Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell says it's a “big lie” to call the new voting law in Georgia racist and he warned big business to “stay out of politics.'

in Georgia racist and he warned big business to “stay out of politics" after major corporations and even Major League Baseball distanced themselves from the state amid vast public pressure.

The Republican leader has been among the most outspoken champions of the role of big money in elections, promoting the free-flow of undisclosed dollars to campaigns as a form of Constitution-protected free speech. McConnell also criticized Biden for criticizing the law, saying the president's claims had been fact-checked as false.

Republicans had initially proposed to limit weekend voting, a time when many Black churches conduct “souls to the polls” efforts. But Republicans reversed themselves, and the measure now requires two Saturdays of early voting, in addition to options for counties to open voting on Sundays. “It’s jaw-dropping to see powerful American institutions not just permit themselves to be bullied, but join in the bullying themselves," he said.

Time for Moscow Mitch to go.

Except up when Mitch wants their money to spread venom against Dems. More slippery than an anaconda ?

Screw him. He's the the King of B'S!!!

Please, Trump wasnt a politician, he just played one on TV. You seemed to like him until you thought he should be brought up on charges.

That's funny considering how much businesses contribute to politicians in order to buy their votes on legislation favorable to businesses. Once we get H.R.1 passed, maybe the reduction in contributions will shift conservative policy towards more mainstream ideals...

Mitch McConnell, what a JOKE. He doesn't have ANY power, or moral authority.

Gimme your money not your opinion. Is that it Mitch?

It's only ok for big business to donate.

Does the same apply to the My Pillow idiot?

stop bringing big business to politics, and stop getting money from Russia to fund your business!

Says the man who rigs every election to win.

MoscowMitch McConnell is known for Obstruction and Not being trueful Enough said

I agree with McConnell. CEO's and businesses should stay out of politics and that includes the money they shovel into it.

GOP none of u give a shit abt Americans

Voting law is racist = Dems will have more difficult cheating so far it's racist to have to be a legal citizen and have an ID to vote and it's racist to not allow political groups to offer gifts to those in line (inc water)

Republicans threatening business. GOP has lost it's main constituency and most powerful allies.

The BIG lie? That there was voting fraud....the Georgia law is based on a LIE. That's why it needs to go.... Why do Republicans hate America and Democracy?

FACT: After several reviews in the past election absolutely no fraud was found, but Republicans are rushing through laws to make it more difficult for minorities to vote. The only 'big lie' here is coming from Mitch McConnell.

LeaderMcConnell so it’s ok for these CEO’s to give you people millions but when they come out against racism and undemocratic practices they need to stay in their lane? That’s not racist at all.

Wow
