Blackburn throws heat at MLB for moves made to withdraw All-Star Game out of vote-torn Georgia

Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn criticized Major League Baseball over the weekend on social media for their decision to move the 2021 All-Star Game from Georgia to rebuke recently-made changes in voters laws in that state.

Blackburn first questioned the league, asking them how much of their merchandise was made in communist China, and then said the MLB move was about the Democrat agenda.

@MLB – what do you say to communist Cuba?

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said moving the game was done after consulting with former players, all teams, and the league’s Player’s Association and the group said they were against the Georgia legislature’s move to restrict voters at the ballot box.
