As we have already reported, MLB pulled their All Star Game from Georgia in protest against the new Georgia election law which Democrats falsely claimed was Jim Crow or inhibiting voting.

After they did it and after there was a backlash to it, Stacey Abrams, who had been in full assault on the Georgia law then tried to skate away from any responsibility for the decision by MLB which cost Georgia $100 million and a whole lot of hardworking people income that, after a pandemic, one has to think they desperately need. Before the backlash Abrams had been encouraging people to pressure businesses against the law. She “said business leaders should take an unequivocal stance against the proposed voting restrictions in Georgia and other states.”

Our friends over at Hot Air have some interesting news in regard to MLB and Abrams.

According to a report from Charlie Gasparino, the MLB was blindsided by Commissioner Rob Manfred’s’ decision to pull the All Star game out of Georgia and he did that after a conversation with Abrams.

SCOOP: @MLB sources say owners were blindsided at least by the timing of @RobManfred's decision to pull the All-Star game from Atlanta. Also said his decision came after speaking w @staceyabrams, which is odd since she has now said she's against the boycott. Story developing

So what did Abrams say to him? Did she encourage him to pull it out of Georgia?

Gasparino notes that while Abrams has since backpedaled and indicated she didn’t think they should’ve pulled out, she was partnering with people who were encouraging exactly that.

What doesnt add up about @staceyabrams criticism of moving All-Star game out of Atlanta: She was initially partnering w @KingJames organization @morethanavote to oppose GA voter law. @morethanavote supports MLB decision to move out of Atl. Has she relayed her concerns to LeBron?

So it sounds like she might have been for it before she was against it.

Now Hot Air says it’s possible that she may have discouraged Manfred from pulling out and he did it anyway. Indeed an Atlanta-Journal Constitution reporter, Greg Bluestein, is claiming that’s the case.

I’m told that @staceyabrams spoke to an @MLB senior adviser and “strongly” urged the league to keep the All-Star game in Atlanta before the decision to yank the event. She also argued against a boycott before MLB’s move in a @USATODAY op-ed and @AJC interview last week. #gapol

Some reminded him of his prior reporting of Abrams whipping up businesses against the law.

Dude. Your own reporting contradicts this. pic.twitter.com/cawnJpt2iO

So whether that’s CYA or whether she said pull it or don’t pull it, Abrams definitely had a hand in pushing this whole drama and Joe Biden was more than involved telling the MLB he supported the move. It wouldn’t have happened without that.

According to Gasparino, MLB is trying now to figure out how to get out of this mess of their own creation and the fact that the move was really punishing the hard working people of Georgia, including many minorities.

SCOOP: @MLB execs also fearing significant fan backlash over @RobManfred's decision on moving All Star game out of Atl more now @FoxBusiness https://t.co/x1qMPYQMhR

Also hearing @MLB working on a possible "solution" to after criticism that moving the All Star game out of Atl will be devastating to minority businesses will address that as well now @FoxBusiness https://t.co/UhQBoVn4d7

What they really should do is just put it back and admit they were bamboozled by the Democrats and should have learned their lesson. They’re not going to admit that or say that, dare to dream, but that’s the bottom line. And Georgians should take away that it’s all political, Democrats don’t give a darn about them and vote accordingly.
