Republicans are set to run ads during Tuesday night s All-Star Game blaming Democrats for fans in Georgia having to catch the action on television from Colorado rather than live at Truist Park in Atlanta. This was supposed to be Atlanta s night, but we were robbed, Melvin Everson, a former Republican state lawmaker, says in an ad the Republican National Committee will air during the game.
Major League Baseball in April decided to move the Midsummer Classic from Atlanta to Denver earlier this year after Georgia s Republican-led legislature and GOP Gov. Brian Kemp enacted a restrictive new voting law.
Though the MLB s decision was a reaction to Republicans actions, the party has sought to blame Democrats for the fallout claiming that leading Democratic figures criticism of the Georgia law came with steep economic costs to the city of Atlanta.
