Ilhan Omar on MLB Moving All-Star Game from Georgia: I Hope This Boycott Would Result in Changes in the Law
‘When you restrict people’s ability to vote, you create a democracy that isn’t fully functioning for all of us’
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
OMAR: "We know that boycotts have allowed for just this to be delivered in many spaces, the civil rights movement was rooted in boycotts. We know that you know apartheid did in South Africa because of boycotts. So our hope is that, you know, this boycott would result in changes in the law because we understand that when you restrict people’s ability to vote, you create a democracy that isn’t fully functioning for all of us. If we are continue to be a beacon of hope for all democracies around the world, we must stand our ground."
