Do Major Corporations Have a Problem Being Associated With Project 2025?

In a recent article, I uncovered corporate contributions to Project 2025 which they did not deny or provide comment

On Wednesday, my latest article for Unicorn Riot highlighted contributions from an executive at Ernst & Young, one of the largest professional services networks in the world, and an associate at Booz Allen Hamilton, a U.S. government and military contractor. As a former government contractor who worked on infrastructure projects, I’m quite familiar with the latter.

I received no response when I asked about the Senior Manager at Ernst & Young, Joel Frushone contributing to Project 2025. Nor did I hear from Booz Allen Hamilton when I asked about Jen Ehlinger who was an associate at Booz Allen Hamilton until December 2022 and was the former communications strategist at the U.S. State Department under Trump. 

I can only assume that they either didn’t think the article would get much attention or that they thought Unicorn Riot (or me) wasn’t worth worrying about. However, if you do a Google search for either corporation along with Project 2025, the article is first under the news category. What they clearly don’t understand is my reputation for exposing people and corporations that fund far-right extremist ideas along with the hate groups bringing that ideology to our communities.

In other words, I’ve been doing this for a long time. A lot longer than most.

Is it surprising that executives at such corporations would be involved with a plan to reshape the U.S. government and appease far-right Christian nationalist policies? No, it isn’t. Especially when considering that Project 2025 continues to further major tax breaks, lack of accountability, subsidies, and deregulation for corporations and the wealthy elites that run them. It’s precisely why people like Elon Musk are spending over $40 million a month to help reelect Donald Trump.

NOTE: What I did notice is after I asked Ernst & Young, the Heritage Foundation, and Joel Frushone about his association with Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation removed Ernst & Young from being attached to Frushone’s name on the contributor’s list. This is an interesting development indeed.

Maybe, they thought hard about it after all.
