Why does the GOP defend these people?
Over 100 corporate CEOs got together to talk about how they would respond to Voter Integrity bills being passed in states around the country.
CONFIRMED: First-of-its-kind call between more than 100 top corporate leaders on Saturday focused on how to respond to proposed changes in state voting laws. Participants included top leaders of airlines, media, law, investment.

“The gathering was an enthusiastic voluntary statement of defiance against threats of reprisals for exercising their patriotic voices,†said @JeffSonnenfeld, a @YaleSOM management professor who helped organize the confab.

ALSO NOTABLE: “There was humor and mockery” about @LeaderMcConnell‘S calls for business leaders to “stay out of politics,” a comment he later walked back.
But participants said, “It wasn’t a primary area of discussion” and that meeting was in the works before McConnell’s words.

More From The Washington Examiner:Â
During the Saturday meeting, which lasted a little over an hour, former American Express CEO Kenneth Chenault and Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier urged the others in attendance to unite and call for increased voting access and collectively sign a statement challenging new voting legislation they consider discriminatory, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Last month, dozens of black executives, led by Chenault and Frazier, signed a letter calling on companies to fight voting legislation like the law recently passed in Georgia, arguing that they disproportionately affect black voters. The new declaration, which might come early this week, is an extension of that effort.
“The meeting builds on a growing chorus from business leaders to fight more than 350 voting laws being introduced in 47 states that are discriminatory and designed to limit Americans’ ability to vote,†the Chief Executive Leadership Institute at Yale School of Management, the Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism, and the Leadership Now Project said in a joint statement about the meeting, which was obtained by the Washington Examiner.
Time for the GOP to drop corporate America.
