Since 2011, multinational technology corporations including Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Comcast and Google have donated thousands to Georgia Republican Rep. Doug Collins’ campaign, according to records from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and OpenSecrets.

Collins, who serves as the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, has advocated against breaking up large technology corporations. Back in the Spring, Collins along with Wisconsin Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, wrote a letter to Judiciary Chair Rep. Jerry Nadler informing him they would not participate in an investigation of the tech industry “with pre-conceived conclusions that America’s large tech companies are inherently bad, cannot be allowed to exist in society, and must be broken up.”

On Tuesday night, Fox News host Tucker Carlson reported that Collins had released a letter defending Google, a company that has donated to his campaign. Carlson asked in his segment, “who is paying these guys?”

Well, FEC and OpenSecrets records show that since 2011, Collins has accepted a total of $180,500 from tech company and trade association PAC’s through his campaign committee and leadership PAC.
