I briefly considered the Toyota Sedition, but settled on the Kia Sorento. More USB ports and 100 percent less insurrection. https://t.co/0GnZGY2B33

Hello @Toyota? I’ve had my @Lexus since 2012. Second one. Loved them both. Was looking at your new models for 2022. Now, though, there will not be a third one until you clean up your act. @slpng_giants https://t.co/3eq2YVGko0

Toyota makes great cars. But they are a threat to American democracy. https://t.co/r6DoUiOSK8

The error made by Toyota & others when they continue to support pols backing sedition is that they think it's politics as usual. Many thoughtful, well-informed Americans consider those pols to pose an existential threat to democracy & now see Toyota as supporting that threat.

I own a plug-in Prius hybrid that I've frequently praised on the air to our audience of 7 million; it's the last car I'm buying from @Toyota. Any company that supports people trying to overthrow our republic is a company that has lost my support. https://t.co/mSeioEc4Ri

Auto companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars convincing consumers that driving their car "says something about you"

Driving a Prius used to mean you cared about the environment. Now it's a symbol of the Big Lie. Toyota just flushed decades of branding down the toilet

No matter what happens today, every PR person is thinking: Well at least I don’t work for Toyota!

Hey @Toyota! My family owns two Priuses (or Prii). One is ten years old and ready for a replacement. We won’t purchase another Toyota again. Have a nice day. https://t.co/MjFid6yd3g

Looking forward to the release of the new Toyota Sedition with the MAGA package

.@Toyota is bankrolling the Big Lie.

What a coincidence @Toyota I do not believe it is appropriate to buy cars from companies that fund politicians who try to overthrow our Democracy.

Wifey & I are deciding between Toyota, Honda, & Nissan for our next minivan. Let's go places...not named Toyota. https://t.co/CTpbzpANyd

Happy Monday to Toyota's communications department.

I do believe it's appropriate to judge a car company solely on whether it undermines democracy. https://t.co/KiZGOjyONI

Our household will never buy a Toyota after this. Anyone else?#BoycottToyota https://t.co/ThgJlvLXa2

Yep, my 2007 Prius has served me well and I was planning on buying another Toyota, but that's it the window especially after their response. #BoycottToyota https://t.co/qV62IfYSO0

Hey @Toyota, you are now the #1 sponsor of GQP Seditionists who all voted against certifying the election. We see what drives you.

— Ricky Davila (@TheRickyDavila) June 28, 2021

Shame on you @Toyota. My next car will not be yours.

— Robyn Chance (@robynkchance) June 28, 2021

Good morning @Toyota, As a United States Army veteran who took an oath to defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and DOMESTIC, I really want to know why you continue to fund the Republican Party who assaulted our Democracy and freedoms.

— David Weissman (@davidmweissman) June 28, 2021

When corporations like @Toyota say "We do not believe it is appropriate to judge members of Congress solely based on their votes on the electoral certification," what they're really saying is "We care about our profits more than we care about democracy."

If @Toyota decides that truth, rule of law, and the tenets of democracy aren’t worth preserving, then maybe I decide that my Prius lease isn’t worth preserving either.

This car model from Toyota has taken on a new meaning. pic.twitter.com/dNLMI9GhnC
