Walt Disney Co Chief Executive Bob Iger fired back at Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday, saying his apparent retaliation against Disney for taking a position on legislation was 'anti-business.'

Chief Executive Bob Iger fired back at Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday, saying his apparent retaliation against Disney for taking a position on legislation was "anti-business."

Iger, answering a question at the company's annual shareholder meeting, said Disney may not have handled its position on the bill well, but added that corporations have a right to express opinions. He said it appeared DeSantis "decided to retaliate against us." "These efforts simply to retaliate for a position the company took sounds not just anti-business, but it sounds anti-Florida," Iger said.

"These collusive and self-dealing arrangements aim to nullify the recently passed legislation, undercut Florida's legislative process, and defy the will of Floridians," DeSantis wrote in a letter seen by Reuters.

And anti free speech

Reuters' new business model

Igor is a left wing clown. Corrupting kids for the almighty dollar.

Oh, boo hoo hoo. No more government handouts and corporate welfare for Woke, Inc.

Disney is anti-children.

It’s not anti business, it’s a loud message to keep you from grooming our kids

Go woke go broke

Disney has more character than DeSantis who clearly stole his schtick from Goofy.

He is absolutely right.

🖕🏿 Wokeness

Remember when leftists/liberals/Democrats hated big corporations? But now, they love big corporations - big pharma especially.

Disney is correct here.

With kids standing next to him clapping is real Joseph Goebbels.

💩

I guess Disney is anti democracy

California enters the chat

Woke

No your steps to Wokify the movies and shows you make for children, that is anti-business I say this because anyone who wants to make money selling children’s media, should probably refrain from stances in the lgbtqs fascist “army”

All the alphabets worker you is killing your buisiness

It's anti-brain.

Disney should have given fascist more money when he had his hand out. Now, he’s after you.

No one cares. They charge too much to go there, only wealthy people can go. By now people should quit confusing the color white with the color green.

Also, making business decisions that pander to one political party or another is anti-business yet so many companies do it. I just don’t get it. Maybe Iger can explain why Disney does it. Wouldn’t Disney do more business if they stayed politically neutral?

And Disney was anti-Entertainment recently... )

If you’re in the business of child grooming, then yes, it’s “anti-business”.

And government overreach. On artist Ron talks freedom but bans,books, restricts businesses and only focuses on culture wars. Not on progress.

Anti monkey business actually

Talk louder.

And Disney is just about anti-everything that once made it beloved by Americans…

Hey Igor,, Kiss my fat white ass!!

😜🤪🤡👎

I love that his name is rob iger 🤣

Blah blah blah

So RobertIger heads a company that enjoyed benefits/power that no other company has, then loses them and complains about it? Sounds pretty entitled to me. Sad he views a corporation as being above the state.

I cannot wait until Robertig & Disney decide it's time to play hardball with DeSantis. He's ill-prepared for what's coming his way...

It's not just anti-business, Bob, it's an UNCONSTITUTIONAL violation of your 1st Amendment rights. Stand up for your company and its shareholders and SUE DeSantis.

Iger is just trying to distract people from the news that he is firing 7000 employees.

Would he like some cheese with that whine?

So is pushing the Woke agenda.
