JetBlue Wanted to Save Face, Not Democracy

Apr 08, 2021

End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller released the following statement on news that JetBlue has ended its pause in PAC donations by giving to Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11), a lawmaker who voted to overturn the voters’ will in the 2020 election, helping to incite the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6: 

“JetBlue’s decision to pause it’s corporate PAC giving was nothing more than a meaningless PR attempt to avoid scrutiny and save face. Breaking its pause in PAC contributions while offering no explanation makes it obvious that it was never about protecting our democracy. History will remember JetBlue’s role in not only underwriting, but rewarding, a deadly assault on the Capitol.”
