“Today, Major League Baseball caved to fear, political opportunism, and liberal lies. Georgians — and all Americans — should fully understand what the MLB’s knee-jerk decision means: cancel culture and woke political activists are coming for every aspect of your life, sports included. If the left doesn’t agree with you, facts and the truth do not matter,” Kemp said in a statement to The AP.
“This attack on our state is the direct result of repeated lies from Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams about a bill that expands access to the ballot box and ensures the integrity of our elections,” he added, referencing President Biden and voting rights advocate Stacey Abrams, whom Kemp defeated in the 2018 gubernatorial race. “I will not back down. Georgians will not be bullied. We will continue to stand up for secure, accessible, fair elections.”
No significant voter fraud was uncovered in the 2020 presidential election but Republican lawmakers across the nation are moving to restrict access to the ballot box based on the big lie told by the outgoing president that widespread fraud took place.
