Gov. Kemp: MLB’s move hurts minority-owned businesses
One America News ^ | April 11, 2021

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) has ramped up his attack on Major League Baseball, claiming their decision to move the All-Star Game out of Atlanta will hurt minorities. In a press conference on Saturday, the Republican blasted the MLB’s response to the Georgia voter law, which is estimated to cost the state upwards of $100 million. However, he did not stop there.

It’s about time the real Governor of Georgia spoke up about this. I have not heard him directly address this issue till now. Don’t let Faux “Gov” Abrams steal the spotlight.
She has already successfully sabotaged her own state by convincing COKE to leave.

Please tell me how?

How many minority owned businesses are located in The Battery?

I have no idea. Maybe every business in the place is minority owned. But I’m not feeling sorry for Rocky Patel and the cigar bar that he owns.

The Battery.....Atlanta’s Premiere Entertainment District.

Take a look at what they have to offer.

If I’m not mistaken, a one bedroom, one bath apartment starts at $1600 down there.

I can’t believe the Major League Baseball Owners haven’t got together and fired their Commissioner and moved the game back to Atlanta. That kind of action would help restore some of what they lost with that stupid decision by the Commissioner.

It's in a mostly white, liberal area.

The Braves couldn't wait to get out of Fulton County....little did they know Cobb would become so screwed up.

Abrams and lebrainless were largely responsible for this even though she initially denied supporting the pullout.

When the move was made, Cobb was still solid Red. Not so much anymore.

And with Atlanta becoming even Whiter, more Hipster Liberal and more expensive, folks are moving and playing outside of the city more.

Now toss in Atlanta’s rising crime rates, fewer cops, and less enforcement and the city is on the way to being a not so good place to live

Hell, they proposed an ordinance that if you live along The Beltline your property taxes are going up because you live there. Ha ha ha ha

Maybe the GOP Gov, GOP SOS, GOP Lt Gov and GOP AG should not have assisted in the Big Steal......

Don’t forget the GOP house and senate who refused to call a special session to investigate the voter fraud and allowed the fraudulent electors. The senators who did raise concerns and demanded investigation and other actions were stripped of their committees (Beach, Ligon, etc.)

Oh, and don’t forget the GBI whose leader was hand picked by Kemp, and answered to the SOS in their “investigation”. And the judges...

The corruption has so permeated Ga government it is mind-boggling...

Governor Kemp signed this bill knowing it would cause Stacy Abrams and Sen. Warnock to urge MLB to move the all star game out of Atlanta, and that MLB would do so, injuring lots of small business people that were counting on this for a big chunk of their annual income. And a large proportion of those business persons were black! (Atlanta is about 54% black.) They were the targets of Kemp's signing. The intent was to hurt them financially. This is just another example of the white man keeping them down!

Isn’t it wonderful that a White man can help Abrams so much!

Wrong thinking and messaging. The key message is the MSM is liars. Every time a Republican speaks to the MSM they need to point out the MSM habitually lies.

It hurts all GA small businesses not just minorities. However, it will cost Coke and Delta more in the long run.

The key message is the MSM is liars.

Granted, but the way to message that is to have everything the MSM endorse and support result in an unmitigated disaster right at home for the Marxist Useful Idiots to experience firsthand.
