Titanic Sub Had History of Donating to GOP Candidates\u201d on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPublic 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,\u201d the lede stated, unequivocally setting the tone for the hit piece.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to these public finance records,\u201d author Daniel Strauss went on, \u201cRush was not a Republican megadonor, but his donations over the years leaned heavily toward Republican candidates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strauss noted donations to conservative organizations and GOP candidates either made by Rush or close members of his family but firmly concludes that \u201cthose donations are consistently Republican and include George Bush for President in 1979, the Illinois Republican State Central Committee in 1980, Citizens to Elect Rick Larsen in 2022, and friends of Mike McGavick in both 2000 and 2005.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although the author doesn\u2019t come right out and say it, the implication is that Rush\u2019s right-wing leanings may have contributed to the accident (because everyone knows Republicans <a

sub in Atlantic Ocean.\">missing submersible<\/a>, there has been increasing scrutiny on OceanGate and its top executives,\u201d noting a former employee was fired for bringing up \u201csafety concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although the story is still on the publication\u2019s website, a since-deleted tweet from The New Republic with the link elicited reactions to the callous treatment of Rush\u2019s predicament, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/titanic-sub-left-wing-rag-blasted-disgusting-report-fixating-missing-oceangate-ceos-gop-donations\" target=\"_blank\"
