Delta reverses course, calling Georgia’s voting law ‘unacceptable.’
NY Times ^ | March 31, 2021 | NYT

Posted on 03/31/2021 7:41:01 AM PDT by Stravinsky

The chief executive of Delta, Ed Bastian, sent a letter on Wednesday to employees expressing regret for the company’s muted opposition to a restrictive voting law passed last week by the Georgia legislature.

“I need to make it crystal clear that the final bill is unacceptable and does not match Delta’s values,” he wrote in an internal memo that was reviewed by The New York Times.

...

Mr. Bastian went further, saying that the entire premise of the new law — and dozens of similar bills being advanced in other states around the country — was based on false pretenses.

“The entire rationale for this bill was based on a lie: that there was widespread voter fraud in Georgia in the 2020 elections,” Mr. Bastian said. “This is simply not true. Unfortunately, that excuse is being used in states across the nation that are attempting to pass similar legislation to restrict voting rights.”

Opinions vary, Mr. Bastian. Thanks so much for sharing yours.

Someone got to him. What they have over him will eventually be revealed, but not now.

And what exactly is delta going to do tell anyone that votes Republican not fly on their airlines? They’ll go bankrupt in a year since liberals either go on private Jets or won’t pay for a ticket without a government subsidy

Not one of these people has read the bill. They are simply pandering to the woketards who tell them what is in the bill. Even Biden got four Pinocchios for his ridiculous interpretation. Read the bill. Then STFU.

“Restrictive” voting laws? How do such ignorant MF get to their positions? Oh, sucking up and peter principle. Obviously getting his “facts” from the lame stream. Better to keep your yap shut than prove you’re a dumbass. No doubt some Delta employees will tell him that. No?

“does not match Delta’s values”

Apparently Delta’s values are corrupt processes, lying and cheating. It continues to amaze me that people that have risen to the CEO level show themselves to be so gullible and stupid in believing the BLM. Antifa, and Democrat lies.

Show up at the polls. Show your ID and vote.
It’s simple.

Glad to hear the CEO of Delta Airlines weigh in on this issue of national import.

Still waiting for someone to explain to me how his opinion is worth any more than that of the owner of my local feed store.

Regards,

It might be of concern to potential airline passengers that the CEO of a major airline is politically batcrap crazy.

Delta found a chance to earn SJW cred by making a statement that is absurd.

They can do nothing

“Delta’s values” are the same as sh*t’s values. Screw this guy. Just another far left commie.
