Joe Biden’s baseless boycott is hitting Georgia’s workers and small businesses hard.
Darrell Anderson, the owner of a limousine business in Atlanta: “As the owner of a transportation service in Atlanta, I know firsthand how badly our community wanted the All-Star Game played here. The $100 million in revenue to this area was going to be the opportunity for all of us to recover some of the losses that we incurred during the pandemic. Now, not only is that revenue gone, we may lose even more because conventions that were planned for Atlanta are now up in the air thanks to this decision by the MLB.”
Tudy Rodney of Rodney’s Jamaican Soul Food: “We’re trying to build back from a pandemic that happened last year, and something like this is not good for business. Rodney’s will suffer.”
Alfredo Ortiz, Georgia business leader: “Your decision is punishing the very group you claim to be defending. Small businesses in Georgia are hurting and you pulled a multi-million dollar rug out from underneath them…Don’t let activist groups weaponize America’s pastime to push radical ideas that MLB fans don’t support.”
Andy Erbacher of AJ’s Famous Seafood & Poboys: “We’ve got ourselves through COVID…and we’re looking forward to going up, instead of going back down.”
Biden supported a boycott based on a lie, and now Georgians are losing $100 million in tourism revenue. Because Biden insisted on pushing debunked claims about Georgia’s election law, Georgia’s workers are paying the price.
