Former President Trump added to a list of organizations on Saturday that he is calling on supporters to boycott for opposing Georgia’s voting restrictions.
Driving the news: Trump pushed for a boycott of Major League Baseball on Friday over plans to move the All-Star Game out of Georgia and “all the awake companies” that had taken a stand, adding, “Are you listening to Coca-Cola, Delta.” In his new statement, he said, “Boycott Major League Baseball, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, ViacomCBS, Citigroup, Cisco, UPS and Merck.”
What else does he say: Trump accused “radical left Democrats” of being dirty by boycotting companies that insult them.
- “Now they are going to do well with WOKE CANCEL CULTURE and our holy elections,” Trump said.
- “It’s finally time for Republicans and Conservatives to fight back – we have more people than them – by far!” he added, before filing a series of complaints, including about the 2020 presidential election, and then wishing, “Happy Easter!”
The other side: Democrats have criticized the new law, with President Biden calling it “Jim Crow on steroids.”
- Biden said in an interview with ESPN that aired Wednesday that he would support the MLB in moving the game from Atlanta across the restrictions.
- Citigroup declined to comment, and the other companies on Trump’s boycott list did not immediately respond to Axios’ requests for comment.
