McConnell backs away from warning businesses to stay out of politics
By Alexander Bolton - 04/07/21 05:22 PM EDT


Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Wednesday backed off his stern warning that companies such as Major League Baseball, Delta and Coca-Cola should stay out of high-profile political fights after they criticized Georgia’s new election law.

“I didn’t say that very artfully yesterday. They’re certainly entitled to be involved in politics. They are. My principal complaint is they didn’t read the darn bill,” McConnell said Wednesday at a press conference in Paducah, Kentucky.

The GOP leader softened his tough talk from earlier in the week, when he warned that companies would face "serious consequences" if they become "a vehicle for far-left mobs to hijack our country."

He warned that "businesses must not use economic blackmail to spread disinformation and push bad ideas that citizens reject at the ballot box." .........................................

1. Oh but YOU did read the bill, Mitch? Took a break from reading the Senate bills

You know, the ones that are your job to read?

Took a break from those for a bit, and decided to read the bill from the GA state legislature, top-to-bottom, and carefully considered every ramification of the statutes, did you?

2. Did he aplogogize for calling businesses "stupid"?
