Rand Paul called for the public to boycott major league baseball (MLB) after MLB decided to relocate its All-Star Game out of Georgia because of a voting bill passed by the state.<\/p>\n<p>Asked by MacCallum about boycotting MLB in response, Paul answered, \u201cThey started it. Major League Baseball wants to boycott the whole state of Georgia, including Atlanta. They\u2019ve already gotten rid of the All-Star Game and the draft, and they\u2019re doing it because they don\u2019t like a Republican law \u2014&nbsp;a law that actually expands voting; it doesn\u2019t contract voting. Georgia now has more early voting than New York has. It\u2019s kind of ridiculous; even the facts don\u2019t meet what they\u2019re trying to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut my point is, yeah, they want to boycott us, why don\u2019t we boycott them,\u201d Paul continued, segueing to companies with headquarters in Atlanta and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/04\/01\/983450176\/based-on-a-lie-georgia-voting-law-faces-wave-of-corporate-backlash\">slammed the voting bill<\/a>. &nbsp;This is the only thing that will teach them a lesson. If Coca-Cola wants to only operate in Democrat states and wants only Democrats to drink Coca-Cola, God love \u2019em. We\u2019ll see how well they do when half of the country is drinking Coca-Cola, when half of the country quits using Delta. So the thing is, they\u2019re all woke but they\u2019re really doing something against the financial interest of every business. Publicly-traded businesses usually don\u2019t get involved with politics because it hurts their bottom line to make half the country unhappy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MacCallum quoted NBA Hall-of-Famer Charles Barkley accusing politicians from both parties of using racial politics to \u201cdivide and conquer\u201d the American populace so they could retain power. Paul responded, \u201cIt really isn\u2019t the Right or Republicans using race; it\u2019s the Left using race and saying everything is about racism. So any kind of grievance they have \u2014 they say the filibuster is racist now, even though most minorities and people in the minority always supported the filibuster because it defended, specifically, minority rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turning back to MLB, Paul continued, \u201cBut the whole thing about this, I can\u2019t imagine, they\u2019re boycotting the Georgia state law and yet they do business with China. China\u2019s never seen a free election. China\u2019s now putting people in jail for over a year at a time, for speech violations. And yet they do business with China, but Georgia expanded their voting, they added early voting, more early voting than Delaware or New York, and yet they\u2019re punishing Georgia because they think it\u2019s somehow some sort of Jim Crow. These people holding up Jim Crow signs need to remember it was the Democrats who instituted Jim Crow across the South; it\u2019s the legacy of the Democrat Party, and what Republicans have done in Georgia is expand voting access, if you read the bill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MacCallum opined that the Democrats hope that people do not read the Georgia bill, that they\u2019re hoping that what people latch on to is that the Democrats have called the bill \u201cJim Crow 2.0\u201d and that President Biden has criticized it, despite the fact that Biden\u2019s home state of Delaware has more restrictive voting laws than Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think facts do matter,\u201d Paul answered. \u201cAnd I think this is why there needs to be a broad range of news outlets, so they\u2019re not just one set of news outlets that are shaping the news to one opinion. And I think we still do have a broad range \u2026 people are going to be able to figure this out. There\u2019s no way they sweep this under the rug.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dr. Paul Joins Martha MacCallum to Discuss Georgia Voting Law Boycotts - April 5, 2021\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x0FtYceT9Gk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
