Georgia Lieutenant Gov. Casey Cagle (R) said Saturday that “conservatives are tired of being kicked around” when asked to defend his push to halt consideration of a sizeable tax cut for Delta Airlines.
WATCH:
In the wake of the Florida school shooting, Atlanta-based Delta’s CEO Edward Bastian decided to cut the company’s ties with the National Rifle Association by ending a discount program for NRA members.
Delta is reaching out to the NRA to let them know we will be ending their contract for discounted rates through our group travel program. We will be requesting that the NRA remove our information from their website.

Cagle maintained that Georgia has a “long record” of being a good home for Delta, noting that his work in the state legislature at the time helped the airline through its bankruptcy.
He noted that Bastian later added that he is “pro-Second Amendment,” which Cagle called a “step in the right direction.”
Neil Cavuto challenged Cagle on whether his decision was an example of government interfering in the free market.
“Conservatives are tired of being kicked around,” Cagle said, adding that the Peach State is “the number one state to do business in.” – READ MORE
