Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) backed off his “warning” that businesses should stay away from politics, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Said McConnell: “I didn’t say that very artfully yesterday.”
He clarified that companies are entitled to be involved in politics: “My principle complaint is, they didn’t read the darn bill… There are many states right now after the new Georgia law, that are much more restrictive than the new Georgia law.”
