Two members of Congress spoke at a white nationalist convention. These corporations are supporting t

Over the weekend, two members of Congress, Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ), addressed a white nationalist convention. A number of major corporations, including Ford, Walmart, Delta Airlines, and Deloitte, are financially supporting their reelection through PAC contributions to the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).

Popular Information contacted 48 corporate PAC donors to NRCC and asked if they had concerns about their contributions being used to support the reelection of politicians who are embracing white nationalists. Popular Information also asked if they would contribute additional funds to the NRCC if the organization continued to support the reelection of Greene and Gosar. Only one corporation offered a response.

Greene and Gosar addressed the America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC), an event run by white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Gosar addressed the conference by video while Greene appeared in person and was introduced by Fuentes. (Gosar addressed AFPAC in person last year.)
