McConnell condemns corporate backlash to Georgia voting law

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) issued a statement Monday accusing U.S. corporations that oppose the GOP-sponsored law curbing voting access in Georgia of using "economic blackmail to spread disinformation."
Why it matters: Dozens of CEOs and corporations have spoken out in the wake of Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signing the new law, which institutes strict new ID requirements, gives the Republican-controlled state legislature more control over elections, and limits the use of ballot drop boxes, among other restrictions.
Many of the statements of opposition came after activists threatened to boycott Georgia-based corporations, such as Coca-Cola and Delta Air Lines.
The MLB announced last week that it would move its All-Star Game out of Atlanta as a result of the new restrictions.

Why don't you just hold up every bit of legislation sent over to the Senate by the House? That'll teach everyone a lesson!
Oh, right. You're not the Majority Leader anymore. 
Boy, it's gotta hurt to have your own tactics used against you, but this time in service of the American people and a more just society.
