If the left doesn\u2019t agree with you, facts and the truth do not matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis attack on our state is the direct result of repeated lies from Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams about a bill that expands access to the ballot box and ensures the integrity of our elections,\u201d Kemp continued. \u201cI will not back down. Georgians will not be bullied. We will continue to stand up for secure, accessible, fair elections. Earlier today, I spoke with the leadership of the Atlanta Braves who informed me they do not support the MLB\u2019s decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former President Donald Trump repeatedly called for boycotts against MLB following their decision to pull out of the state. \u201cFor 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,\u201d Trump said in a statement. \u201cIt is finally time for Republicans and Conservatives to fight back\u2014we have more people than they do\u2014by far!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoycott Major League Baseball, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, ViacomCBS, Citigroup, Cisco, UPS, and Merck,\u201d Trump added. \u201cDon\u2019t go back to their products until they relent.
