Ron DeSantis says he silenced Disney on social issues

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says Disney’s recent silence on social issues is evidence of its victory over the entertainment giant after a battle over its so-called Don’t Say Gay law.

DeSantis said news max“Since our skirmish last year, Disney has not been involved in any of these issues.” He then beamed into the broadcast, “Disney didn’t make a peep.”

He was referring to his Parental Rights in Education Act, which banned classroom instruction on gender identity or sexual orientation from kindergarten through third grade.

Disney bosses were prompted by staff to oppose the bill, with DeSantis revoking his right to self-government over his giant Orlando Walt Disney World Resort in revenge.

The likely 2024 presidential candidate continued: “Disney must not disrupt the system to the detriment of the Floridians… this is a victory for the Floridians.

“Why should a company run itself and be exempt from laws,” he said in part. “It’s like the most egregious form of corporate welfare you can believe…so we said no.”

Last year, DeSantis moved into Disney’s self-governing status.

On Friday, he signed a bill that a board of directors to nullify development agreements that the company had approved.

He said Disney tried to contract with itself before the state board took over, but said the contract is not valid.

“The legislature here has just passed a statue that I will soon sign to nullify that agreement because under Florida law these development agreements can be revoked, so I think they have become too cute,” he said.

“I think we will win that fight in the end. Disney shouldn’t be governing themselves, they should absolutely be held accountable.”

Disney sued the Sunshine State in what they said was a “targeted campaign of government retaliation.”

“First, the big problem with Disney was that they wielded a lot of political influence in this town,” DeSantis said.

“And they tried to fight us on things like parental rights and things that really matter to the people of Florida. We beat them on that. We signed a law on parents’ rights and we expanded the protections and we did a lot to go back and fight the awakened ideology.”

Walt Disney World single-handedly transformed the Orlando area after opening in October 1971.

The city of Florida is now one of America’s – and the world’s – top tourist destinations, and Universal Studios is also opening a massive theme park resort nearby.

DeSantis’s battle with Disney was widely praised by many conservatives and centrists, who complained that corporations were getting involved in social justice issues.

But the Florida governor has also faced criticism from both the left and the right, who say a true conservative should be in favor of less legislation, not more.

DeSantis has been touted as a possible Republican nominee for president in 2024.

He has yet to declare – but has not denied his rumored plans to do so.

The Florida governor was touted as a strong contender and future star of the party, but his campaign has lost its luster in recent months.

Manhattan prosecutors’ decision to indict Donald Trump over hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels has boosted the former president’s reelection campaign.

Trump, once seen as a fading also-ran, is now hammering DeSantis in the polls.

DeSantis has also been criticized for his alleged inability to connect with voters on the campaign trail.

At a recent Q&A session in Tokyo, DeSantis became very animated when asked if he was behind Trump in the polls, and was dubbed “bobblehead” for an unfortunate video of his head bobbing up and down as his eyes glistened with apparent irritation.
