Former President Donald Trump released a scathing statement on Tuesday calling Georgia’s new voting law “far too weak and soft” and that Gov. Brian Kemp “caved to the radical left-wing woke mob”:

He did resurrect his attack on election worker Ruby Freeman, however, asking in the statement, “How’s Ruby Freeman doing?”:
Former President Trump mentioned Ruby Freeman in his phone call where he tried to "find" 11,000 votes.
He had placed the blame of his lost election on a Black woman who worked at a polling place because 4chan decided she rigged it, based on nothing.https://t.co/9GAQUH1fgN

On the other hand, the new law does seem to have improved Kemp’s chances at reelection. We’ll see if Trump’s criticism over the coming year changes that:

The state’s lieutenant governor also contradicting Trump on his call to boycott Georgia businesses in retaliation for their criticism of the new law:

One of the companies Trump targeted was Coca-Cola:
Republicans are fighting back against "Woke-a-Cola."

But, it seems, he hasn’t quite embraced the boycott himself yet. A photo tweeted by Stephen Miller on Monday appears to include a bottle of Diet Coke:
Donald Trump's love for diet coke has always been apparent – even now, after he's asked his followers to boycott Coca Cola.https://t.co/rIu4eRupyT
