Critics have said the legislation will suppress minority voters while proponents of the law argue the bill will promote election integrity.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) took aim at corporate America for bending to the will of leftist ideals. In a statement Monday, he warned there would be \u201cserious consequences\u201d if the private sector doesn\u2019t stop acting like a \u201cwoke parallel government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His comments came after the MLB made the decision to move the game based over the states new voter laws. Several other companies have also caved to the left by issuing negatives about election integrity laws nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell noted, Americans don\u2019t want big businesses to \u201camplify disinformation\u201d or \u201creact to every manufactured controversy.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Our private sector must stop taking cues from the Outrage-Industrial Complex.
