARE As shockwaves spread across the country from the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, corporate America took a stand against the lies that powered the mob. Or so it seemed. Dozens of big companies, citing their commitment to democracy, pledged to avoid donating money to the 147 lawmakers who objected to Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s victory on the false grounds that voting fraud stole the election from then-President Donald Trump. It was a striking gesture by some of the most familiar names in business but, as it turns out, it was largely an empty one.
