The former president also targeted “awake” corporations that issued statements opposed to Georgian law.
“Baseball is already wasting a lot of fans,” Trump wrote, “and now they’re leaving Atlanta with their All-Star Game because they’re afraid of left-wing radical Democrats who don’t need voter ID, which is desperately needed, to have something to do with our election.

“Boycott baseball,” Trump urged, “and all the day-to-day businesses that interfere with the loose election. Listen to Coke, Delta and everything!”
“Boycotts baseball and all awake businesses that interfere with loose elections. Listen to Coca-Cola, Delta and all!”
Meanwhile, former President Barack Obama praised the MLB’s decision on Saturday and said it was an appropriate way to honor former Brave Hall of Famer Hank Aaron, who broke racial barriers in his wealthy career.
“Congratulations to [MLB] for taking a position in the name of the right to vote of all citizens,” Obama tweeted Saturday. “There is no more wonderful way for America to pay homage to the wonderful Hank Aaron, who has preached by example. “
President Biden, who called the new Republican voting bill “sick” and “Jim Crow on steroids,” also supported the move of the July game of braves house lords to Atlanta’s Truist Park home.

Georgia’s new law prohibits elections tens of yards from an electoral college, requires identity to register for a vote by mail, and extends early voting on weekends.
But in a Friday night appearance on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Toevening,” Kemp said the election in New York, home of MLB headquarters, remained “stricter” than Georgia’s.
“When you take a look at New York’s election laws, you’ll need to have an excuse to vote by mail in New York. He doesn’t do it in Georgia,” Kemp told host Tucker Carlson.
Trump has never hesitated to face major sports leagues, despite his legions of fans.
During his presidency, Trump criticized the NFL for allowing protests over the national anthem on the sidelines before the games, and last year called the NBA a “political organization” after several groups canceled playoff games in protest at police brutality.
Trump also characterized the NBA as “bought” through China, claiming that the basketball league favored its own profits rather than supporting policies for democracy.
On another Friday, Trump directed his anger at “Fake News Media” for its framing of the effects of the 2020 presidential election.
“Why is it that every time ELECTORAL FRAUDE 2020 is discussed, the fake media constantly declares that such accusations are unfounded, unfounded, unjustified, etc. ?”Trump asked.
“Unfortunately,” he continued, “there is a lot of fraud in the 2020 presidential election, and a lot of very angry people perceive it. Every day that passes, and unfortunately for the FOLES of the radical left, more and more facts arise. “
