Get the news that matters most delivered directly to your inbox.President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats and leftists have made no bones about their hatred for Georgia's new voting law, which Republican Gov. Brian Kemp last week. Biden has been on record telling whoppers about the new law — and for them.Liberals, naturally, have threatened to that entire Georgia. And as is their wont, leftists have gone after companies in the Peach State. Their first target was Coca-Cola because the beverage company did not speak out loudly enough against the law. They also attacked Delta, Aflac, UPS, and Home Depot.Now they have Major League Baseball in their sights.Activists are pushing the league to move the All-Star game out of Atlanta — and they've got President Biden's support.

Or you're going to close the polling place at 5 o'clock when people just get off? This is all about keeping working folks that I grew up with from being able to vote."Biden in ESPN interview says he would strongly support MLB relocating the all-star game from Atlanta over the Georg… https://t.co/I9K5TbA4qb — Christopher Cadelago (@Christopher Cadelago)Earlier this week, various outlets have fact-checked Biden's claims about the Georgia law, most notably the Washington Post gave him for his fib that the state would be closing voting polls at 5 p.m.The new law maintains the current Election Day voting hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and will actually expand voting hours and days for early voting.Most recentRecommended© 2022 Blaze Media LLC.All rights reserved.Get the news that matters most delivered directly to your inbox.By signing up to the Blaze News newsletter you agree to receive electronic communications from Blaze Media that may sometimes include advertisements or sponsored content.© 2022 Blaze Media LLC.
