Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., blasted companies for parroting President Biden's now-debunked claims, including that Georgia's new voting legislation is "Jim Crow on steroids." "Corporations will invite serious consequences if they become a vehicle for far-left mobs to hijack our country from outside the constitutional order," McConnell said in a statement. "Businesses must not use economic blackmail to spread disinformation and push bad ideas that citizens reject at the ballot box." "Wealthy corporations have no problem operating in New York, for example, which has fewer days of early voting than Georgia, requires excuses for absentee ballots, and restricts electioneering via refreshments," McConnell said.
