The way I see it, if he doesn’t want a music medium to sell his product FOR ANY REASON, so be it. It’s also his right to say why he made that choice. That is true capitalism, and whether anyone agrees with WHY he does it is irrelevant.

Friendly reminder that Governor Nathan Deal had 2 poorly funded candidates run against him in the 2014 primary and he got 72.15% of the vote.
Governor Kemp had 4 opponents, one of whom was supported and funded by the behemoth of the former President...and Kemp has 73.69%...

Things that SHOULD matter more:

We did a thing today at the GA St. Board of Education. To say I am proud of this is putting it mildly. These new ELA standards, along with new literacy bills that passed in Session earlier this year, will have a lasting positive impact on our K12 Ed system for years to come.
“Georgia’s new ELA standards eliminate the final remnants of Common Core in Georgia, fulfilling Governor Kemp’s and my commitment to Georgia-owned and Georgia-grown, clear, and developmentally appropriate standards for Georgia students,” Superintendent Woods said.
