Right now in a Republican National Lawyers Association call, Gov. Brian Kemp says he and other republicans have been in "the fight of their lives" against "cancel culture" because of the 98 page voting law he signed.
The movement of the MLB game, he says, was “really a sad day for a baseball fine like myself that the great American pastime has gone political.” He says woke left culture is "punishing us for no reason.”
“This is not just Georgia’s fight, this is America’s fight.” Next, he said, it could be “your business” or “your ballgame” or “your way of life, if we don’t stand up” against the “woke mob.”
He says Coca Cola and Delta had no problems with the bill prior to being pressured by people outside of the state to "flip flop" their opinion. Blames Stacey Abrams for the MLB decision to move the state, and says he suspects she's skimming off the top and "lining [her] pockets."
“There’s people lyin’ to ya, and I’m not the one that’s doing that," he says.
He says HR1 would mandate Georgia have automatic voter registration (it would) and that people who lived in Georgia for "one day" could register (they really couldn't) and ignores that GEORGIA ALREADY HAS AUTOMATIC VOTER REGISTRATION.
Is it as expansive as HR 1? No, but it's stunning to see someone who was once secretary of state demonstrate such a lack of understanding as to what AVR is.
