Following the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, FedEx stated “We condemn the violence that occurred in Washington, D.C., and fully support the results of the U.S. general election.”
Yet FedEx subsequently contributed $58,500 to 27 members of Congress who challenged the certification of the 2020 presidential results that day.
Relatedly, in 2020, FedEx contributed to the Republic Attorney Generals Association, two-thirds of whose members signed on to a brief urging the Supreme Court to throw out the 2020 election results from four states, and which ran a robo-calling campaign urging “patriots” to “march to Congress” and “stop the steal.”
A number of companies and organizations discontinued their affiliations with the Association, but FedEx’s position has not been communicated.
More recently FedEx has been making donations to Senator Ron Johnson despite his role in the effort to overturn the election.
