I was curious which corporations were giving money to the RNC, which in turn is helping Roy Moore in his quest to usher in the pedophilia-supporting era into the GOP. There have undoubtedly been other sexual criminals and ne’er-do-wells elected to the US Congress over the years, but I’d be hard pressed to find another example of one who seems to be making his (alleged) infraction part of his campaign platform. Since it took me some time to track down this information, I’m posting it here.
A ThinkProgress review of contributions to the Republican National Committee so far in this 2017 to 2018 campaign cycle, at least 15 companies have donated $15,000 or more each from their corporate political action committees (PACs) to the party, and are thus contributing to the pro-Moore efforts. The totals include donations through the end of September. According to Federal Election Commission data from the subscription online Political MoneyLine, these include:
- Comcast Corporation & NBCUniversal with at least $100,000.
- AT&T Inc with at least $60,000.
- Leo A Daly Company with at least $30,000.
- Amerisourcebergen Corporation with at least $15,000.
- Lockheed Martin Corporation with at least $15,000.
- Honeywell International with at least $15,000.
- Pricewaterhousecoopers with at least $15,000.
- AFLAC with at least $15,000.
- Pfizer Inc. with at least $15,000.
- Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company with at least $15,000.
- Textron Inc. with at least $15,000.
- Exelon Corporation with at least $15,000.
- The Boeing Company with at least $15,000.
- Microsoft Corporation with at least $15,000.
- BNSF Railway Company with at least $15,000.

I was unable to find information on the websites of these corporations if pedophilia was part of company policy or listed in their Code of Conduct, perhaps only in the boardroom, will this be discussed.
