Heritage Action Executive Director: MLB Has ‘Weaponized’ Baseball; ‘Maybe They Should Move to Beijing’

Heritage Action executive director Jessica Anderson, who has continually highlighted the left’s lies on Georgia’s election integrity law, slammed Major League Baseball on Friday after it announced it would pull the All-Star game and Draft from Atlanta over the law.
“It’s a shame the @MLB has taken an American pastime and weaponized it against a majority of Americans who support common sense voting reforms. Maybe they should move to Beijing,” she remarked:
MLB made the announcement Friday, attributing the move to the passage of S.B. 202, which actually expands voting in Georgia despite the left’s narrative otherwise, as Breitbart News detailed:
Heritage Action has continued to address the narrative and released a “Myth vs. Fact” sheet combating the top myths touted by Democrats. The organization identified the voter suppression narrative as one of the primary myths and explained the Georgia bill “actually preserves or expands ballot access in several important ways,” including by increasing the mandatory days for early weekend voting.“The voter ID requirement replaces the state’s controversial signature match program that led to the disqualification of thousands of votes in 2020,” Heritage Action said in a “Myth vs. Fact” fact sheet.
…
Democrats also claim the law eliminates “Souls to the Polls,” suppressing minority votes, but this, again, is false. Heritage Action explained the Georgia law “was silent on Sunday early voting days prior to SB 202, and in 2020 only 16 of 159 counties offered early voting on Sundays.” In reality, the law “explicitly provides the option of holding early voting on two Sundays for all localities,” thereby increasing mandatory days of early weekend voting.
Heritage Action also tackled the myth of Georgia “suppressing” votes with new voter ID requirements, noting the vast majority of registered voters, 97 percent, already have a valid form of identification and adding that one can be obtained for free.
“The law’s voter ID requirement for absentee ballots is overwhelmingly popular in Georgia across the board. According to an AJC poll in January, 74% of Georgia voters support it, including 63% of black voters, and 89% of those making under $25K/year,” Heritage Action observed.
Even the Atlanta Journal-Constitution issued a correction of its initial description of the election law this week:
Nonetheless, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred (pictured) said the organization’s decision was “the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport”:
Gov. Ron DeSantis Gets Tough Protecting Florida From Biden's Nat. Sanctuary Policy
In an extraordinary letter, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is now demanding that the Biden Administration stop its illicit practice of releasing dangerous criminal illegal aliens in lieu of the Administration’s attempt to nationalize a “sanctuary city” policy.
According to Breitbart News, Acting ICE Director Tae Johnson recently ordered that agents not pursue illegal aliens for arrest and deportation until they have been convicted of aggravated felonies against Americans - despite the majority of illegal alien crimes targeting other immigrants.
For context, this means that under the Biden Administration, about 9-in-10 illegal aliens who would have otherwise been detained and removed will not be rewarded for breaking the law and allowed to continue living in the U.S.
Besides the reasonable demand that the President and his Administration do their jobs, during the press conference, Gov. DeSantis also directed Fla. state agencies to notify local law enforcement officials every time a criminal illegal alien is released in the community as a result of Biden’s negligence.
Members of Angle Families joined Gov. DeSantis during the presser; these are families who lost loved ones directly at the hands of aliens who entered the country illegally.
Besides accurately calling the new Biden orders a “reckless policy” and a “disregard for public safety and the rule of law,” the Gov. added - “These are convicted felons who are here illegally. If you can’t remove them, then what do you have? Just a complete lawless system and a complete open border?”
Governor DeSantis also mandated monthly updates from FDLE on all criminal illegal aliens who have had their ICE detainer lifted under Biden, including when their Florida prison terms are up and any subsequent crimes committed by the criminal aliens.
This news comes after the Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a lawsuit against the Biden Admin.’s sanctuary country directives. A.G. Moody detailed how the Biden rules have benefited criminal aliens convicted of burglary, cocaine trafficking, grand theft auto, heroin trafficking, credit card fraud, and money laundering, allowing them to be released back into Florida communities rather than being deported.
“If ICE is not willing to take custody and remove and ICE wants them released into our society, then any additional crime that is committed is, by definition, one that should have been prevented,” DeSantis concluded.

Trump Calls for Boycott of MLB Over Moving All-Star Game Out of Georgia
President Donald Trump was not shy about taking on professional sports when he was in office. He continually blasted the NFL for allowing protests during the playing of the national anthem and gave the NBA a few withering blasts for its cancelling of some playoff games to protest police violence.
Now, Trump is directing his fire at Major League Baseball because the league decided to punish the city of Atlanta — which is 32 per cent black — by taking the prestigious (and lucrative) All-Star game from them. The reason has nothing to do with Atlanta. Nor does it have anything to do with common sense. The issue, according to the league office, is Georgia’s new “restrictive” voting law.
They’re right. It is a restrictive law. It restricts the legal right to vote to only those who are eligible to vote according to the law. And that’s apparently controversial.
Trump certainly didn’t pull any punches as he went after not only MLB kowtowing to the radicals, but also terrified woke corporations.
“Baseball is already losing tremendous numbers of fans,” Trump wrote, “and now they leave Atlanta with their All-Star Game because they are afraid of the Radical Left Democrats who do not want voter I.D., which is desperately needed, to have anything to do with our elections.”
“Boycott baseball,” Trump urged, “and all of the woke companies that are interfering with Free and Fair Elections. Are you listening Coke, Delta, and all!”
Fox News:
During his presidency, Trump repeatedly hammered the NFL for allowing national anthem protests along its sidelines prior to games, and last year labeled the NBA a “political organization” after several teams called off playoff games in protest of police brutality.In fact, when one NBA executive obliquely criticized China over their crackdown on Hong Kong democracy, China complained and the NBA groveled an apology. It was only the intense pressure by Americans who were sickened by the league’s genuflecting to China that saved the executive’s job.
Trump has also characterized the NBA as being “bought off” by China, claiming the basketball league has favored its own overseas profits over supporting pro-democratic policies.
Trump isn’t the only one outraged by this cave-in by the league to the radicals.
OutKick founder and Fox Sports Radio host Clay Travis called the decision “simply pathetic” before blasting it in a series of tweets.
“This is the worst decision baseball has made since the [1994] strike,” Travis wrote. “You need an ID to pick up tickets to attend a baseball game. Or to get a beer inside once you’re there. But MLB is moving the all star game because you need an ID .
Mollie Hemmingway summed it up nicely.
Donald Trump, Jr. recommended some concrete action by GOP members in Congress.
