Former President Trump
Donald Trump White House says bills are twofold, even if GOP does not vote for them. Gaetz boasted about ‘access’ to women by Florida taxpayer accused in federal case: reports Trump calls for MLB boycott for moving the All-Star Game MORE on Saturday called on Republicans and Conservatives to boycott the large number of companies amid controversy surrounding new voting laws.
In a statement issued late Saturday night, the former president aimed at Democrats to play ‘dirty’ and boycott companies that ‘in any way’ [offend] they.”
For years, the Radical Left Democrats have been playing dirty by boycotting products if something is done by the company in any way or offends. “Now they are going big time with the WOKE CANCEL CULTURE and our holy election,” Trump said in a statement issued by Save America PAC on Saturday.
He then called on Republicans to “fight back” and claimed that “we have more people than them”, urging conservatives to boycott specific companies, including Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines and Citigroup.
‘It’s finally time for Republicans and Conservatives to fight back – we have more people than them – by far! Boycott Major League Baseball, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, ViacomCBS, Citigroup, Cisco, UPS and Merck. Do not go back to their products until they are over it again. We can play a better game if they play, ‘he said.
The call comes because companies have publicly condemned the Georgia SB 202 law and other voting laws proposed in other states across the US
Many Republicans backed these efforts after Trump and his allies alleged widespread electoral fraud tainted the 2020 election amid the pandemic, when ballot papers were widely used. However, these claims have been disputed by federal and state election officials.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp

Major League Baseball this week moved the All-Star Game from Georgia out of protest against the law, the farthest action a company has taken against the law.
Trump immediately called for a boycott of MLB hours after it was announced.
Among the restrictions, SB 202 restricts the use of ballot papers and sets new requirement for photo ID for the absence of votes. It also prohibits handing out food and water to people within 150 feet of a polling station, including those waiting in line to vote.
Democrats and critics of the law say it amounts to voter oppression, especially for color communities.
Delta Airlines CEO confirms this criticism and told employees in a memo “It is clear that the bill contains provisions that will make it more difficult for many under-represented voters, especially black voters, to exercise their constitutional right to elect their representatives.”
Managers at Citibank, which owns Citigroup, also publicly opposed the law, their support behind 72 black business leaders who appealed to companies to push back against the legislation.
