Loeffler’s group bashes ‘All-Star strikeout squad’ with Truist billboards – By Greg Bluestein (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution) / April 18 2021
Atlanta Braves fans headed to Truist Park soon won’t be able to avoid reminders of the fallout over the new election law that cost the stadium the chance to host the All-Star game.
The conservative voter-mobilization group helmed by former U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler launched a digital billboard campaign Monday blaming top Democrats for Major League Baseball’s decision to move the event.
The billboards financed by Greater Georgia feature pictures of President Joe Biden, U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock and voting rights advocate Stacey Abrams with the caption: “MLB’s All-Star Strike Out Squad.” The billboards will be on display at high-traffic areas around the Cobb County ballpark.
Since the league yanked the event in April in protest of sweeping new law, Georgia Republicans have claimed they’re under attack by a growing “cancel culture” to rev up supporters.
