(DAILY FETCHED) – Left-wing publication The New Republic faced backlash after writing an apparent hit piece focusing on the GOP donations made by the now presumed dead CEO of the missing Titanic submersible, Stockton Rush. Rush was among the five individuals on the Titan vessel who sought to explore the wreckages of the famed Titanic.
However, The New Republic prioritized Rush’s “history” of donations to GOP candidates, running the hit piece titled “OceanGate CEO Missing in Titanic Sub Had History of Donating to GOP Candidates,” instead focusing on the unfolding tragedy during the exploration to the Titanic.
“Public campaign finance records indicate that Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate currently stuck on the missing Titan submersible that was running a tourist expedition of the Titanic wreck, has been a consistent Republican donor over the years,” the outlet wrote.
