Microsoft announced this past weekend the company will suspend donations to any GOP lawmakers who challenged fraud in the 2020 election.
Microsoft said in a statement, “The company believes that opposition to the Electoral College undermined American democracy and should have consequences.”
Of course, the company had nothing to say about opposing the Electoral College when President Trump was elected president and Democrats contested the results.
This is just the latest move by Big Tech to stifle freedom of speech in America — but only conservative speech.

Microsoft is halting political donations while reviewing whether to further suspend donations to lawmakers who voted against the certification of the election results, the company has publicly confirmed.
Microsoft said in the Sunday announcement that it will announce its final decision about a suspension of donations by Feb. 15, after completing discussions with employees.
“As Microsoft executives have said internally to employees, this is not a normal year. The company believes that opposition to the Electoral College undermined American democracy and should have consequences,” the company said in a blog post.
Microsoft President Brad Smith internally announced the decision to employees on Jan. 8.
UPDATE– Google too.
Alphabet Inc’s Google said on Monday it will not make contributions from its political action committee this election cycle to any Congress member who voted against certifying the results of the presidential election.
