Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) condemned the “disinformation campaign” being pushed by Democrats in opposition to the newly-signed voting reform law in Georgia. Multiple corporations based out of Georgia, including Delta Airlines and Coca-Cola, have announced plans to boycott the Peach State in protest of the election law.
McConnell said that these corporations have fallen for a “coordinated campaign” intended to mislead Americans.
“We are witnessing a coordinated campaign by powerful and wealthy people to mislead and bully the American people. The President has claimed repeatedly that state-level debates over voting procedures are worse than Jim Crow or ‘Jim Crow on steroids.’ Nobody actually believes this. Nobody really thinks this current dispute comes anywhere near the horrific racist brutality of segregation. But there’s an old cynical saying that ‘history is just the set of lies agreed upon.’ And a host of powerful people and institutions apparently think they stand to benefit from parroting this big lie,” McConnell said in a statement.

The turtle speaks. Useless money grubbing swamp rat.
Swamp turtle.
Anything that comes close to having fair and verifiable elections, is not what democrats are about.
Without the possibility to cheat and commit fraud, the democrats would lose most elections.
It’s how Biden (and democrats) got the presidency, and it’s how they plan to NEVER lose again.
Too bad he didn’t speak up for President Trump. We wouldn’t be having this conversation.
Screw You, China Mitch.
Is he just waking up from a LONG nap? This comment would have best been served last week.
What these companies such as Delta, Coca-Cola and MLB are doing is shameful. Joe Biden told lies about the Georgia voting law that even The Washington Post gave four Pinocchios and MLB specifically cited Joe Biden's remarks multiple times in their article about moving this year's All-Star game.
I mean, what's going on here is absolutely absurd and shameful. Get off whining about Mitch McConnell for a second and focus on what is actually happening.

“Get off whining about Mitch McConnell for a second and focus on what is actually happening.”
Oh right, because my distaste for McConnell matters? Unlike the fact that McConnell waits until everything is settled, then he pipes up so he can sell himself as conservative when he’s up for re-election?
Maybe it is you that should step back and look at the real issue? We have no control over Delta, Coke, or MLB. And if we keep supporting the likes of McConnell, we’ll continue to get this garbage, with no one in our corner.
““We are witnessing a coordinated campaign by powerful and wealthy people to mislead and bully the American people.”
McConnell is a hypocrite and a liar.
He lied about Trump causing the January 6th “riots” at the capital and now he wants to blame the Democrats for “repeating absurd disinformation” on Georgia voting laws.
I detest McConnell and anyone who voted for him.
Erie! Whatever happened to him?
Woops me a new Ernest, the turtle man
Mctraitor says what?
Look, the entire GOP, every damn elected official needs to do interviews shaming the media and the corporations for this “misinformation”, otherwise known as The Big Lie.
First Crispy and now Turtle. What is it with these RINOs - finally speaking up when it’s too late.
It's a deliberable move on their part. They know it's too late, but it makes 'em look good to flyover country.
The mission to get rid of Trump is accomplished, it’s now safe to speak of fair elections.
