Florida Sen. Marco Rubio lashed out Thursday at Delta and Coca-Cola for daring — finally — to speak out against the restrictive Georgia law that makes it harder for people to vote.

But he’s just trying to distract you. This isn’t about the corporations. It’s about a terrible law, a blatant attempt by Republicans trying to control the voting process in Georgia. They stoop so low in the law that they even prohibit giving water to voters waiting in line.

Corporate America has started coming out against all of that. And it’s not just Coke and Delta. Major League Baseball announced Friday it will move the 2021 All-Star game out of Atlanta in response to the law. And on Friday, corporate executives from more than 170 companies issued a statement pushing to protect voting access across the country, noting: “There are hundreds of bills threatening to make voting more difficult in dozens of states nationwide.”

The law approved by the Georgia Legislature last week is a Republican power grab in a state that voted blue in the presidential and Senate elections, the first such Democratic victories there in a generation. Rubio’s video is part of a Republican attempt to punish companies that stand up, even belatedly, against the law..

American Companies. Headquartered in Atlanta.

Employing Americans from Georgia. Not Uighurs. Not Chinese nationals. Not "communists."

China isn't writing voter oppression laws. The Georgia (and Texas) GOP is.

Voter Suppression is the topic, Little Marco. Pay attentinon.
