Toyota made the move after the Lincoln Project, a Republican-led PAC that was formed in opposition to Donald Trump, released a video ad attacking the Japanese automaker for donating to lawmakers who voted on Jan.6 for not certifying the electoral victory of President Joe Biden.
In the video, a narrator says, âThe American free market, the democratic system has been good for companies like Toyota for a long time. So why would Toyota support politicians who tried to overthrow a system that has served them so well?
Toyota says its bipartisan PAC supports Democrats and Republicans running for Congress and that in 2021 “the vast majority” of its contributions went to lawmakers from both parties who “supported the certification of the 2020 election.”
