A Republican state senator running for the Georgia governor’s seat charged Wednesday that Delta Airlines is donating to groups that fund abortion provider Planned Parenthood, and thus continues to favor “left-wing” causes even though it just cut its partnership with the National Rifle Association.
Sen. Michael Williams was on CNN Tuesday to complain about Delta when he was rebutted by CNN anchor Brianna Keilar. In a late Wednesday statement, he said Keilar only wanted to push a “false narrative,” and said his new research into Delta showed the problem was worse than he first thought.
“Planned Parenthood receives hundreds of thousands of dollars from Delta partner Susan G. Komen. It’s as simple as that. Has Delta cut their ties with the Susan G. Komen Foundation like they did the NRA?” Williams said.
Delta cut its partnership with the NRA in the days following the Florida school shooting.
The Georgia governor hopeful also noted that Delta is a founding member of Georgia Prospers, which he claims is an anti-religious freedom organization whose goal is to halt progress on protecting people of faith in Georgia.
“My original point is clear. Delta has no problem supporting left-wing organizations and abortion advocates, while they cut ties with 2nd Amendment rights advocates,” Williams said. “That’s not neutral! I look forward to Brianna Keilar explaining the truth to her viewers.”
