Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp fired on his 2018 Democratic opponent, former Georgia state deputy Stacey Abrams, who led the charge against the new Peach state electoral law.
Kemp told The Story that Abrams, D-Fulton, appears to have buyer remorse after watching Major League Baseball (MLB) decide to withdraw Cobb County’s lucrative All-Star Game, and a barrage of voter boycott pledges. liberals and activists.
Last week, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred Jr. announced that he would withdraw the All-Star Game from the state in response to Kemp’s signing of the law, which prohibits the election campaign within tens of meters of a vote, expands some early votes and institutes stronger identification requirements for Georgians who wish to vote absent.
Atlanta’s Coca-Cola, led by CEO James Quincey, and Delta Airlines – the state’s largest private employer – led by CEO Edward Bastian, also criticized the law, causing conservative voters and activists to threaten their own boycotts of corporate giants. .
Kemp said Manfred “doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about” when it comes to the new law’s alleged racism and injustices.
“You know, they are not referring to any specific point in the legislation. I am happy to talk about any of these [CEO’s], by the way. You know, it’s the biggest lie ever, “said Kemp.
“Obviously [MLB] didn’t care what was said because they gave up with the pressure. President Biden’s handlers were not even able to give him a card that told what that account did. Someone is lying to you. It’s not me. You can read the bill and prove it. “In this regard, presenter Martha MacCallum noted the comments of Abrams, a prominent Democrat in the state:
“Black, Latino, AAPI and Native American voters who are the most repressed [the new law] are most likely to be hurt by potential Georgia boycotts. To our friends, please don’t boycott us. To my Georgian compatriots, stay and fight, stay and vote, “said Abrams.
Kemp accused Abrams of “making millions out of this” politics.
“People need to follow the money and see why they are doing it so effectively and, honestly, why they are working so hard on it. It has nothing to do with the merit of the project. It is political pressure from a minority group of people, the culture of cancellation. They’ve been rocking people for a long time, “he said.
He added that it is also a “distraction” for Democrats to use to keep Americans away from President Biden’s border crisis and HR 1’s “unconstitutional seizure”, the 880-page electoral bill sponsored by Congressman John Sarbanes , D-Md.
“I think it’s the opposite [of Abrams’ remarks]”said Kemp.” I think people are ready to bend over and spread the truth. “
“You know, this is the biggest upheaval since John Kerry I have ever seen. For someone who has been pushing these corporations, pushing the Major League Baseball to come after the fact and say no boycott? People are getting screwed about it, Martha.”
Kerry, Biden’s climate czar and Democratic presidential candidate in 2004, was accused of being a “somersault” on almost every major economic issue in the Iraq War during his campaign against President Bush.
Kemp said the Democrats ‘now successful calls for boycotts and relocations are hurting “workers” “small business owners in Cobb County” and the Atlanta area – since the All-Star Game should be played at the Atlanta Braves’ home .
He said baseball fans and young people who dream of playing major league sports will also be harmed because the games are being “politicized”.

“People should be terrified that this will happen in their neighborhood, in their state, in their football game, in their college, in their business.”
In response to the MLB withdrawal from Atlanta, several other cities are competing to be the replacement chosen by Manfred.
Senate majority leader Charles Schumer, DN.Y., is asking the MLB to change the game for his state, as the New York Mets have a stadium in Flushing, NY, and the Yankees in the South Bronx.
