What about Delta's free speech rights?

This isn't cancel culture, this is government explicitly trying to punish a private entity for their clearly legal speech.

That train left the station long ago. This is just the right fighting fire with fire.

Corporations wielding millions to influence campaigns and politics - they have a PAC for that and this is a campaign finance violation.

All is fair in love and war. Delta got political and picked a side, and this is a war.

exactly right!

and the Republicans have every right to strip them of their tax break.

Delta (Coke, Gillete) wants to meddle in Woke politics, they are free to do so. But like their own expression, the other side has the same rights.

Delta Airlines is not entitled to a special tax break they apparently have.

If this is just taking away a tax break, and puts them on a level with any other business, then I don’t see why this is a problem.

Get back to us when Delat goes neutral and quits joining the Left in their Cancel Culture games.

Then we can talk principles!

What’s the punishment? Did they fine Delta, or something, for their speech?

Don’t think you should support businesses that publicly support vote fraud.

Delta is not entitled to those tax breaks and the state is not obligated to provide them.

Karl Marx had free speech too it’s all about what one says in a speech that matters to the public safety.

Do you think Delta management surveyed its employees to see how they felt or just made a unilateral decision after consulting with a few connected wokesters?

So the Delta CEO could have said that he was personally against it. Instead he used the muscle of a giant corporation to try and intimidate the legislature. That's not free speech. It's strongarm extortion.

They also have a right to stay out it and that’s what they should have did. It’s okay if they want to sell their product, but don’t tell us how to vote.

That ship has sailed. Since we have blurred the lines between what is government and what is "private" industry, it's time we started punching back with Democrat tactics.

People who won't fight because of "muh principles" will be replaced by people who will fight in whatever manner the enemy can be hurt.

Delta's ;primary job is to make money for its owners (stockholders) by safely take off and land planes with people on it.

They are not censoring Delta. They are removing a tax break because Delta has decided to become a political player. No tax breaks for you, Delta!

Delta can pack up and move to a city and State that’s in tune with their
values. Like Detroit, MI.
