Iger defended his Disney’s decision to “exercise” its “right to freedom of speech” when it spoke out against DeSantis’ controversial law.

just a day before state lawmakers gave DeSantis the authority to take over the body.

Iger fielded questions from shareholders over how the battle could impact Florida taxpayers and whether the company should stay on the sidelines over such hot-button issues. Iger added that any attempts made by DeSantis to “thwart” these efforts is “not just anti-business, but anti-Florida.” “As long as I’m in the job, we’ll be guided by a sense of decency and instinct and trust our instinct that when we weigh in, the issue is truly relevant to us and the people we work with,” he said.

Bob Iger: New-ish Disney Villain

Iger was s destroying Disney without any help from DeSantis

Boo Hoo.

The biggest takeaway I got from this story is Disney World is increasing employees by 13,000 people. This needs to happen because the park turned into an insanely expensive dump under Chapek.

Anyone else see the irony of Dems who, for years preached about 'fighting corporate power' & demanding big corporations 'pay their fair share'...yet are now giddy about a big, shadowy corporation trying to fight a politician who wants reign in it's power & pay it's fair share?

Team DeSantis

Nobody is above the law

Wrong Disney maybe you should pay your taxes to Florida

Disney went woke, now they go broke

if Iger had brains, he’d seek a face to face with DeSantis and work to resolve it amicably and professionally. This approach will only make it worse.

these facists maga people are out of control

Florida owns the roads not only outside, but inside the tax district and in charge of maintenance. Shut them down.

He's just mad the gigs up.

Disney is not above reproach.
