Biden’s back with another one-liner. Biden tells Georgia they need to “smarten up” to avoid corporate businesses from leaving the state over its new voting laws.
Tuesday, President Biden was asked about the MLB moving their All-Star game to Denver, Colorado as a boycott for the state’s new laws. Biden told the press he’s supportive of the decision.
“It is reassuring to see that for-profit operations and businesses are speaking up about how these new Jim Crow laws that are just antithetical to who we are.”
He goes on to sympathize with those who are losing their jobs as a result of the move.
“There’s another side to it too. When they in fact move out of Georgia, people who need help most, people who are making hourly wages, sometimes get hurt the most.”
However, the president says it’s really the state’s fault this is happening while continuing to applaud corporate boycotts.
“I think it’s a very tough decision for a corporation to make or group to make, I respect them when they make that judgment, I support whatever judgment they make. The best way to deal with this is for Georgia and other states to smarten up. Stop it, stop it.”
Smarten up. Can’t you just see that on bumper stickers across the country?
MLB joins other corporations who’ve issued statements condemning the new legislation, including Coca-Cola, J.P. Morgan and Delta.
