Campaign finance records show that while many corporations are re-evaluating whom to support in Congress after the Capitol riot, the GOP duo is largely insulated from any monetary fallout thanks to a large proportion of individual donors.

Expel the both of them. Make an example out of them.

Maybe Trump & Javanka can lend them some of those campaign $$$$$$$'s they moved offshore.

Chazmitaz But TED is going to the inauguration. HOw the F*$&((*$&( is that happening?

tammy_marchand The serious corporations can’t support such a liars and dangerous men to our Democracy!!!! They are as responsible as Trump on maintaining The Big Lie!!!

Absolutely agree or this scenario will continue.

lisataz I don’t think this is over yet.

They are hoping this will blow over soon. It won’t. We will not forget.

😎🇺🇸👽

BOYCOTT the TRAITORS!!

tedcruz and Hawley are Traitors.

It's way past time to investigate the issues caused by political donations. It's beyond sick.

Their image has been irreparably harmed. It doesn’t matter how much money they have, organization and ground game will relieve them of their seats. Just like in Georgia. Beto O’Rourke nearly beat Cruz. Republicans are reeling and fracturing.

Both should be expelled!!! Now

Let it be known that any corporation who donates to these guys will be boycotted.

So where are the consequences for trying to overthrow our government. If idiots continue to fund these fools. They live better than I do. there are no consequences if you’re a senator and you try to overthrow the government

Help America rid hatred, white supremacy, & seditious Senators & congressmen & women. Boycott corporations & donors for Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley & Lauren Boebert & Rand Paul.

This is not the first time. Did we treat folks this way in 2017, 2013, 2005, 2001 and so on. Why the hatred

Their law professor said they weren't paying attention in class, now they are in Congress and still not paying attention!!

Hope every donor moves away from them. Both need to resign & apologize to the American people. They thought they would continue to ride on the Trump train of lies & hate but that didn't work. The sooner they leave the Senate, the better off we'll all be.

Maybe so, but the both sank any future Presidential campaign run

They should be expelled

When you have clowns defending a clown you get a circus....just sayin'...💩

Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz should face censure at 'bare minimum': Bob CaseyThe Republican senators have faced a backlash since they opposed the Electoral College results amid the violence on January 6. The election could be stolen but more malicious it was 'rigged' in the months before, when public opinion was being formed, mostly by Big Media which chose to frame certain issues & drop others like a dirty Kleenex. This coordination was localized in a few ZIPcodes in Manhattan. I think removal from the senate and prison time is more effective. This armed killer shot 4 citizens at Naypyitaw. Among the 4 people were get shot, One person with GCS 3/15 pupil LR- One person with gunshot wound in the chest. They are using real metal bullets. Not rubber bullets.

Poll: Most GOP Voters Still Support Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz After Capitol RiotsBoth senators’ popularity with Republicans in their state dropped after Jan. 6—but they’re still more popular than their states’ other GOP senators. Dumb and dumber Probably because the media is lying about the Capitol riot. They would fair much better to be honest and stop trying to perpetuate the stupid “insurrection” nonsense. The only thing they should all be talking about is how poorly our police performed there. And that’s why we need to not give a fuck about abolishing the filibuster
