McConnell warns private corporations to stop misleading and bullying Americans

We are witnessing a coordinated campaign by powerful and wealthy people to mislead and bully the American people.

~ Leader McConnell

 

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell condemned the woke corporations in a statement today, threatening them if they continue to join forces with the Democrat Party to bully the American people. He pointed to the Georgia law.

“From election law to environmentalism to radical social agendas to the Second Amendment, parts of the private sector keep dabbling in behaving like a woke parallel government,” McConnell said. “Corporations will invite serious consequences if they become a vehicle for far-left mobs to hijack our country from outside the constitutional order.”

Governor Abbott responded to the MLB boycotting of Georgia over the blatant lie, setting a tone today when he refused to throw out the first pitch at the Texas Rangers’ home opening game.

He called Biden out for calling the Georgia Election Integrity Act “Jim Crow on steroids” even though The Washington Post has repeatedly debunked it.

“All the facts disprove the lie,” he said.

The lie has a purpose. Biden accused Democrats of wanting “to pass a sweeping bill that would let them rewrite all 50 states’ election laws and turn the Federal Election Commission into a Democrat-run partisan body.”

A total of 43 states are passing laws to tighten up the election process, and that’s what has Democrats upset. It’s obvious Democrats don’t want laws that prevent them from cheating.

Private corporations are joining in the bullying themselves.

“It’s jaw-dropping to see powerful American institutions not just permit themselves to be bullied, but join in the bullying themselves,” he continued.

He made note of the hypocrisy in states like New York that have fewer days of early voting than Georgia.

“Our private sector must stop taking cues from the Outrage-Industrial Complex. Americans do not need or want big business to amplify disinformation or react to every manufactured controversy with frantic left-wing signaling,” he said.

THE STATEMENT

“The President has claimed repeatedly that state-level debates over voting procedures are worse than Jim Crow or ‘Jim Crow on steroids.’ Nobody actually believes this. Nobody really thinks this current dispute comes anywhere near the horrific racist brutality of segregation. But there’s an old cynical saying that ‘history is just the set of lies agreed upon.’ And a host of powerful people and institutions apparently think they stand to benefit from parroting this big lie.

“The Washington Post has repeatedly debunked White House lies about legislation in Georgia: ‘In reality, Election Day hours were not changed and the opportunities to cast a ballot in early voting were expanded.’ Plenty of Democrat-run states allow fewer days of early voting than the new Georgia law requires. More than 70 percent of Americans, including a majority of Democrats and a supermajority of independents, favor commonsense voter I.D. requirements; even so, Georgia will accept alternatives to driver’s licenses to verify absentee voters. All the facts disprove the big lie.

“These absurd tactics predate this Georgia law. Last summer, just weeks after Senate Democrats used the filibuster to kill Senator Tim Scott’s police reform and anti-lynching legislation, Democrats abruptly began calling the same rules they happily used themselves a ‘Jim Crow relic.’

“This disinformation has a purpose. Washington Democrats want to pass a sweeping bill that would let them rewrite all 50 states’ election laws and turn the Federal Election Commission into a Democrat-run partisan body. This power grab is impossible to defend, so the left wants to deflect. Instead of winning the debate, they want to silence debate by bullying citizens and entire states into submission.

“It’s jaw-dropping to see powerful American institutions not just permit themselves to be bullied, but join in the bullying themselves. Wealthy corporations have no problem operating in New York, for example, which has fewer days of early voting than Georgia, requires excuses for absentee ballots, and restricts electioneering via refreshments. There is no consistent or factual standard being applied here. It’s just a fake narrative gaining speed by its own momentum.

“Our private sector must stop taking cues from the Outrage-Industrial Complex. Americans do not need or want big business to amplify disinformation or react to every manufactured controversy with frantic left-wing signaling.

“From election law to environmentalism to radical social agendas to the Second Amendment, parts of the private sector keep dabbling in behaving like a woke parallel government. Corporations will invite serious consequences if they become a vehicle for far-left mobs to hijack our country from outside the constitutional order. Businesses must not use economic blackmail to spread disinformation and push bad ideas that citizens reject at the ballot box.”

Crook Mitch is one of those powerful and wealthy people who perpetrated the coup. He now does his pretend hero act. The survival of Mitch as the “leader” of the party is equivalent to the failure of the USA as a nation.

Notice he never took a strong stand on anything he had control over, such as the election coup or the Mueller frame operation. He helped the frame operation flourish.

Today I had lunch at Taco Bell instead of McDonalds. Taco Bell serves Pepsi and I’m boycotting Coke! There are 75,000,000 Adult Americans who don’t buy into the Liberal Cancel Culture Agenda; and we have a huge financial impact on any business that pisses us off! Staying out of politics is Good Business. In America today taking a side will cost you at least half your customers. Supporting Cancel Culture is not good for business and so not good for stockholders. Stockholders need to take notice as to what your “Woke” Executives are doing to the Company’s bottom line. “Woke” Culture is creating some really bad Collateral Damage. Just wait until this summer when there will be some serious Conservative Media competition to stupid Liberals. Most people that matter in America want open debate, not propaganda. Soon Facebook and Twitter will be as well known as Hi5 and Myspace; remember them?
