Georgia State senator reacts to corporate America slamming voting law

ALICIA: STEVE HARRIGAN IN ATLANTA. GRIFF. GRIFF GIVE JOINING US TO REACT IS A GEORGIA STATE SENATOR WHO SUPPORTED THE VOTING RIGHTS LAW AND WHO WAS JUST AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE WITH GOVERNOR KEMP SENATOR MATT BRASS, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. TELL US WHAT WAS YOUR TAKEAWAY AND TELL US WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED? >> WELL, GRIFF, THANKS. I I THINK THE GOVERNOR DID A GREAT JOB. IT'S TIME FOR A FIGHT. ONE OF THE INTERESTING PARTS OF ALL THIS AND THIS IS ALL PRESIDENT BIDEN'S FAULT. THE WHITE HOUSE AND PRESIDENT BIDEN STACEY ABRAMS, THEY CONTINUE TO SPREAD LIES TO PAINT THEIR NARRATIVE AND THEY USE THESE CATCHY PHRASES LIKE JIM CROW 2.0 BUT WHAT'S INTERESTING IF YOU ACTUALLY GO BACK TO JIM CROW 1.0, BACK THEN IT WAS DEMOCRATS, IT WAS CORPORATE AMERICA AND IT WAS OUR MAJOR LEAGUE SPORTS THAT TOLD A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT THEIR VALUES DIDN'T MATTER, THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A VOICE AND ANYBODY THAT SUPPORTS THEM IS GOING TO GET PUNISHED AND SO THEY MAY BE RIGHT IN JIM CROW 2.0 BECAUSE WE ARE SEEING ALL OVER AGAIN WHEN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PULLED OUT OF ATLANTA, WHAT THEY SAID Y'ALL'S VALUES DON'T MATTER. YOU WILL NOT HAVE A VOICE AND YOU WILL BE PUNISHED FOR IT AND A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST GOT PUNISHED THAT PROBABLY VOTED FOR JOE BIDEN AND IT'S SAD. GRIFF: SENATOR, THE TAKEAWAY FROM THE MOVE BOTH POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC DAMAGE TO THE GEORGIA COMMUNITY THERE AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE MAJOR CORPORATIONS FROM DELTA TO COKE TO OTHERS GETTING INVOLVED. YOU KNOW, I LISTENED TO THE CEO OF DELTA TALKING ABOUT LISTENING TO HIS EMPLOYEES AND HOW THEY FELT ABOUT THIS NEW LAW AND THAT'S WHY THEY ARE RESPONDING BUT YOU DISAGREE WITH HIS DECISION? >> YES, SIR, IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE AGAIN I REPRESENT 3800 DELTA EMPLOYEES MORE THAN ANY DISTRICT IN THE STATE AND I'VE STARTED GETTING EMAILS FROM THEM SAYING THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP TO MAKE SURE MY VOTE COUNTS AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING SURE THAT MORE ACCESS TO THE BALLOTS, THANK YOU FOR EXPANDING OUR ABILITY TO VOTE AND KEEPING IT TRANSPARENT AND MAKING SURE THAT NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO CHEAT AND THEY DON'T -- THOSE EMPLOYEES, THEY DON'T HAVE A VOICE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SPEAK UP AT WORK. SO, YOU KNOW, I'M HAVING TO BE THAT VOICE FOR THEM AND IT'S -- IT'S JUST FRUSTRATING THAT THE CEO OF DELTA AND COCA-COLA, THEY DIDN'T ENGAGE TWO YEARS AGO WHEN THE DEMOCRATS WERE OUT SAYING THAT THIS WAS ELECTION FRAUD, WHEN THE DEMOCRATS WERE SAYING THAT THE MACHINES COULD BE HACKED AND THEN WE HAD THIS BILL, YOU KNOW, GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS SINCE THE SECOND MONDAY OF JANUARY OF THIS YEAR AND THEY HAVEN'T ENGAGED IN THE PROCESS UNTIL AFTER THE GOVERNOR SIGNED IT INTO LAW AND IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT. COME TO THE TABLE AND USE YOUR SKILL SET AS THE CEO OF BRINGING TWO, OPPOSING SIDES TOGETHER TO FIX A PROBLEM WITH A SOLUTION. GRIFF: SENATOR, I WANT TO GET IN WITH YOU, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOW WEIGHING IN TO THIS TAKING ON THOSE CEO'S. WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT -- WHAT IMPACT DO YOU THINK THAT WILL HAVE? >> WELL, I THINK WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS WE ARE SEEING ALL REPUBLICANS ARE STANDING UP AND FIGHTING FOR THE TRUTH AND WE -- YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO MEASURE THAT THE OTHER SIDE WILL NOT GO TO. IT'S NEVER GOOD ENOUGH AND THE CEO'S ARE GOING TO LEARN THAT AND WE HEARD THE GOVERNOR TALK ABOUT THAT AT THE PRESS CONFERENCES. IT'S NEVER GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM AND THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO STOP AND SO ONE THING I THINK THE PEOPLE SAW AND BELIEVED IN DONALD TRUMP WAS HE WAS A FIGHTER AND SO TO HAVE HIM OUT FIGHTING FOR US, IT JUST REALLY RALLIES THE TROOPS AND IT'S TIME FOR US TO STAND UP. >> IN JUST THE LAST MOMENTS WE HAVE, I DO WANT TO SHOW THE CEO'S AND THE CORPORATIONS AND HOW THEY HANDLED CHINA IN THEIR INVOLVEMENT. YOU SEE DELTA ADDED MORE THAN TONS OF FLIGHTS TO CHINA DURING THE PANDEMIC, INVESTING 4 BILLION IN CHINA FOR FUTURE GROWTH. DO YOU SEE A BIT OF HYPOCRISY THAT THE CEO'S WILL BEND TO ONLINE MOBS BUT YET WON'T TAKE ON A COUNTRY, AUTHORITARIAN COUNTRY LIKE CHINA? >> OH, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. I WILL TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER. YOU LOOK AT MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL HEADQUARTERED IN NEW YORK. NEW YORK HAS -- THEY DON'T HAVE NO -- WE HAVE, I THINK, 7 MORE DAYS OF EARLY VOTING THAN NEW YORK DOES. SO WHY DIDN'T -- WHY DIDN'T MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL ANNOUNCE THE NEXT DAY THAT THEY WERE GOING TO UP AND LEAVE NEW YORK? IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AND THESE -- THE HYPOCRISY OUT THERE IS UNBELIEVABLE AND LIKE I SAID EARLIER, IT'S JUST -- IT'S NEVER GOING TO BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM. GRIFF: SENATOR MATT BRASS, STATE SENATOR MATT BRASS, KEEP US
