Yesterday some banking CEOs who have spoken out against the Georgia voting law appeared before the Senate Banking Committee:
The CEOs of America's largest banks are testifying to the Senate Banking Committee today. We'll be following along so you don't have to.

Republican Sen. Tim Scott pressed the CEOs for information about what specifically in the Georgia voting law they considered discriminatory. The CEOs didn’t have good answers at the ready:
None of the CEOs of the 6 largest banks in the US were able to share with me why they found Georgia’s election laws to be discriminatory or restrictive.

Well nobody expected the CEOs to answer “we were just going along with the Democrat narrative” did they?
CEO’s were quick to denounce Georgia’s new voting laws, yet when pressed by @SenatorTimScott, could not name anything specific about it that they disagree with.
Perhaps they should read the actual bill instead of jumping on the “woke” bandwagon. https://t.co/aWyC3jCDU0
