Hollywood Boycotting Georgia (7)

(1:42) Hollywood Actors Threaten Boycott of Georgia After Kemp Victory

Several Hollywood actors have called for a boycott of Georgia’s film industry after Republican Brian Kemp officially won the state’s gubernatorial contest. The hashtag #boycottgeorgia began to trend after Stacey Abrams, a former Democratic state representative and romance novelist, announced Friday that she would no longer challenge the Georgia Secretary of State’s election results. While Abrams acknowledged Kemp would be the winner of the election, she refused to call her speech a “concession” because a “concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true, or proper.” Before Kemp was certified as the official victor, actors were already threatening to boycott working in Georgia, a state with a large film industry that’s been dubbed the Hollywood of the South. The reaction from Hollywood comes after Abrams has continued to argue, without evidence, that Kemp purposely suppressed black voters while he led the Georgia Secretary of State’s office. Abrams mounted several lawsuits over the election results and repeatedly declared she wouldn’t admit defeat until every vote was counted.
========================
I appreciate the calls to action, but I ask all of our entertainment industry friends to support #FairFightGA – but please do not #boycottgeorgia. The hard-working Georgians who serve on crews & make a living here are not to blame. I promise: We will fight – and we will win.

========================
There are over 20 productions shooting in Georgia.

This is not at all surprising.

The intolerance of the Left gets stronger every day.

With Hollywood it is vanity and getting paid (mostly hasbeens, D-listers etc) to take orders or .. paying the piper his due

Interesting that the only time Hollywood seems to take any notice of the real America is when they're boycotting it, over gay bathrooms, or whatever trendy PC topic is hot.....
