Boeing Restarts Donations to Members of the So-Called ‘Sedition Caucus’
The aerospace and defense giant paused political contributions after Jan. 6. But only for a little bit.
In a recent
filing with the Federal Election Commission, the defense contractor’s political action committee reported major contributions to three Republican members of Congress who voted to challenge the results of the Electoral College: Rep. Steve Scalise; Rep. Vicky Hartzler; and Rep. Jack Bergman.
The report, Boeing’s first to show political contributions after the assault on the Capitol, also disclosed a $25,000 gift to the Republican Attorneys General Association, whose fundraising arm
helped promote the Jan. 6 rally to “stop the steal.” Boeing contributed less than half that amount to the organization’s Democratic counterpart.
Boeing gave Scalise and Hartzler each a $5,000 donation, the
maximum limit for an election. Bergman, a Michigan conservative who in December
pushed erroneous claims of election fraud in his home state, got half that amount. (Boeing has previously donated to all three.)
