DeSantis said he's 'basically moved on' from the Disney feud — and now wants Bob Iger to drop the lawsuit against Florida that legal experts say the company could win
Business InsiderAPR 2023
Disney is rightly fighting back against the authoritarian impulses of DeSantis, who has repeatedly weaponized Florida’s government to infringe on Disney’s First Amendment rights. The presidential hopeful has tied his political identity to fighting the absurdly characterized “woke” corporation. However, his real identity is his prejudice against LGBTQ+ people, as seen by his discriminatory laws. DeSantis cannot force Disney to abide.
Disney has been badly losing its battle against DeSantis, and it will continue to do so. Not only does the corporation not have a moral ground to stand on, but it also lacks any legal argument for its ability to defy state law. Disney is shamefully committed to indoctrinating children with inappropriate content. Its behavior should not be rewarded with undeserved corporate welfare.
