Georgia election reform made voting 'easier, cheating harder' to do : Terrell

Fox News contributor Leo Terrell rips the progressive backlash against the Georgia election reform bill.

Intimidating corporations with racism accusations is "Rev. Al Sharpton’s playbook," Fox News contributor Leo Terrell said on Tuesday in the wake of progressive backlash against the Georgia election reform bill.

"In Georgia, they've made it easier to vote, harder to cheat," Terrell told "Fox & Friends." 

Terrell noted that though the MLB All-Star game was moved from Georgia to Colorado over disapproval of the election reform bill, the Peach State has more early voting days. 

"The argument is corporations are intimidated by the allegation of racism. That's the Al Sharpton playbook. You intimidate, you accuse someone of racism. And they back down. And that's why Coca-Cola and all these corporations are afraid of that label," Terrell said.

Terrell said that corporations are afraid of racism allegations while such claims have gone rampant.

"I mean, a couple of days ago, the Portland School District was talking about it, a tree being racist. It's out of control, totally out of control," Terrell said.

"And it's all about power."
