Sen. Cotton Calls out Stacey Abrams’ Role in Smear Campaign that Led to the Georgia Boycott

EXCERPT:

COTTON: “On March 10th, well before the Georgia election law was passed, you registered the website stopjimcrow2.com. On March 14th, you called the Georgia election bill 'a redux of Jim Crow.' On March 25th, the bill passed into law. On March 31st, you wrote an op-ed in the USA Today about Georgia's law, and your first two words in that op-ed were 'boycotts work.' Two days later, on April 2nd, Major League Baseball announced its boycott of Georgia. According to media reports, in the days leading up to Major League Baseball’s decision to pull the all-star game from Georgia, you spoke with baseball executives, you described the law as 'Jim Crow 2.0' and you urged Major League Baseball to speak out. But after its decision to withdraw the game from Georgia, you conveniently claimed that you had strongly urged them not to boycott after the horse was out of the barn and the damage was already done.”
