The following story was originally published on Jan. 8 and last updated on Jan. 14.

On Wednesday, Jan. 6, a mob of Trump supporters, motivated by the President to try to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s victory, stormed into the U.S. Capitol. Members of Congress were evacuated, and by that Friday, four rioters and a Capitol police officer had died. By the time the National Guard was finally called in to clear the scene, the country’s foremost business leaders had joined other influential voices across all sectors of life to decry the actions.

Before anyone even began marching to the Capitol, groups like the Business Roundtable and U.S. Chamber of Commerce released statements against Republicans challenging the certification of the election on grounds already dismissed by the courts, and a collection of CEOs had a private call where they discussed how they were reconsidering withholding further financial support of any politician involved.
