“We do not believe it is appropriate to judge members of Congress solely based on their votes on the electoral certification,” a Toyota spokesperson said in a statement emailed to Axios.

If You Hate Democracy, Buy A Toyota
Toyota isn’t trying to hide it. In fact, they seem proud to donate to so many Republicans who tried to overturn the election and keep Trump in power. Toyota has a right to donate to any candidate that they choose or that candidate’s PAC.

There are a lot of great car companies that aren’t supporting the destruction of American democracy.
Toyota can donate to any candidate of their choosing, but car buyers should know where their money could go before they buy.
