AT&T have now definitely ended their support for Steve King, no more "re-evaluating" for the future (source).
Still remaining:
Pinboard: Now that Intel, Purina, AT&T, Land O'Lakes, Smithfield, Black Hills Energy and the NRCC have dropped Steve King, his last significant donors are @Koch_Industries, @ValeroEnergy, Berkshire Hathaway, and @CrystalSugarCo. Curious to hear from them about their corporate values.
As has been pointed out, it's utter bullshit that all these companies are pretending that they just suddenly this second noticed that Steve King is a white supremacist who hangs out with and endorses Nazis and has done for years.
This is happening because of public pressure, and the public pressure is working. So if you can tweet at or e-mail the companies still supporting King, that'd be a good thing.
In related news, the Great Slate (which includes Steve King's opponent J.D. Scholten) has more matching funds.
