Chamber of Commerce clarifies stance on lawmakers who voted against election certification
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the powerful pro-business lobbying group, said Friday it will not base decisions to support members of Congress solely on their votes against certifying the Electoral College results. The Chamber clarified its original criticism following the Jan. 6 deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol, saying casting a vote is different than being part of pushing conspiracy theories. “We do not believe it is appropriate to judge members of Congress solely based on their votes on the electoral certification. There is a meaningful difference between a member of Congress who voted no on the question of certifying the votes of certain states and those who engaged and continue to engage in repeated actions that undermine the legitimacy of our elections and institutions,” said Ashlee Rich Stephenson, Chamber senior political strategist.

The fundraiser, a “virtual event,” is slated for Thursday, March 25 at 11 a.m. eastern. The invitation asks donors to give “suggested contributions” of $2,900 to “attend,” or $5,800 to be a “co-host” of the Ryan-Cheney event. Another interesting detail from the fundraising invitation is that the “Liz Cheney for Wyoming” campaign address to which donors are asked to make checks payable to is in Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, DC. The fact that Cheney’s campaign is headquartered in the nation’s capital rather than in the state she purports to represent is something her primary challengers will almost surely use against her. The news is significant because Cheney is facing multiple primary challenges after she voted to impeach now former President Donald Trump. Trump called her … [Read more...] about Exclusive — Paul Ryan Plots Fundraiser for Liz Cheney: ‘Royalty in the Swamp’
