The January 6, 2021 insurrection on the Capitol was something no one will ever forget, although conservative lawmakers want to re-write history and make it sound like it was a "regular tourist visit day." (Seriously, they said that). Well, AFTER that horrific event several UNIONS in the U.S. gave money to support several Politicians who voted to overturn the results of the Presidential election. These unions need to get RID of their corrupt leaders. Here's the story.
UNIONS GAVE MONEY TO GOP LAWMAKERS WHO VOTED TO OVERTURN ELECTION While labor unions tend to give more money to Democrats,
some spread their political contributions around to both political parties --
including to members of Congress who didn't want to certify Joe Biden's victory
in the 2020 election. Find out about the contributions here. [HuffPost]
All these contributions were made after Jan. 6, the day Trump
supporters stormed the Capitol, leading to five deaths.
· The
Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) contributed to the reelection efforts of eight objectors:
Rep. Lloyd Smucker (Pa.), $2,000; Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (Pa.), $2,000; Rep.
Barry Loudermilk (Ga.), $2,000; Rep. Adrian Smith (Neb.), $1,000; Rep. Ron
Estes (Kans.), $1,000; Rep. Richard Hudson (N.C.), $1,000; Rep. Kevin Hern
(Okla.), $1,000; and Rep. Greg Steube (Fla.), $1,000.

The International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers (IBEW) contributed $5,000 to the
campaign of Rep. Jeff Van Drew, the former New Jersey Democrat who opposed the
impeachment of Trump, defected to the GOP in 2019 and vowed “undying support”
for the former president.
·
The International Association of Fire Fighters
(IAFF), arguably Biden’s closest ally in the labor movement, gave money to the
reelection efforts of two members
who did not want to certify Biden’s victory: Van Drew, $2,500; and Rep. Rob
Wittman (Va.), $5,000. The IAFF was the first major union
to endorse Biden for president during his campaign.

The International Association of Bridge,
Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers, better known simply as the
Ironworkers, contributed $2,500 to the
campaign of Florida Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart.

The United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) gave $1,000 to the
campaign of Rep. Hal Rogers, the lone member
of Kentucky’s congressional delegation who objected to the Electoral College
results.

America contributed $1,000 to the
