The lawmaker was responding to MLB\u2019s decision to move their All-Star Game out of Georgia over a recently passed voting rights law.<\/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. Americans do not need or want big business to amplify disinformation or react to every manufactured controversy with frantic left-wing signaling. My full statement: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3Ck3qW4Mbe\">https:\/\/t.co\/3Ck3qW4Mbe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Leader McConnell (@LeaderMcConnell) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeaderMcConnell\/status\/1379057301827555330?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 5, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He claimed the move was hypocritical, noting several blue states that have more restrictive voter eligibility laws, including New York and Delaware.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo my warning, if you will, to corporate America is to stay out of politics,\u201d McConnell stated. \u201cIt\u2019s not what you\u2019re designed for. And don\u2019t be intimidated by the left into taking up causes that put you right in the middle of one of America\u2019s greatest political debates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McConnell added it would be unwise for these corporations to alienate Republicans who use their products.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/calif-gov-newsom-unveils-plan-to-reopen-on-june-15\/\">Calif.
