Trump says companies playing to 'woke cancel culture' over Ga. election bill, calls for boycott

'For years the Radical Left Democrats have played dirty by 
boycotting products'

Former President Trump suggested Saturday that Republicans take 
a page out of what he sees as Democrats' playbook by boycotting 
the major businesses that have condemned Georgia's new election 
reform.

"For years the Radical Left Democrats have played dirty by 
boycotting products when anything from that company is done or 
stated in any way that offends them. Now they are going big time 
with WOKE CANCEL CULTURE and our sacred elections," Trump wrote 
in a statement.

"It is finally time for Republicans and Conservatives to fight 
back—we have more people than they do—by far! Boycott Major 
League Baseball, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, 
ViacomCBS, Citigroup, Cisco, UPS, and Merck. Don’t go back to 
their products until they relent," he continued.

'We can play the game better than them," Trump said.

He then repeated unproven claims that the 2020 election had been 
‘rigged’ against him.

"They rigged and stole our 2020 Presidential Election, which we 
won by a landslide, and then, on top of that, boycott and scare 
companies into submission. Never submit, never give up! The 
Radical Left will destroy our Country if we let them. We will 
not become a Socialist Nation. Happy Easter!" the former 
president wrote.

Large Georgia-based corporations like Coca-Cola and Delta issued 
statements condemning the state's new legislation after 
activists called for boycotts. The MLB also moved its All-Star 
Game and draft out of the state to protest the bill.

Georgia enacted sweeping election reform last week that required 
voter ID for absentee voting rather than relying on signature 
matching for verification, limited ballot drop boxes to one per 
county or one per 100,000 voters, expanded early voting days, 
and standardized early voting hours to a minimum of 9 a.m. to 5 
p.m. and a maximum of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The legislation barred 
outside groups from passing out food and water to those in line 
within 150 feet.

The law also handed more election authority to the GOP-
controlled estate legislature. It states that the General 
Assembly is to select the chair of the state elections board, 
rather than the board being chaired by the Georgia secretary of 
state. It also shortens run-offs from nine weeks to four.

The state election board can also now investigate county 
election boards and has the power to suspend county election 
superintendents — though the board can only suspend four at a 
time.

The law was enacted after a Democratic sweep in the Peach State, 
which Trump lost to President Biden by just over 11,000 votes. 
Trump alleged mass election fraud in the state, and sparred with 
GOP Gov. Brain Kemp and Republican Secretary of State Brad 
Raffensperger’s handling of elections. Nine weeks after the 
November election, Republican incumbent Sens. David Perdue and 
Kelly Loeffler lost to Democrats John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.
