Brian Kemp (R) has ramped up his attack on Major League Baseball, claiming their decision to move the All-Star Game out of Atlanta will hurt minorities. In a press conference on Saturday, the Republican blasted the MLB\u2019s response to the Georgia voter law, which is estimated to cost the state upwards of $100 million. However, he did not stop there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it\u2019s being moved\u2026from a city and a metro area that is 51 percent African-American to a city that is 10 percent African-American,\u201d Governor Kemp stated. \u201cSo who is getting screwed in this? It is the little guy and it\u2019s the minority-owned businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MLB?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MLB<\/a>&#8216;s decision to move <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MLBAllStarGame?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MLBAllStarGame<\/a> out of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Georgia?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Georgia<\/a> doesn&#8217;t sit well with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrianKempGA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BrianKempGA<\/a> \u2013 especially since he says his state&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/voting?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#voting<\/a> laws are less strict than <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Colorado?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Colorado<\/a>&#8216;s! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/VarneyCo?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#VarneyCo<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BTQskuUxwk\">pic.twitter.com\/BTQskuUxwk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Varney &amp; Co.
