Media, Fact Checkers, Twitter All Rush to Stacey Abrams’ Rescue After MLB Boycott Backfires
by  “Sister Toldjah”

The Usual Suspects are lining up to do damage control after Abrams and other Democrats including [illegitimate] president Joe Biden and [illegitimate] Sen. Raphael Warnock helped stir up the toxic atmosphere surrounding the Georgia voting law that left the MLB little choice but to decide to move the game.

At the quick paced news cycles typically run, it seems like Major League Baseball announcing their decision to pull their All-Star game from Georgia was ages ago, but in reality, it was just a few weeks ago.

The announcement happened just two days after [illegitimate] president Joe Biden told ESPN in an interview that he would “strongly support” such a move. MLB cited Biden’s comments in their write-up on Commissioner Rob Manfred’s statement.

Not mentioned by MLB—but reportedly nevertheless a key factor in their decision to pull the game—was failed 2018 Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams, who led the way in making false comparisons between Georgia’s voting law and the Jim Crow era. Abrams repeatedly referred to the bill that eventually became law as “Jim Crow 2.0,” and Biden dutifully followed suit.

The heated rhetoric about the bill from Biden, Abrams, [illegitimate] Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and other Democrats urging corporations in so many words to “take action” to oppose the bill had already begun to do its intended damage to the state by the time MLB said they were going to move the game.

Just a few days after MLB caved to the mob, Fox Business reporter Charlie Gasparino tweeted that the decision was made after MLB spoke with Stacey Abrams:




But now the Usual Suspects—including so-called “fact-checkers” in the media and on Twitter—are lining up to conduct damage control on this issue for Abrams after Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) blasted her during a Senate hearing last week for laying the groundwork for boycotts in her own state:




Cotton daring to reveal inconvenient truths about Abrams’ lies triggered CNN “fact-checker”/Democrat apologist Daniel Dale, who claimed Cotton’s remarks were “misleading”:

Except no, what Cotton said was not “misleading” at all, for reasons explained by Real Clear Investigations senior writer Mark Hemingway and others:

Plus, one of the pieces of supposed evidence used by Dale to defend Abrams was to cite an op/ed she wrote which, as it turns out, was stealth-edited after the MLB made their decision public:




[Ministry of Truth] Politifact got caught doing the same thing re: the Abrams op/ed:




Twitter did their part to try and rescue Abrams as well, allowing this “moment” about Abrams to trend on their platform for nearly two days straight:

Abrams making public statements against boycotts ahead of MLB’s decision was a way for her to try and save face because she knew the inevitable was coming. And she also knew that once it happened the media and fact-checkers would be eager to run interference for her in the aftermath.

Also, she knows very well from prior boycott campaigns against Georgia (like the one over their pro-life bill two years ago) that left-wing activists typically respond to legislation they don’t like—and to prominent figures like Abrams giving hellfire and brimstone speeches about it—by immediately jumping on the boycott bandwagon.

She knew the moment she started referring to the law as “Jim Crow 2.0” how the outrage mobs on the left would respond, and yet she continued for weeks to lie about it. She and her knights in shining armor in the media can play word games all they want to here, but the actual facts about the toxic atmosphere she and other Democrats stirred up over the law speak for themselves.
