Washington (CNN) Loews Hotel Group has canceled an upcoming fundraiser for Republican Sen. Josh Hawley, saying it's opposed to "all who supported and incited" the deadly riot at the US Capitol. "Loews Hotels & Co is horrified and opposed to the January 6th events at the Capitol and all who supported and incited those actions." The luxury hotel chain said in a statement the event had been planned by the Fighting for Missouri PAC for next month at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel in Orlando, Florida. The Fighting For Missouri PAC did not respond to CNN's request for comment. In response, Hawley said in a statement provided by his office Sunday that he "will not bow to left wing corporate pressure."
