Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a bill that gives him control of Walt Disney World’s self-governing district, punishing the company over its opposition to the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law.

which bars instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade and lessons deemed not age-appropriate.

In taking on Disney, DeSantis furthered his reputation as a culture warrior willing to battle perceived political enemies and wield the power of state government to accomplish political goals, a strategy that is expected to continue ahead of his potential White House run. The feud also reinforced the governor’s brash, go-it-alone leadership style, penalizing a massive employer, tourism driver and political donor in the state over the company’s stance on a piece of legislative policy.

The coming months will be critical to DeSantis as he builds his profile out beyond Florida. He is expected to utilize the coming regular legislative session, which begins next week, to bolster his conservative agenda before he announces his candidacy for president.

There is no such thing as a 'don't say gay' law, stop using fake narratives.

I wonder if DeSatan will declare HE will make the trains run on time? (Ref: El Duche, 1941)

I love how leftists are forced to defend a giant capitalist corporation, just because DeSantis is a republican. If a democrat gov did this you would be cheering their bravery.

So, now they have to play by the same rules as everyone else in the state? I mean, if Universal gets a break, then it’s unfair. But if they don’t, maybe it’s time to level the playing field.

Disney overstepped and are now facing the consequences. They won’t leave because they like the freedom that they get in Florida. California would not be favorable because of high taxes

Disney can just relocate to California! Who needs Florida anyway? Oh, wait.

i thought GOP was about capitalism, not more government control.

How racist has Disney been over the years? How many racist movies have they had. Song of the South? Some actual family members of Disney just got mugged in Oakland.

Great Job Ron! BTW...there is nothing int he law that says anything about Gay...why don't you report the truth?

Now tell the whole story channel 2. The punishing part you’re making up to stir the pot and ignite the feeble minded. You know it stop it just stop. We know you’re trying to sell ads but your Biden is a matchmaker with China and Russia right now report on that

Walt's rolling over in his grave and disneyworld4u might go bye-bye. From what I read Walt wanted to control all the land near the park because he saw the development in SoCal near the park which fed off the park and he didn't get a cut. RonDeSantisFL will change that.

Hate USCCB so where is the Christianity

Good luck with that. If you push the mouse too hard, the mouse will just leave and where were you be without all of that tourism?

Disney promotes pedophilia — not arguable, as they literally have known symbols scattered in their content (the Hocus Pocus 2 title, anyone?!) and the masses eat it up.

Disney can relocate to a state near you where they would be more welcome . Time to split. Shut it all down . Let’s see what he says

I wonder if 'n how deSantis believes his unprecedented piracy of Disney property's governance is reasonable.

He is taking power away from a corporation that shpuld have never had it in the first place.

It will back fire one him. Disney is about to save money.
