ATLANTA—Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Saturday denounced Major League Baseball’s (MLB) decision to move its All-Star Game out of Atlanta, saying it’s a product of “cancel culture.”
“Yesterday, Major League Baseball caved to fear and lies from liberal activists,” Kemp said during a press conference. “They ignored the facts of our new Election Integrity Law and they ignored the consequences of their decision on our local community. In the middle of a pandemic, Major League Baseball put the wishes of Stacey Abrams and Joe Biden ahead of the economic wellbeing of hard-working Georgians who were counting on the All-Star Game for a paycheck.”
